my favourite part in the book has got to be at the start when bella and edward first meet in the biology class its so good. it was also funny when he was avoiding her in the cafeteria too.

Twilight is a one of a kind book. The main character, Bella, moves to the small town Forks to live with her father. At first, Bella doesnt expect to like it in boring Forks, where it rains too much, its way too green, and everyone knows everyone. But she soon finds herself intrigued by a very unusual family, especially their son Edward Cullen, who she has biology class with. Strange occurrences bring Edward and Bella together, and they immediately feel a connection. However, as much as Bella and Edward love each other, their relationship is far from simple. Because Edward Cullen is a vampire and is thirsty for Bellas blood.

Stephenie Meyers writing is amazing. I was enthralled by the book within the first few pages and could not put it down. She writes the most beautiful descriptions without ever becoming boring. The romance in her book is perfect, it never gets to the point where its cheesy. Twilight is an unforgettable book that everyone should have sitting on their bookshelf.

I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH! This is such a good book. It's the best book written so far. It's about a girl, Bella Swan, who falls in love with Edward. Only there's one problem...he's a vampire. There's also a boy named Jacob who no doubt likes Bella. Everything is ok, until some other vampires come to visit Edward and his family. Unlike edward's family, the others hunt humans. One of the vampires, James, comes after Bella, and edward defends her. james is competitive so he immediately decides to hunt her. All of edward's family try to help Bella. This book is great, and you will not be able to put it down. I HIGHLY recommend his book.

Bella Swan is an interesting girl. She moved to a town she hates to give her mother and new stepdad some space; she denies not one, not two but THREE boys when asked to go to the school dance; and her life is saved on a regular basis by a "vegetarian" vampire.

Not exactly a wallflower, if you catch my drift.

Bella first spots Edward and his family in the lunchroom on her first day at her new school in Forks, Washington, one of the rainiest towns in the country. The Cullens are considered outcasts at school, even though every last one of them is breathtakingly beautiful. Dark rings under their eyes and pale skin set them apart just as well as their generally unsocial moods do. But Bella is curious...

What is it about Edward that makes him so wary around Bella? Where do his sudden rage/curiosity flashes come from? And will Bella decide he's worth it when she finally finds out?

I was cautious at first when introduced to this book because the cover and general vampire theme threw me off its scent, so to speak. But as soon as I got into it, I couldn't stop, finishing the book in a little over 24 hours. Take my advice, just read it already!

When Bella Swan comes to Forks, Washington - a small town where it almost always is cloudy, she finds much more exciting things than she had ever thought she would.

Bella has come to live with her father, Charlie, in the town that she practically hates. She wants to do something for her mother, so she moves here. She doesn't seem to fit in seamlessly with the other students at Forks High school - though she does make a few friends. She notices a group of pale, but beautiful students sitting at their own table, away from everyone else. They are the Cullens, a family of children adopted by Doctor Carlisle Cullen. In biology she is forced to sit next to the bronze haired Cullen. She notices right away that he sits far away from her, at the very edge of the table. The next day when she is back in biology, the bronze haired boy does a strange thing: he introduces himself. Bella doesn't know if he hates her or not, but she is curious about this boy. She notices he is different. Eventually she finds out that he is a vampire. But this does not scare her, as most girls probably would be. She knows she is in love with Edward Cullen, and that is all that matters to her. When Bella spends an evening with the Cullens, the worst happens. Out-of-town vampires show up and they smell Bella, and know she isn't a vampire. One of them is a tracker, and he wants one thing: Bella. Bella is forced to leave town with two of the Cullen children, Alice and Jasper. But leaving doesn't quite keep her safe. In her hometown of Phoenix, she runs into the tracker, James, who almost kills her. But just in time, Edward saves her - making their love stronger than ever.

This book was a great read. It was exciting and had a bit of adventure, which made it a book I couldn't put down, as many others who are now fans of the series. I liked it very much because it was an original idea. I liked how the character's names weren't very popular, and how Stephenie Meyer wrote it. I would recommend this book to any teen who loves to read - and loves a good story.

Bella Swan hates Forks Washington. But when her mom gets remarried and wants to travel around with her new baseball playing husband Bella decides to let her mom have fun and move in with her dad in the small rainy town. She pretty much thinks she signing her life away, new people, no sun, too much green, and gym all four years of high school (gasp!), until she sees the five hauntingly beautiful members of the Cullen family. But the most beautiful, Edward, appears to hate her instantly. Bella wonders what she could have possibly done to offend him as they continue to avoid each other. But when Bella almost turns into road kill and Edward saves her life under impossible circumstances she realizes the truth. Edwards not human.

I am absolutely, possitively, 100% in love with this book :-). The story draws you in from the first word, and it doesnt let your attention slip until the very last word. Then youre immediately thirsty for more! I've never read a book with more well developed characters, or one so descriptive in the least amount of words. Come on, you know the books, that go on forever describing one little event? This isnt one of them. Most people snub their noses at this book as I try to explain it to them. They act so interested but the second I mention the word vampire they turn away so fast Im surprised they can still keep their balance :-p. It's not about the vampires. It's about the inevitability (Spelled right?) of their love. Very Romeo and Juliet. The love story is the best part of the book and its so incredibly sweet, you'll immediately go out in search of your own romantic vampire boyfriend! This is by far a novel to challenge JK Rowling!

I love twilight. it is such an amazing story. i really love all the characters. The story plot was awesome and I think that it was beautifully written.

Edward is the most sweetest guy in the face of the earth and I love him for being so sweet to bella. This book is one you can't put down for sure. Once you start reading it, you will not be able to put it down. That's how great it is. I would actually re-read it over and over again if I had my own copy of the book.

Again, absolutley unforgettable!!! The way that Stephanie Meyer writes is the exact way that I think anybody who wants to become a successful author should write! I love the way that she draws you into the pages of the book and how she makes the characters so real and the story seem real, too. I found myself not putting down the book ever, it was like it was glued to my hands! I finished the book in two days time because i sould.nt put it down and i found myself having a humungous crush on Edward Cullen and being drawn into the action and feeling as if i were right there in the book! way to go Ms. Meyers! I look foward to New Moon!!!

My friend recommended me this book and i was a little reluctant at first because vampires sounded a little tacky and i kept seeing Dracula. But I'm a sucker for romance and this book had everything in it. It had action, mystery and even had a few jokes thrown in there. Every girl secretly hopes for a romance adventure and a guy like Edward Cullen. The whole deal with the vampires is very believable. I totally tell you that you should read it!
