This is not a vampire book. It is a teenage romance novel where the object of Bella’s obsession just happens to be an unconventional vampire. (Snark Alert! If Bella had more life experience, she would know Edward’s behavior is much more frightening than his vampirism.)
Meyers does a really excellent job of capturing the thrill of smoldering glances, flirting, first kisses, first love. Will this story stand the test of time? I have no idea, but I think it probably will. Edward can’t hold a candle to Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights) for creepiness, and women have been crazy about him for centuries.
