"Twilight" and the introduction of character

|
The first of the books, called "Twilight," is poised to become a movie, and there's little doubt it will be a sensation. "Twilight" introduces Bella, an awkward high school student who's moved to a small, rainy town in Washington to give her mother freedom to travel with her new husband, who plays minor-league baseball.
There, Bella meets the mysterious Edward Cullen and his standoffish siblings. Edward seems to hate her at first, though she can't imagine why. It turns out her smell is irresistible. Before long, the two are in love -- and Bella's life is at risk in more ways than one.
Maybe whatever makes Bella smell so good to Edward has been spritzed onto the pages of the millions of books that have been sold. Or it could just be that today's teens have an insatiable appetite for an old-fashioned romance, in which an often helpless beautiful girl is rescued repeatedly by a gorgeous man who never takes advantage of her despite his raging desire.
Whatever it is, there is something to these books. Never mind that they don't impress the literary snobs. The books are hard to put down, even when Bella is doing idiotic things -- or perhaps especially when she's doing idiotic things. (Click here for the debate:
Does "Twilight" suck the brains out of teens?)
If you're not one of those fans sitting on fang's edge awaiting a cinematic introduction to the hunky Edward and disaster-prone Bella, here's an introduction to the stars and supporting players in the saga:

Bella Swan: She's a high school student who lives in Forks with her father, Charlie, the town police chief. Bella left behind her mother, Renee, in Phoenix. Bella describes herself as klutzy -- and indeed, does seem to fall a lot. She's also one of those annoying girls who thinks she's unattractive but nonetheless is pursued by many teenage boys and, of course, Edward the hot, hot, hot vampire.
Kristen Stewart, seen in "Jumper" and "Into the Wild," plays Bella.

Edward Cullen: He's a 100-year-old vampire trapped in the luscious, glittering body of a 17-year-old boy who would have died from influenza if he hadn't been turned undead just in the nick of time.
A word about Meyer's vampires: In addition to being blessed with extraordinary beauty, which helps them capture their human prey, they sometimes possess a superpower, which is basically an exaggerated version of a former human strength. And, unlike most of the vampires you've heard of, "
Twilight" vampires can withstand sunlight, but they avoid it because it makes their skin sparkle conspicuously.
Edward can read minds -- everyone's except Bella's. What's more, she is nigh irresistible to him. That "nigh" is important, because Edward does resist her. Again and again. And again and again and again. He also resists another sort of human-meat consumption, feeding himself on wild animals he catches in the woods.
Edward has the self-control of a monk, which explains why the mothers of teenage girls find him so darned attractive. Edward also drives a Volvo and occasionally carries Bella piggyback-style, something that by itself is probably worth the price of a movie ticket.
Robert Pattinson, Cedric Diggory in "Harry Potter," plays Edward. Some fans found him to be not gorgeous enough. I invite them to check their eyesight. That said, his image on the "Twilight" poster is icky and he should totally fire his stylist.

Charlie Swan: Bella's dad and the police chief in Forks. He's possibly not all that bright, because he never did figure out how to cook in all the years since Bella's mother left him. Bella has to prepare his meals for him -- something that adds fuel to the feminist argument that Bella is a throwback to a less enlightened time.
Billy Burke plays Charlie Swan in the movie.
James: He's a tracker vampire who decides Bella is his ideal prey.
Cam Gigandet plays the role in the movie. Rachelle Lefevre plays Victoria, his lover.

The Cullen family: Vampires generally travel in covens, and Edward's pretends to be the Cullen family, which is chock full of gorgeous, muscular and mostly noble "vegetarian" vampires.
Carlisle Cullen: The head of the family. He's also the Forks doctor; so good is his control over his bloodlust, he apparently can be surrounded by it without going all pointy in the teeth. He's negotiated a truce with a neighboring pack of werewolves (more on them in later books). Centuries old, Carlisle is trapped in the body of a super-handsome 23-year-old. He and his wife have adopted the rest of the Cullen "kids."
Peter Facinelli, formerly of the TV show "Fastlane," and husband of Jennie "90210" Garth, plays Carlisle in the film.

Esme Cullen: Carlisle's gorgeous wife, whom he "saved" after she attempted suicide when her infant son died. Esme dotes on Bella and her vampire children.
Elizabeth Reaser plays Esme.
Rosalie Hale: The book describes her as beautiful, even for a vampire. But poor Rosalie has a rough backstory: She was betrayed by her own fiancé, raped and left for dead in the streets. Carlisle turned her into a vampire.
Nikki Reed plays Rosalie.

Emmett Cullen: He's big and burly, and has the distinction of being mauled by a bear before being turned into a vampire.
Kellan Lutz plays Emmett in the movie.
Alice Cullen: Edward can see into minds, and the petite, beautiful Alice can see into the future, sort of. She and Bella are best friends, and Alice really enjoys planning parties, shopping and doing her own homemade version of "What Not to Wear."
Ashley Greene plays Alice.
Jasper Hale: He's Alice's husband, and his gift is one of empathy and charisma. He can calm people down, which helps when Bella is around. Jasper is tall, muscular and full of scars from fighting young vampires.
Jackson Rathbone plays the part in the movie.

Jacob Black: He plays a larger role in later stories, but in "Twilight," Jacob is a young Native American pup with a crush on Bella, which she takes advantage of to learn more about the mysterious Cullen family.
Taylor Lautner plays Jacob, who is the son of Charlie Swan's best friend, Billy.

TWILIGHT is an action-packed, modern-day love story between a teenage girl and a vampire. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother re-marries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she's ever met. Edward is a vampire, but he doesn't have fangs and his family is unique in that they choose not to drink human blood. Intelligent and witty, Edward sees straight into Bella's soul. Soon, they are swept up in a passionate, thrilling and unorthodox romance. To Edward, Bella is what he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward & Bella do when a clan of new vampires - James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre) - come to town and threaten to disrupt their way of life?
ABOUT TWILIGHT: Based on the #1 New York Times Best-Selling series with over 17 million books in print by Stephenie Meyer, TWILIGHT is a cultural phenomenon, with a dedicated fan base that eagerly awaits this movie. There are over 350 fan sites devoted to TWILIGHT, and it has been chosen as the New York Times Editor's Choice, a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year, Amazon's "Best Book of the Decade...So Far", Teen People's "Hot List" Pick, and The American Library Association's "Top Ten Best Book for Young Adults" and "Top Ten Books for Reluctant Readers," among others. Critically acclaimed director Catherine Hardwicke brings to life this modern, visual, and visceral Romeo & Juliet story of the ultimate forbidden love affair - between vampire and mortal.

That book is quite interesting, im thinking of buying the first book call "Twilight" yet the price is ok but im still thinking of it. Due to the fact that i have to finish the frist book to buy the second book. Was just wishing that someone can buy me the book as my X'mas or Birthday present.
