Amazon.com Review
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.

 Amazing November 19, 2008
Stephanie Meyers is a grand author. Her books are absolutely absorbing and completely thrilling. A wonderful book to read. Alice Cullen is the best!
 Romance novel for teenagers (with vampires) November 19, 2008
I picked this up due to the amount of hype and hubbub about the series. I was hoping to find another series I could (ahem) sink my teeth into. I had previously read "The Host" by the same author, and enjoyed it, so I thought this would somewhat the same. Unfortunately, I was disappointed.
All of the characters are two-dimensional. Bella shows some promise at the beginning, but quickly falls off into infatuation -- the only thing she thinks about is Edward. And I thought she was supposed to be an "outcast," what with the not fitting in comments, etc. But she seems to have fit in right away without even any effort.
The text is repetitive, to say the least. The book could have been half as long if Meyer had limited herself in the number of times she told us that Edward was cold, and beautiful, and perfect in every way. Oh, and how many times do we need to hear about Bella's scent? Speaking of perfection -- every time Bella calls him "perfect" or says "he can do anything," his family laughs. But we never get to see why. I know the book is in first person, from Bella's POV, but still...it is possible to present something that the reader can understand while the character doesn't, even in first person.
In truth, this is a romance novel with vampires, for teenagers. Three-quarters of the book is about these obsessive feelings they have for each other, which came from a "love at first sight" (or maybe smell) event, rather than developing true feelings for each other. There's no real antagonistic presence until the last hundred pages or so, when some reasonable action develops.
Unlikely I will read the rest of the books, or go see the movie. But if you enjoy romance novels, particularly paranormal or teenage romance, then this book will be right up your alley.
Great Read!! November 19, 2008
Was full of intrigue .. I liked the way the author developed the characters .. I am thoroughly looking forward to the rest of the series ... and Can't wait for the movie and hoping they are as good as the book ... we shall see ..
Amazing love story..... November 19, 2008
All i can say is wow. I wasn't sure about reading this book because it is in the "young adult" section and I am 24 (some people have told me I need to grow up with my book selection). I absolutly fell in love with this book, from the moment I opened it!! I was so consumed that it only took me 2 days to read. Even though I am already married, I would marry Edward, he is perfect.... Alot of the bad reviews said that Bella was almost pathetic, she was so consumed by edward. I feel the love that they shared was amazing and almost made me envious..I can't wait to dive into the next book (compliments of Amazon.com) I am excited for the movie to arrive @ my local movie theater. The cast looks like it was chosen perfectly, and i can't wait to see it!!!!!

I read the entire Twilight series after fans kept telling me that my song "Edward" reminded them of the book(s). I think "Twilight" is a fun, subtly sexy read. And Edward is indeed a lovable character! If you agree, you might enjoy my song too, so hopefully you'll check it out ;o)
