  When I went back to China, Twilight was one of the few books I brought with me.
  I first saw this book at a presentation in grade 5. Graduating students (grade 7s) were having this presentation about themselves, and one of the grade 7s brought the whole set of the Twilight Saga, and introduced it as her favourite book.
  I always wanted to read it, but never got to actually taking it out of the library. Before I went back to China, my cousin got me the first 2 books as a good-bye gift.
  I read this book at least 20 times. Why? Not because I am obsessed with the book (though I never seemed to get tired of reading it either), because I had no other English books to read. Of course I has the second book, New Moon, but I didn't like it very much...
  Now every time, I go back to China, if I see this book, I just have this urge to read it. When I first read it, it was ultimately my favourite book. But when I started reading more of the other books, my love for it just dimmed.
  My favourite part of Twilight is how different Bella an Edward were in the beginning. I have to admit, I liked Edward better when he wasn't totally in control of himself. During the first book, it was really epic when he saved Bella from evil people on the streets, but he was really angry. I felt like Edward rarely ever got out of control after that.
  NOTE: DON'T WATCH THE MOVIE!!!
  Well, you can... But I thought the movie was really a whole different thing from the book. Some stories (such as this one), just can't be made into a good movie because of the high expectations of the character's looks. For example, Harry Potter was a really good movie because Harry didn't have to look like a pale super-model god. But apparently Edward Cullen does, and there just isn't someone who could look like that in real life.
