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.

 Wonderful Book January 8, 2009
I just loved this book. Most people read the book before they go see the movie but I did just the opposite. This book has the adventure and the wonderful romance. The passion between Bella and Edward is so real and forbidden. I have recomended this book to all the ladies where I work, I just cannot stop raving about it.
 Entertaining for all ages January 7, 2009
This is a great read for many ages. I do not fall in the target audience (young girls) but I did enjoy this book. i was unable to put it down and had to read each book in the series.
Awsomeness January 7, 2009
I have always wanted to read the book, even way before the movie,...and finally, i went out one night, saw the movie, fell in love, bought this book, fell in love even more, and I am about to buy the rest of the series. This is the type of book you CAN NOT put down. All I could think about, was what was gonna happen next!??!!?!?br /br /br /I recommend reading it. Its Great.
AMAZING!!! January 7, 2009
okay one word this book was great i got it after i saw the movie and the movie was amazing the begging is a little slow to get going but once you start reading it get well additcing i have to say. I LOVED IT!!
Good, but short, and lacking January 7, 2009
First off, let me say that if you read this, you need to read at least books 2 3 or the first book won't make sense as to where the plotline is going how she ended the book.br /br /I was really able to get right in to this book read it straight through in one sitting. It had the pull that made it feel near impossible to put the book down at the end of any of the chapters to take a break. The end of each chapter ended on such a note as to make you highly curious about what was about to happen. I'm 24, so I'm outside the YA rating, but still found it to be a good read. However, some word choices just didn't fit with the rating or the book in general; they took away from the book and made it seem childish, which didn't suit any of the characters. Quite possibly the worst offender was "sparkle".br /br /In any case, the book was a good read. I thought the characters were well thought out and well portrayed through the words. Each character's story was rolled out such that it paves the way for their involvements in the future books. The only major thing I found lacking was that the book seemed a little short for all of the information that was crammed into it. It seemed like there wasn't enough time to get a feel for the characters when there was so much other information being thrown in to support future storylines. Beefing up the novel enough to give a good balance to both character development and information passage would have made for more depth in the novel.br /br /The end of the book was good, but at the same time very abrupt. We finally get to where we're getting some decent plotline with the characters (sadly it was nearly the end of the book when this happened, rather than opening slowly over the course of the whole book) and suddenly Edward is tossed right out of the picture. It was done in a way that didn't really sync up right because of how it was done. It really does make it easier to hate the book, especially if you don't read at least books 2 3 (which are much more mature than the first). While this book was good, it really had a feel that it was aimed for very young teens, almost pre-teen age range, rather than young adult in general. I have to say, I didn't buy book #2 because the end of book #1 made me feel compelled to (via good plotline). It was actually the opposite. The end of book #1 had me so confused and annoyed as to why it ended the way it did, that I bought #2 just to find out what she was thinking, and where she could possibly be taking the plotline that it could be anywhere near interesting without one of the (major) main characters.
