Reader reviewed by Blair

I COMPLETLEY AGREE!
this is my favorite book in the whole world!! i thought i was gonna be scary but it was just.. romantic and like u said beautiful it also had action soo it kept it exciting. I recommend it to others 24/7. There is also a 2nd one called New moon if u read that but i thought it was good not even close to as good as twilight though. But u should read new moon. it kinda concludes it! the 2nd book was sad... i was extremely mad at edward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  this book was so captivating i was in love with edward from the very beggining.I didn't understand why he could be so hatefull at first the i was like OH! NOW I GET IT!.But Stephenie Meyer has and incredible imagination and creative mind.The way the charcters jump out of the page and seem so real is amazing. I loved how protective Edward was of Bella.I think that anyone who has read Twilight is in love one way or the other.Whether its with Jacob or Edward Stephenie did and AMAZING job.


I cannot get enough of this seires i read it over and over i think that soon imgoing to have to get a new set of books :)

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!

Twilight is the best book I have read. When my dad would turnoff the light at night I would get the book out and read it trough the moonlight. I wouldnt stop still I was tired and it would usually be 3, time past so fast reading this book.
I cant wait to get the other two books.

Recently, I read Stephenie Meyer's book "Twilight." I didn't think I would like it by the description but bought it anyway due to a friends persistance. I was, truthfully, surprised when I realized I couldn't but the book down.

The storyline details the development of a relationship between a dangerous vampire and a teenage girl, Bella (short for Isabella, 17). The first "sceen," so to speak, is a frightening situation of Bella about to be killed. Then begins the history: Bella's parents are divorced and she has decided to move from Pheonix with her mother,and new husband, to Forks, Washington with her police cheif father. Neither parent understands the change but must learn to accept it. On her first day of school she is quickly accepted by the locals and beegins to feel good in a new setting. But, on that very same day, she discovers that she is drawn to a certain boy, Edward Cullen, at her high school, and that, for no apparent reason, he seems to despise her. She learns from her classmates that Edward and his family are all adopted and are the school misfits, never appearing to fit in. Still, she has some attraction to Edward and is excited when she finds herself paired with him in biology and yet dismayed when he avoids her. She begins noticing him and his strange behavior (he doesn't come to school on the rare sunny days, he avoids her, clenches his jaw when he's around her, and many other little and big things). Others boys try to catch her attention but she turns them down. She beigins developing theories about his strange behavior such as, he is a super hero or has been infected by something. Eventually she comes up with the theory that he is a vampire. During this time, Edward begins talking to her, picking her up, and hanging out. It is eventually revealed, when Edward has just rescued her from peril, that he is a vampire and can read everyones mind except her's. He also reveals that he cannot read her, is attracted to the sent of her blood and has a hard time resisting killing her, is in love with her, his whole adopted family are vampires, vampires don't eat food, but eat animals and people, and he has been missing school on sunny days because he sparkles in the sunlight. Amazingly, to Edward and Bella's surprise, Bella is not scared of him and that puts them in a dangerous situation. The remaining part of the story details the relationship as it grows and a dangerous and almost deadly situation Bella is caught in with some other vampires. Edward loves her and protects her and everything turns out well, except for quite a few injuries. The other turn off, for Edward, is that Bella wants to become a vampire like him, so they may be together. With this the story ends in, Edward escorting Bella to the Prom and explaining that he wants their relationship to be as human as possible. The relationship will continue in the next book in the series, New Moon.

I found this book to be extremely romantic and yet easy to relate to, as a teenager. The tension between Edward and Bella as they struggle against nature is magnetic. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and feel that it reveals a lot about the teenage psyche. I will most certainly read the next book in this series.

Isabella Swan moves to a small town called Forks to live with her dad. She becomes attracted to an outsider, Edward Cullen. Something about his strange nature attracts Bella. When she delves deeper, she discovers that he is a vampire. But that doesn't scare her away. Edward tries to distance himself away from her, but that doesn't work. But when another predator comes to Forks, Bella's life is in danger and it's up to Edward and his family to save her.

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 definately read them. This book rocks!

When Bella Swan moves to Forks, she doesn't have high expectations. She's never related well to people, and Forks is so small that everyone knows everyone already. But when she starts school she attracts many friends-- boys and girls alike, including the one boy who has never dated anyone at Forks High School-- until now.

Edward tells Bella straight off that she should stay away from him, but she is far to infatuated to listen. Even when she discovers that he, and his family, are vampires, she continues their connection. But as their relationship, and love, blossoms, Bella realizes that she is not merely endangering herself, as Edward warned her, but everyone close to her.

This is without a doubt one of the most romantic, suspenseful, and moving books I have ever read. No matter what your age or favorite genre is, Twilight has something that will attract all readers, and pull them into a world of passion and excitement that they will never want to leave.
