Twilight (Twilight #1)

Reader reviewed by Ellery

Twilight is about a girl who is very clumsy for being a police chief's daughter.  She moves to Forks to live with her father and meets a family of vampires.   Bella meets Edward, one of this family, at school and learns about his  human life and vampire life.   Edward tells her a little bit of Alice's life but no one knows what really happened in her human life or the reason why James, a vampire tracker from another group, is after her.  Jasper, Alice, and Emmett kill James, who was trying to turn Bella into a vampire.  They lie to Bella's mother and father about what really happened.  Bella tells her mother that she wants to live in Forks, not Arizona. She and Edward are in love.  Bella wants to become a vampire, but Edward refuses this request.  Towards the end, Alice tries to kill Bella again by making her wear stilettos to prom.

This is the series that got me back into reading. This is the best vampire romance i've ever read. I love Edward, and every other character dearly, accept Rosalie. She is just mean. But it is getting old. Not everything has to be about Twilight. There are other great books out there. Not just that one. I think girls are taking it to far-and i was one of them. But not anymore. It's just olda nd annoying.

Many of you readers will probably disagree with me but i personally and honestly think that this book was horrible. Its about a 17 year old girl named Bella who moves to the small town of Forks. She meets, well sees, a boy named Edward who's a vampire and falls in love with him before they even really get to know eachother. I didn't like this book because Bella comes off as a whiny, spoiled teenager who wants everything. She is constantly complaining about how ugly she is and how she doesn't like life. Also throughout the book, Edward takes advantage of Bella and doesn't allow her to make her own decisions. In my opinion this book is very cliche, and anti-feminist. Bella is a total Mary-sue. Maybe im being to hard but thats what i think. I wouldn't want to read this book again. But i think everyone should try reading a book before judging it. So go ahead and get a copy. :)

!!!!! I never wanted this book to end! i wish that stephanie would have made this series last forever. i dont know how her version of a vampire love story became such a hit among teens and tweens but she made an awesome set of characters and made you want to read about them forever. she must be living large right now because her books were freaking fantastic!!

Stephanie Meyer's first installment in her Twilight series is a quick and easy read.  The plotline of vampires, high school, and love draw in readers easily. While the novel's plot is intriguing and interesting, the character development is wanting.  All in all, the book is the literary equivalent of a Twinky: sugary, sweet, but ultimately insubstantial.  After finishing the book in only a day, I was left wanting something more, something deeper.  Suspended disbelief is required throughout almost the entire belief not in the aspect of vampires and werewolves, but rather in the characters' actions themselves, as Bella and Edward fall in love in what seems an instant, and what seems more as an infatuation rather than a strong bond of love.

this book is the book that started my craze with the supernatural. it captured my intrest right from the begining and kept me interested even after i read the book eight times. it is my most treasured book in my little library, and if i had my way would be kept in a glass case. i love this book and will treasure it when i am old and wrinkled.

This was the first book i ever read by this author i bought it beacuse of all the hype about the movie that came out recently. Love the whole book. I used to live near forks Washington years ago so I know the area. I was able visualize the whole thing. Bell was the first to grab me i know what is like to be the new kid tryoing to fit in to a childhood place you visted as a teen age. I was so torn beween wanting her to be with Edward and being with Jacob. the book had me all the way though a most read for anyone who loves stories about vampires and love stories this one has it all love suspense and a good cry. Even the boys love it they can imaginae what it would be like to be Edward and Edwar is so sesitive it oulls you right in.

This book had it's ups and downs. "Twilight" had many many many grammatical errors, like Meyer constantly confusing which tense she writes in. However, since it was written for teenagers, I will forgive this.

Meyer's plot was quite interesting, though predictable. She kept you intrigued, after the first few boring chapters.

I felt like there was more hype over the book than there should have been. But, all well, it was decent.
