I started reading YA Paranormal Romance with these amazing series. I
mean, who doesnt know Twilight? I started reading the first book, and
I fell in love with the story, the characters, the plot& and Edward! I
literally read the first three books, in less than a week. But& Im
really sorry to say this; I didnt like the last book, Braking Dawn. Was strange. I
was so disappointing& I mean, it's not a bad book, but I was waiting
too much from it.

Even so, I highly recommend this series.

    Twilight is an awesome book that you will want to read again and again! it is the kind of book that you get sucked into, and never want to stop! once you pick it up, you will never want to stop, you will dread every minute your not reading it. You are always wondering what will happen next. Plus it has enough romance for girls, and enough action and weirdness for guys!

I love Twilight (The whole series but mostly Twilight!) because I just have a THING for vampires: They are hot, strong, fast, and some have cool talents. I llike any books that are about `mythical' creatures because I KNOW they are all out there somewhere, they are just hiding good. Vampires paired with a a girl that is clumsy and throw romance and mystery and action into it, that makes a good book. I like the first book in this series the most because it is all new and you don't know what this interesting hot guy IS. And then when the romance starts, it is all new and they haven't been together long so it is interesting to see the way it plays out. There are a lot of Twilight Haters out there but I think that most of them didn't even give the series a chance because of the popularity of it. Haters or not, I love this book and would reccemend it to ANYONE, even Twilight Haters.

P.S. I didn't mean to put this same review on another book with the same title, I wasn't sure which was which. So please excuse that mistake. This is the book I wanted it on. (I think!)

Seventeen year old Bella Swan moves from Phoenix, Arizona to Forks, Washington to go and live with her police officer dad. At her first glimpse of Forks, she finds that everything is different. From it is raining always, to the grass is REALLY green, she finds that this is very different then Phoenix. When she goes to her new school, she finds that there is something weird about the Cullen family. They are pale white, they dont eat lunch, and nobody seems to be friends with them. Also they are all very attractive. When Bella finds out that that they are vampires, Bella is not scared. She has to go through many dangers to be with her vampire love, Edward Cullen. When danger is there in Forks, Bella must learn not to be too friendly with all creatures.

I really liked this book because it has vampires, but not really in a violent way.  Also, it shows that you can be friends with anybody, not matter how weird they seem. It is also a romance for those who like romance, so I would give it five stars. It also has a good motto for the book. It is: In everybody, there is a good person, so you can be good friends with anybody. (Even if that creature is a vampire! J)

You would like this book if you like romance. It has lots of romance. You would also like this book if you like some action. In the other books, there is more action, but this has plenty of action in it. You would also like this book if you like to read mythical stories, or stories that have creatures, or things, that arent real, and you would find them in scary stories.  Vampires are DEFINATLY mythical. I hope that if you read this book, you will love it as much as I do. Twilight  is a great book, that to me is a five star book.

This book is about a girl that has never been in love. And when she leave her mom, and home in phoenix, to stay with her middle-aged, divorced dad... she stumbles into love. But it isnt the type of love she has expected. when she finds out her first true love is a vampire, she decides to join him, in his vampire world, to be forever by his side. she is put through so much, bitten & tracked by "bad vamps" she still decides he is worth the pain. she is determined to keep his secret no matter what she has to go through.

I'm sure there are a million reviews already for the Twilight series, but it's too good to pass up on doing a review.  Bella is cute heroine, if a little whiny and hard to identify with.  Are there really teenagers out there as down to earth as Bella?  But she makes a nice girl for Edward.  Edward is the dreamiest of dreamies...he says the most perfect things, his actions toward Bella are amazing, especially for just meeting her, and of course - he is gorgeous!  The setting is perfect, a small town with a small high school and nice friends.  I really enjoyed Twilight, the first book in the series as well as Breaking Dawn, the final book.  The middle two, New Moon and Eclipse, involved a lot of fighting and battles - and a sulky Bella - which wasn't that interesting.

A typical teenage vampire lovestory...ha, is there such a thing?  I little too mushy for me, but I don't fit the expected age of the audience (well over 40)!  I did enjoy the action between the vamps and the weres, always finding new "stuff" vamps can and cannot do.  The book is worth the read, the movie...not so much!

I probably won't read it again

Millions of copies of this addictive series has been printed and presented to the public. It is a romantic novel that tells the story of two teenagers, one of which, is a vampire and how they overcame their differences to fall in love with each other. Bella, a junior is high school, that moved to live with her father in a small town in Washington called Forks, comes to know Edward, a perfect gentlemen but also a vampire. Edwards desire to drink her blood is quickly repressed by his unconditional love to her. It is a book filled with love and fantacy and is usually finished in a couple of sittings. It grabs the readers' attention and interest in such a way that leaves them thinking about it even after they finish it.

This "thrilling" tale of vampire romance captured the hearts of readers (or rather screaming girls) the world over. When Bella Swan moves to the town of perpetual rain, also known as Forks, Washington her life is suddenly changed. She falls unconditionally and irrevocably in love with Edward Cullen; a pale skinned, topaz eyed, 108 year old virgin vampire. After several strange encounters- one of which includes Edward stopping a van from crushing Bella (damn!) with his bare-albeit supernaturally strong- hands, our protagonist finally concludes that Edward Cullen may not be what he appears.

The events that follow are sure to shock and awe you, or at least intrigue you enough to read on, as Meyer takes you on a journey of sparkling vegetarian vampires, supernatural baseball and abnormally pale faces.

 While Stephenie Meyer may have been transformed from housewife to household name in a proverbial heartbeat, this reader remains unconvinced that her calibre of writing should or even can be compared to that of JK Rowling. Meyer lacks the intricate details and the masterfully woven plot lines that would place her in the upper echelon among authors.

 I found Twilight to be an entertaining read, but upon closer reading quickly tired of hearing Bella rambling on about Edward's grace and beauty in between tripping over her own feet.

 This book is mostly character driven which is what has inspired such an enthusiastic fandom. The novel is written in a simple prose-which may explain why so many people can read it and relate and the plot is predictable. Boy meets girl. Boy thirsts for girl's blood. Boy defends girls from murderous vampire.  Just the usual...

 So in the words of Edward's own personal brand of heroin (aka Bella- it's an inside joke, read the book) 'This is not the end but the beginning...' of the Twilight Saga and there are many more hysterical screams of fan girls to come.
