    It’s taken me a long time to get around to reading this series, & know I regret waiting so long. I’ve never been one for young adult novels, always finding them to juvenile, with just mushy kisses & no storyline, but I must say this series blew them all out of the water. Bella May be a high school student, & Edward may have to act like a high school boy, instead of a decades old vampire, but they are both wise beyond their years. This book was quite fun, with just a hint of high school drama. I would suggest these books to anyone, I’m starting the second book now, I can’t wait to see who Bella’s relationship with the vampire family progresses, & if Edward will bend to Bella’s will & make her immortal.

  • good for what it is

  • I picked up this book on vacation as a plane travel read, mostly to see what all the hype is about. It does suck you in quickly and hold your attention, but the length is very manageable... so, perfect for my plane ride.

    I picked up this book on vacation as a plane travel read, mostly to see what all the hype is about. It does suck you in quickly and hold your attention, but the length is very manageable... so, perfect for my plane ride.

    I agree with one of the reviewers below: Bella does get annoying fast. However, other aspects of the book make up for it - such as the likability of the vampire characters, the author's spot-on descriptions of high schoolers, and the subtle yet effective injection of sexual tension throughout the story.

    I enjoyed reading this book but I would never recommend it to anyone else. I'm very embarrassed I enjoyed it and I'd consider it a very guilty pleasure. Bella gets annoying fast with her "I love him but I can't have him" routine. Also annoying is the fact that she is supposedly so plain, but suddenly has a billion teenage boys swooning over her. Pretty lame. But again, a guilty pleasure :D

    By far the best book I have read in years. I would re-read this book any day, and cannnot wait for the movie version to come out - though I can expect to be disappointed by the film. Meyer has a way of writing that allows me to picture the characters and their relationships perfectly, without using too much detail into the love life, or sexual life of the two main characters

    While I generally won't go out of my to get a hold of a romance novel, or a vampire romance novel at that, I still liked this book.

    It was nice to see a different twist on vampires than I normally run into. Glad to see something outside of the dark worshiping, bat loving creatures of the night.

    I'm not all that fond of the typical 'fell madly in love and can't stand to be away one moment' type of thing, but it didn't ruin the story for me.

    I'm glad my friend made me read this one. It's well written, and I enjoy the story. Now I'll just have to read the rest of them...

Deeply sensuous and extraordinarily suspenseful, TWILIGHT captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite. Isabella Swans move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Isabellas life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Isabella, the person Edward holds most dear. The lovers find themselves balanced precariously on the point of a knifebetween desire and danger.
