So now I’ve read a bit more of ‘Twilight’, it’s actually a good book, I really liked the 1st page:
Preface
I’d never given much thought to how I would die-though I’d reason enough in the last few months-but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this.
I stared without breathing across the long room, into the dark eyes of the hunter, and he looked pleasantly back at me.
Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved. Noble even. That ought to count for something.
I knew that if I’d gone to Forks, I wouldn’t be facing death now. But, terrified as I was, I couldn’t bring myself to regret the decision. When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it’s not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.
The hunter smiled in a friendly way as he sauntered forward to kill me.
Why I liked this bit? Well it’s because I find it very mysterious, you don’t know who’s talking, who the hunter is, or what’s going on.

Hi!
Twilight rocks! I loved that page too and felt really mysterious myself, as if we were intruding in her life as if we were watching her from a distance, safe away from the evil hunter. I felt this page was one of my favourite as well because of how the description grabbed me and pulled me to the edge of my seat like a magnet.
I am hoping to watch the movie in the Cinemas because I only read 17 pages of the book and I couldn’t continue it since it wasn’t mine.
But cross fingers I will watch the movie….
