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.

Twilight November 22, 2008
This book is very interesting and it hooks you and grabs you and makes you want to read the next in the series. A very fun read and I am so glad I have 3 more to read. The only down side was in the beginning...I thought Bella was way too angry a teenager...but heck it has been so long since my girls were teenagers, maybe that is the way they are these days...

An Insult to Literature November 22, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful

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
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

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!
