Twilight (Twilight #1)

Reader reviewed by Lilli Partyka

Bella Swan seems to have it all. Though she is a clumsy new student, she attends a good school, has good friends, is liked, attractive, and has an awesome boyfriend.

Did I mention he's dead, though?

That's right. Meet Edward Cullen. One of the "children" in the Cullen clan, Edward Cullen is alarmingly attractive. He radiates an aura of sex-appeal, ferocity, nervousness, and charm. He is a catch, and Bella happened to catch him, fangs and all.

Despite originally believing he hated her, Bella grows to understand that the feelings Edward has for her are intense, and can possibly endanger her life. He is a vampire, after all, and because Edward finds her "alluring scent" so attractive, it is often hard for him to restrain his want of attacking her.

Ultimately they manage, and fall deeper in deeper in love, with Bella growing closer to all the members of the Cullen clan in turn.

Things take a drastic turn, however, when a vampire coven comes in and sets their sight on Bella.

Edward, fearing the loss of the one he loves most, must act, and act quickly. He must make a decision to save a life, but..at what cost?

Riveting, absorbing, and utterly intriguing, "Twilight" is one of the best reads a person can possibly experience.

This is one of the most fantastic series that I have read yet! I usually hate stories that have vampires in it, but the way that Stephanie Meyer writesmakes me forget all about the hatred I have for vampires. The love that she writes about makes me want to jump into the book and become Bella and I think that anyone who reads this and the rest of the books in the series will feel the same way.

I couldn't stand to put it down once I started. I read this book in one sitting. It's the love story between a vampire and a human, and the love feels so real, it's hard to imagine it's just a book. The main character, Bella Swan, is instantly likeable, and it's impossible not to empathize with the new couple as their relationship starts to bud. The vampire, Edward Cullen, is captivating with his extraordinary beauty, ancient genteelness, and ability to read minds. But just when the tension eases and it seems like things are going to work out for them, disaster strikes. The book was so much more than I expected; the love feels so real, and at its heart, it's more a love story between two beings than anything else. Of course, because one of them is a vampire, there's a bit of hunting and quite a lot of action as well. This was a thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable book,I recommend it completely."

Twilight is the story of Bella Swan. Bella moves to the small town of Forks to life with her Father, Charlie. She meets a gorgeous guy, and soon finds out he is a vampire. He warns her that she is in danger, but she loves him too much to stay away.

I LOVED this book. I thought the idea of vampires was so ridiculous that I almost didn't read it. I don't remember what made me read it, but I'm so happy I did. It's romantic, action packed, and amazing. I couldn't put it down.

Twilight tells the epic love story of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. Cliche, however, it is not.

You see, Edward is a vampire.

Immediately upon meeting, the two begin to fall in love, avoiding the horrible realization that Edward is the animal and Bella should be the prey. His thirst for her blood and his love for her soul constantly battle each other to be dominant. What happens?

Meyer's personality shines through in her writing style, and the next two books in the saga are both wonderful. A worth while read even for those who, like me, have never enjoyed stories about vampires or anything supernatural. Also, perfect for the hopeless romantic.

This ia a fairytail with a morden twist to it. This is probably one of the first really iminagitive series i've read in a long time. personlly i love this book. It's great that this book was able to be published. I mean after the end of the Harry Ptter series it's great to see something come out that's on pretty much the same level of fame of Harry,Ron,Hermione,and Voldemort.

I personlly can't wait till August when Breaking Dawn is realeased it will probably as busy as the day Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows came out mabye ever bigger.Who knows only time will tell. I do know one thing. Ican't wait till The Host comes out.

Her blood in irisistable to him and he doesnt want to do anything harmful to her. Edward finds himself not being able to go away from Bella and falling in love with her.

This book, has always been one of my favorites. I love how I can really imagine Edward (one of the main characters.) Her descriptions are done beautifully:) This is my favorite of the series, and would recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy and who enjoys a good read. It is a long book, but it goes by really fast. Wonderful!

I read Twilight because all my friends were saying how good it was, and when i finshed this book, i immediatly wanted to read the next one. Infact, i like this series so much that i used Eclipse (book 3) for an english assignment. By now, i think all the girls in my grade have read and re-read it, myself included.

Bella is the new girl in town. Everyone seems to be very welcoming, except for a boy in her chemistry class, Edward, but strangely enough, Bella is fasinated by this pale, perfect boy. As she tried to find out more about Edward and his family, she discovers a secret that might be better left unknown.

Twilight is the love story between a klutzy but normal girl and her vampire boyfriend.

It sounds lame and way out there, but the story is just amazing. I can relate to the main character Bella a lot because I'm really klutzy. Stephenie Meyer's writing is just...beyond words. Her writing really speaks to me.

My friend recommended this book to me even though I have no interests in vampires. This book has so many different aspects in it: romance, mystery, adventure, drama, etc.

Twilight is the book for anyone. My guy friends even love this book as much as I do! That says something about this book.
