Product Description
iAbout three things I was absolutely positive:brFirst, Edward was a vampire.brSecond, there was a part of him#8211;and I didn#8217;t know how dominant that part might be#8211;that thirsted for my blood.brAnd third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.br/ibr#8220;I#8217;D NEVER GIVEN MUCH THOUGHT TO HOW I WOULD DIE#8211; I#8217;d had reason enough in the last few months #8211;but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this. . . . Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of something else, someone I loved. Noble, even. That ought to count for something.#8221;brWhen Isabella Swan moves to the gloomy town of Forks and meets the mysterious, alluring Edward Cullen, her life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. With his porcelain skin, golden eyes, mesmerizing voice, and supernatural gifts, Edward is both irresistible and impenetrable. Up until now, he has managed to keep his true identity hidden, but Bella is determined to uncover his dark secret. brWhat Bella doesn#8217;t realize is the closer she gets to him, the more she is putting herself and those around her at risk. And, it might be too late to turn back. . . .brDeeply seductive and extraordinarily suspenseful, iTwilight/i will have readers riveted right until the very last page is turned.

book review: twilight January 9, 2009
I bought the twilight book series for myself for Christmas. I have not been disappointed. I just finished the first book in the series and I found it to be a real page turner. I highly recommend this book for anyone from age 14 and up.
twilight is awsome! January 9, 2009
i love it! it is thrilling and would be great for anyone who would want to read a love story
 Good but not my favorite January 9, 2009
I really did love Twilight the first time I read it and then the movie came out... the movie definatley dissapointed me. But it was quite good until i read Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. Breaking Dawn and Eclipse were amazing and I really encourage readers that werent too pleased with Twilight to keep reading and get through New Moon because us Twilight saga fans believe that New Moon was the worst. BUT you MUST read Twilight anyways because many many people come back to haunt Bella and Edward (IF she lives after James! Well I really dont want to wreck the books for you) and you will also learn that Vampires are not the only mythical create that live in Forks by the way. So if you make it through Twilight and New Moon then you will hit the (In my opionion) BEST books ever! So I hope you choose to read the Twilight books you won't be sorry! Thank you for reading my review! Team Emmett!!!!
Can't Help But Love It January 8, 2009

Although I was aware of the teeny bopper hype surrounding the Twilight series, I never thought to read these books until after I saw the movie. After watching the movie, I was so intrigued by the idea of a relationship between a vampire and human that I just had to have more. I purchased all 4 books shortly after watching the movie and finished the series within 2 weeks.br /br /Twilight the book was everything I was expecting and more. I am older than the target age group for this series and don't often read young adult literature, but I was not disappointed. I don't know what it is about the relationship between Bella and Edward, but I just couldn't get enough of it. Although the "forbidden love" theme is common, Twilight takes the cliche love story to a whole new level. A relationship between a vampire and a human is not just "forbidden", it is downright lethal - And yet Edward's love for Bella is so strong that he fights his very nature to avoid killing her. br /br /As with most books that have been adapted on the big screen, I have to say that I prefer the book to the movie (although I truly did enjoy the movie and look forward to the next three). I do wish that I had read the book prior to watching the movie, as it is a bit anti-climactic to read a book whose plot (for the most part) and ending is not a surprise. Additionally, I had a hard time escaping the mental images of the characters as depicted in the movie when I was reading this and the other books. Although I think that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart make a great Edward and Bella, I can't help but wonder what image of them I would have had in my head had I not seen the movie first.br /br /I think that Stephenie Meyer created a great story with this book, although as others have mentioned, the amount of typographical errors in the text was somewhat distracting. There were a few instances (in this and the other three books) where I had to pause and re-read something because it just did not make sense to me. Usually I understood what Meyer was trying to say after re-reading it several times, but there was more than one occasion where I just could not make sense of what was being said and had to move on. Sure I am just one person, but if I had this problem I can imagine that other readers did as well.br /br /Overall, Twilight succeeds as a guilty pleasure read and it is not difficult to see why this series has such a large fanbase. Surely I don't think this book will ever become a classic, nor is it one of the deepest pieces of literature that I have ever read, but I would never expect that from a YA book. It is what it is, and I can't imagine anyone going into Twilight with realistic expectations and not enjoying, if not falling in love, with it.
