Twilight tells the story of Isabella Swan, a teenager who has decided to move from Phoenix, Arizona to live with her father in the rural town of Forks, Washington. Bella is mostly ambivalent about her new living arrangement but is somewhat put down by the unfamiliar green scenery and the perennial cloudy/rainy weather conditions. Her biggest concern, understandably, is fitting in with her peers (she is a teenager, after all). Bella is quickly thrown off balance by a seemingly hateful glare from Edward Cullen, a pale, devastatingly handsome boy who only hangs out with four other pale, devastatingly good-looking people.

What is so good about this book is not that it gives you anything new but that it tells you what you already know. The problem is that we have grown accustom to either ignoring or not acknowledging the obvious signs of GOD speaking to us.
