This is one of the most popular book series for teens right now. I had to give in and read it. It's about a vampire named Edward Cullen and a human girl, Bella Swan. Bella is in high school and has moved to live with her dad in a small town in Oregon. She meets the Cullen family who all eat by themselves at lunch and are kind of standoffish from the rest of the school. Then Bella meets Edward in her biology class and he's very different from all the other boys. Well you can guess she figures out that he's a vampire and so is the rest of his family. She ends up falling for him and well... guess you'll have to read it if you want to know more.
I liked Meyer's style--very conversational and contemporary. I can see why these books are such a hit with teens and adults right now.
The movie comes out in November (it's taking Harry Potter #6's spot since it's release was postponed to next July). I'm looking forward to the second installment called "New Moon". First I'll be reading or rather continuing with "Nineteen Minutes" by Jodi Piccoult (book club pick for September).
