Twilight (Twilight #1)

Reader reviewed by Dede

This is Bella and Edwards story and it is intense and drags you in almost from the start. Bella notices Edward when she moves from her mom's home in "Sunnyville" to her dads home in Forks. She has always been miserable in Forks, it's wet and rainy. The move seems to be based on her moms unsteadiness and her moms new husband. Bella is pretty much entranced with Edward before she even realizes it and she finds herself wondering about him and her brothers and sisters, who all keep very much to themselves. Much to Bella, and every other kid in school's, surprise, Edward takes an interest in Bella and they become close. Close enough for Edward to be honest with Bella about who he is. What follows is an intense love song/story that makes you yearn for it yourself, almost... The obstacles presented between a human and vampire are believable and not written in a tacky way. Edward is very protective of Bella, even from himself and it is sweet in a dangerous sort of way. Very memorable characters and very memorable story. Both Edward and Bella have to give a little of themselves to the other side to be with eachother, and it's an amazing thing to give and receive.

This has got to be one of the best vampire/romance novels in existense. And I read a lot. I got the book thinking that I'd like it, maybe even love it. It did not occur to me that I would become hopelessly obsessed with it after reading. The Twilight Saga is fantastic; words cannot describe just how much. Stephenie Meyer's "vampire" is unique, and so is this story.

Bella Swan moves to Forks, Washington with her father, where she meets a mysterious and you guessed it vampire named Edward Cullen. This story is full of romance, humor, and tragedy. You will laugh and you will cry, and most of all if you're anything like me and a billion other people, you will become addicted.

My daughter (16 years old) is an avid reader and was hooked on Stephanie Meyer the instant she read "Twilight." She kept wanting me to read it, but I just never found the time.
Now, many of my 7th grade girls are reading it so I figured it was about time for me to read it too. I must say that I'm pleasantly surprised by this book.
It is basically a love story and one of the main characters is a vampire, but there are so many parts of the book that young adults can relate to. The characters deal with peer pressure, falling in love, trying to be accepted by others, etc.
My school library chooses not to carry this book, but I think I will put it in my classroom library very soon!

This is a funny, romantic, and adventurous book! I think that this one is the best in the series so far. It's really an amazing book! If you haven't read it yet, READ IT! Bella and Edward are a great couple. It's amzing what someone might do just for love. I think I would want to be a vampire, I would definately be a vegetarian. I would be great to be that strong and run that fast! Although not sleepong and thirsting for human blood would be a drag.

This book is truly amazing. The beginning is a bit uneventful but if you find it boring, don't put it down at first. Stephenie Meyer ties in both fantasy and real life in this book, so there's is a good part of both realistic fiction and fantasy.

You may be thinking vampires are evil monsters that suck people's blood out and only come out at night but once you read this you will love it!

Bella Swan is the main character, who is clumsy and seems to attract trouble like a magnet. She comes to the town of Forks to live with her father and meets the Cullens. They are a group of vampires who, in an attempt to be more humane, stopped drinking human blood and instead only animals (because even humans eat meat). She falls in love with Edward Cullen, who has the same feelings for her. However, soon a group of vampires who DO drink human blood come into the area... and Bella's blood is very appealing to them....

In a four part series, 'Twilight' is the first of Stephenie Meyer's wonderful creation. The book came to Stephenie in a dream she had one night. Soon after, there lay the complicated love story between a vampire and human. Each detailed chapter of the book is a different dream from a different night. Stephenie would wake up of a morning and take notes on the latest addition of the never-ending story. After she had found the main plot of her novel she wrote it as a book and soon after it was published.

Teenagers and yound-adults alike all over the world sit and read 'Twilight' and are moved by the compelling characters and the great storyline that Stephenie's imagination has created. Althought the vampire theory sounds childish and fairytale like, the romantic side completes its maturity and encourages you to read more. Along with Stephenie Meyer's great writing skills and the fabulous moving of the characters as they go along their journey, 'Twilight' is definately on the list to be an enticing, well-known story like Romeo and Juliet or Cinderella. Even after finishing the book the story continues to stay with you in both your heart and mind. In my opinion the book has started a new revolution of stories to come alive an that the book series will always have someon in it's reach.
