This book is litteraly the most amazing book I have ever read. The sequals to it are just amazing by the way. At first, I thought that I wouldn't want to read it because it had vampires in it. And Vampires are not really my taste. But this was an exception. I fell in love with this book.

I made all of my friends read it, and now they are in love also. I strongly encourage you to read this book. It's amazing and it warms my heart. I squeal when I hear/see the name Bella, Edward, Emmett, or Alice.

I'm sure that I'm not writing something that you've already heard, but this book changed my life. I have always love to read, but nothing touched me like this book. It was AMAZING. And, the way that Stephenie writes, you feel like you're in the book watching all of this happen. Like you're there. This book has everything, from suspence to love to hate. I will have to warn you though, this book is engrossing. I finished it in one day. This is one of the ones that I had to know what was next for Edward and Bella.

And to be honest, I have NEVER read a vampire book. I picked this up on a whim and WOW. I was blown away. I had no idea that vampires could be this amazing. So, if the only thing that is stopping you is the whole vampire thing, then , GET OVER IT AND GRAB THIS BOOK! You will not be sorry, I PROMISE!!

One of the most talked about books today, Stephenie Meyers Twilight follows the life of Isabella Swan. After her relocation from sunny Phoenix, Arizona to rainy Forks, Washington, she doesnt expect much. Until she meets Edward Cullen. She finds herself oddly attracted to him, even though she knows that there is some part of him, a part that she didnt know how strongly it controlled him, that thirsted for her blood. But it doesnt matter that she knows. Shes already gotten herself into much deeper trouble than she thinks.
There is much hype surrounding this book. But is it justified? Some say it is, some say it isnt. I personally believe that this particular book is good only if youre into vampire novels and/or girl books. I must admit, I myself, am a big partaker of vampire novels, so I found it hard to put this book down. However, some things that might make you otherwise overlook this book are Isabellas Mary-Suelike qualities, Edwards Gary-Stulike qualities, and the lack of a good moral theme.
Isabellas name literally translates into "Beautiful Swan," so as you can guess, she is obviously going to be given special treatment from the other characters of the book, and she is. Edward is your stereotypical vampire: gorgeous, stunning, and mysterious. Nothing much else to say. And this book literally screams, "Ladies, your life is nothing without a man. Nothing!" There doesnt seem to be any other purpose for this book nor does it look like Stephenie is trying to get some sort of message across to her readers.
All in all, this book is best read as a guilty pleasure, not one to really make you think or say, "Wow!"

The book Twilight by Stephanie Meyer was amazing. It has an original plot line and fresh new idea unlike any book I have ever read. It starts out with a girl named Bella who goes to live with her father. Then she sees Edward Cullen a very mysterious and cute boy who she soon becomes interested in. They eventually Bella falls deeply in love with Edward, and still loves him long after finding out hes really a vampire. Even though Edward loves him some problems occur due to the fact that Edward is a vampire, and well they like blood. This is just a great love story. Its the first of three books but youll become immediately hooked from the second you pick it up. Its very well written, easy to read and understand. Its an extremely unique book and there is nothing like it out there. I read the first book in like three day it was so good and then begged my mother to buy me the second one. Even though the beginning is a tiny bit slow it picks up extremely fast and always keeps you interested. Its action packed, and very entertaining. Bella is a lifelike character who a lot of girls can relate to and who can pass up a great love story. Twilight will leave you on the edge of your seat and reading more then you ever thought you would. Twilight by Stephanie Meyer is a profound book I think is great for people of all ages.

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.

I loved this book. Very engaging and grabs you from the start. Well written, and you just fall in love with the characters. You can't put it down once you start. Very good!!! About a girl who falls in love with a vampire and how her life is turned upside down by the challenges this creates.

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."
