Twilight (Twilight #1)

Reader reviewed by Em

This book is where Isabella Swan comes to the small town of Forks to live with her father, Charlie. There she falls for Edward, a hot mysterious boy. As she tries to figure out his secret she gets into trouble, that he saves her from of course. After finding out he is a vampire and that she doesn't care. They two fall in love and shows the joys of young love.

This was a book that I couldn't put down until I was finished with it. Meyers is a good writer, not as good as J. K. Rowling (my favorite) but she has a good book here.

The series has a promising start and I would recommend it to everyone who wants a good book. This is for anyone from grade five and up. Young kids can read it but you would get more out of it if you were like Junior High.

Twilight was really one of the best books I've read in a while. This book was really addicting and once I started it, I couldn't put it down. Edward really seemed like the perfect guy. I loved everything about this book and I hope Stephenie Meyer writes more books because i would love to see what heppens to bella and edward and the baby

This book catches the reader instantly and promises not to lose you before you've finished reading it. I found nothing wrong with this book! Bella's point of view is told in a way that the reader can project themself upon it and therefore be taken on her journey and truly feel her emotions too. Edward is the perfect boyfriend and it'll be hard to get him out of your mind for weeks after you've read Twilight! This book is funny, sweet, and full of action and gives vampires an interesting twist.

So I'll probably be burned alive by angry teenaged fangirls for this review.

But really, where they see sparkling romance, hot guys, and true love? I see Bella, a girl with low self-esteem issues and a poor family life. She meets Edward, who becomes her obsessive, controlling, overprotective boyfriend. Oh yeah, and he wants to eat her.

Bella's life begins to revolve around her boyfriend to the point where she neglects every other social activity and what's left of her family life to... what, exactly? Sit and stare at Edward, since this is a "clean" novel? I'm not sure. But it's creepy anyways.

The premise and plot are lousy; the writing style is worse. Stephanie Meyer spends whole chapters merely rhapsodizing about Edward's beauty. Please, please, please don't buy this book.

Twilight is the best book Ive ever read. Its romance, adventure, fantasy, and horror all wrapped up into one book. (or four if you've read all of them.) Bella Swan moves to gloomy Forks in hopes of getting closer to her father. While in Forks she meets the mysterious and sexy Edward Cullen, but in their first meeting he seems to be appalled by her...which really just turns out to be him resisting his blood-lust for her.

They fall in love and its obvious they shouldnt be in love, because in fact Edward is a vampire and he could kill Bella. Even though they are both different species they still cant help being in love and it leads them on a roller coaster of adventure and danger.

Twilight is the best vampire book I have ever read. It brought me to tears at some points, but Stephanie Meyer definitely is one of the greatest writers of the decade.

What a wonderful debut for a writer with an interesting dream in hand! Based on a dream she had before her sons learned to swim, Stephenie Meyer dreamed of a vampire with a mortal girl whose blood he thirsted for. Inspired, she wrote a novel in which a girl named Bella moves in with her father. New town means new school. On the first day, she is attracted to a unusual looking boy who lives with a sister and cousins as well as an aunt and uncled. Although Edward tries to avoid her, what would turn into passionate romance turns into life threatening battles.....Read this outstanding book to figure out what happens to Bella and Edward.

In Twilight, Meyer shows young adult readers everywhere the essence of fantasy. Set in a small town called Forks, Meyer fills the readers mind with first love, everyday challenges, responsibility, and of course supernatural creatures.

The captivating novel shows battle between blood and lust for Edward Cullen, on of the town's few vampire citizens, who lusts after Isabella *Bella* Swan from the moment he laid eyes on her...or just by reading the thoughts about her in his classmates minds.

Bella, a average female, is the new Kid at Fork's highschool, causing embarrassment and awkwardness towards her classmates, but she soon becomes mesmerized by the mysterious Edward Cullen who shows hatred at first but then teaches Bella what it is like to love.

Twilight is the story of Edward and Bellas romance.
It is a very unique book, you cannot stop reading it and the characters feel so real that you think they are real. The book is told from Bella's point of view and so Edward and his family mystery that will be unraveled throughout the end of book and trust me the Cullen's world is fantastic. Forget any other vampire story you have read Twilight is very, very unique and you will always be thirsty for more!

This book was one of the best books I have read in quite a long time. Filled with a wonderous love story, this novel captures the young mind and shows how love can be extremly strong. Alice stole the show for me in the novel with her way of making Bella feel at ease; this novel is the perfect example of good friendships and strong love. :D

Twilight is the best book I've read in a LONG time!!! I only started to read the book because I had a report to do on it for English, but when I opened the book and started to read; I couldn't stop!!
Twilight starts as Bella, (the main character) moves to Forks to live with her dad. She starts a new school, meets tons of new people, yet it's not enough. The beautiful, flawless Edward Collins is the one she can't keep her eyes off of.
Bella's a clumsy one, and Edward always seems to be right there; at the right time. As time passes on, Bella falls in love with Edward, soon after finding out he's a vampire. Though Bella knows being with Edward is a danger, she doesn't care. Things seem to be perfect, but as we all know, perfection doesn't last a lifetime.
