The book that started the phenomenon is now available in a deluxe collector's edition! Featuring a ribbon bookmark, cloth cover, ragged edges, new chapter opener designs, and a beautiful protective slipcase, this edition is perfect for fans and collectors alike.
Bella Swan's 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, Bella's 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 Bella, the person Edward holds most dear.
Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.
Product Description
About three things I was absolutely positive:
First, Edward was a vampire.
Second, there was a part of him–and I didn’t know how dominant that part might be–that thirsted for my blood.
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
“I’D NEVER GIVEN MUCH THOUGHT TO HOW I WOULD DIE– I’d had reason enough in the last few months –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.”
When 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.
What Bella doesn’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. . . .
Deeply seductive and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight will have readers riveted right until the very last page is turned.

 An Insult to Literature November 22, 2008
And that's really all I have to say. This book was a huge disappointment for all I heard about it, completely with dismal one dimensional characters and a loose plot and complete sexism. Belle is a complete moron and I figured if I read one more word about how 'perfect' Edward Cullen is, I was going to just set the book on fire.
A mockery of literature. I can't believe this got published and became popular when there are millions of better things that could've been in it's place that didn't absolutely suck.
 An Entertaining Read, But Is It Great? Not Really. November 21, 2008
After several years of bugging by my younger sister, and all of the recent media hype, I finally broke down and read "Twilight" the first book in Stephanie Meyer's wildly popular Twilight Saga. After reading almost 500 pages in less than a week, I have a couple of things to say about Twilight.
1. It really does pull you in. Yes, there are parts of the book that are cheesy, and after a while you do get tired of hearing the vampire and teenage girl confess their love for each other, over, and over, and OVER again. But there is something about their pure teenage love that is kind of cute, in the same way that teen love is cute in teen movies.
2. There could be more character development. Both of the main characters, Edward and Bella, are pretty flat--Edward is perfect and Bella is swoony. But they're not overly annoying. I will be interested to see if they're still not annoying in three books.
3. Meyer uses a number of elements from other vampire books--especially stuff from Anne Rice, that I thought was a nice homage. I love Rice's vampire books, and it was good to see a tribute here.
Overall, I thought Twilight was okay. I didn't love it, but it did keep me reading, and I've been known to put down bad books. I will likely read the other three books in the series, and I'm not a tween. This is good clean vampire fun--worth a read by vampire fans and young readers.
 I'm in love! November 21, 2008

I've seen a lot of negative comments about how this book/movie is a sappy horrible love story just for teens. I'm 23 years old and I am obsessed! Moreover, my friends, who are all the same age and older, are also obsessed! I was never really into vampire stories, but a friend suggested that I read Twilight a while back, and I did. It has changed my life haha. I now have a notion in my head that there will never be a real life man as amazing and sexy as the one and only Edward Cullen! I have a bf of 4 years and he knows he'll never live up to Edward and just rolls his eyes when I constantly talk about him =)
This book gives all women the opportunity to be endulged in a world about the perfect romance/true love. Let us be!
The entire series is great. I am going to see the movie tonight and I know it's going to be amazing.
AWESOME!
THE BEST STORY I'VE EVER READ November 21, 2008
I initially saw the trailer to the movie and heard it was based off of a novel. As I did with other movies, I bought the book so I can read it before the movie is released. I bought the book in Sept and didn't start reading until November. Once I started the story, I couldn't stop. I read one after the other non-stop. I even sped off the the store twice to pick up the next story/book in the saga. I ended up reading all four books in the Twilight Saga within a week. Once I finished them, I was still left wanting more of the story. It was a story I didn't want to end. I do hope that the author will decide to pick up where she left off and continue the story in some way. I recommend this book as well as the complete series to everyone of all ages. THANK YOU STEPHENIE MEYER FOR THE BEST STORY I'VE EVER READ.
Awesome book! November 21, 2008

I love, love, love this book! I finished it within 3 days and longed for more. I am almost done with the second book New Moon and already I can't wait to get the third installment Eclipse and then of course Breaking Dawn. I just came back from seeing the movie. Although the movie was good, there is no doubt the book is better because it goes into greater detail. This saga is such a page turner, exciting, romantic and a great read overall. Wow!
