Assignment 1 part 2

The vampire book I've read is Twilight. (And the books that followed and Midnight Sun) I really loved it. I wasn't much into vampires until I read Twilight. I'm thinking I probably don't need to give much of a summary of it because most people have either read it or have a basis of what happens in the book. It's just the story of a teenage girl with equilibrium problems who falls in love with a vampire who is dangerously attracted to the smell of her blood. And the the vampire, Edward, hates himself for not leaving and therefore putting Bella in danger by staying. Of course the movie blots out Edward's internal struggle and makes saving Bella from James Laurent and Victoria the biggest plot point of the book rather than savign Bella from Edward.
I honestly didn't have much opinion in the way of vampires before I read this book. I guess I just pictured them as in Bram Stoker's Dracula. I defiantly liek Stephanie Meyer's version of vampires better though. :)

How could you have read Midnight Sun? I heard she didn't end up publishing it.

But so that her readers who wanted a taste of it and didn't want to read it off some random site out of loyality to her she posted what she had written of it on her website.
