Product description

Synopsis
Seventeen-year-olds Bella Swan and Edward Cullen are enmeshed in an intense, hungry love that leaves them both destroyed, yet passionately longing for more. Bella's scent and very being excites Edward, a vampire who, along with his family, abstains from feasting on humans. After a difficult start, the two become inseparable, learning more and more about each other as the days pass, all the while knowing that with every thrilling moment might end with Bella's death. The beautiful, evergreen landscape of Washington state's Olympic Peninsula permeates this gripping, fast-paced drama as it torpedoes through the notions of family, relationships, and sacrificing everything imaginable for true love. Named one of Publishers Weekly's Best Children's Books of 2005 and a 2005 School Library Journal Best Book.

Publisher's Note
Bored with her new life in a rainy Washington town, Isabella Swan finds her situation transforming into one of thrills and terror when she becomes involved with alluring vampire Edward Cullen, who struggles to keep his identity a secret. Reprint. 100,000 first printing.

The #1 New York Times bestseller is available for the first time in a mass market paperback edition, featuring a striking movie tie-in cover.


Bella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Bella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Bella, the person Edward holds most dear.

Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.

When seventeen-year-old Bella leaves Phoenix to live with her father in Forks, Washington, she meets an exquisitely handsome boy at school for whom she feels an overwhelming attraction and who she comes to realize is not wholly human.

Industry Reviews
"Meyer adds an eerie new twist to the mismatched, star-crossed lovers theme: predator falls for prey, human falls for vampire. This tension strips away any pretense readers may have about the everyday teen romance novel, and kissing, touching, and talking take on an entirely new meaning when one small mistake could be life-threatening...Realistic, subtle, succinct, and easy to follow, TWILIGHT will have readers dying to sink their teeth into it."

Not just for Teens... Read it and you'll be sucked in!

Created: 24/09/08
I bought "Twilight" because when the t-shrits came out they sold out in a day and I was wondering what all the hype was about. I knew it was a movie coming out, but I had no idea it was first a series of books. So like always when I am curious I jumped right in.

I bought "Twilight" and less than 30 hours later (I did have to work LOL) I had finished. The entire time my nose was pressed into the book I had a smile on my face and sometimes I laughed out loud at the romantic tension and casual bantering between the main characters Edward Cullen (a "vegitarian" vampire) and Bella Swan (a girl wise beyond her years who takes care of her father). Although the books are geared to a younger "high school" audience the romance between the characters is all VERY clean. When she realizes what he and his "family" are, although she doesn't fear him in the least, her life is suddenly in danger from a pack of nomad vampires.

For parents I'd like to note although it is in its sence a "romance" it is I think, well written and not at all vulgur ("above the neck romance" I heard it described in an article). It is also good to realise that it is books like this series and the Harry Potter series that have gotten teens once again interested in reading which I think makes them noteworthy in themselves.

Since buying and reading the series I've convinced 5 friends to read it (male and female) between the ages of 19 and 31 and ALL of them are addicted now as well!

I have to admit I was a skeptic about the whole sparkling-vampire thing. However, my friend made me sit through the movie, and I decided to give the book a chance. Good decision on my part, the book was great. It seemed like every free moment I had I was reading it, the 500 pages flew by in 2-3 days. I feel like I've been sucked into the Twilight Saga. In general I enjoy Stephenie Meyer's writing style. This is a good read.

Overall:
I heard So many good comments about this book from a lot of friends. Including those "teen age girls" at my church (LOL). I was just shopping for text book and saw this book for such a great price! I thought, why not try out? So bought and and read it in couples days. Next thing I know, odering the whole series online, and now I'm done! BIG HUGE fan of Twilight saga! I even bought some (Cullen Crest) Jewelry worned by Esme, Rosalie, and Alice in the movie :P Sometimes I feel so imature for being so obsessed with Twilight as age 23! but O WELL who cares? I LOVE it!! Can't wait to read again if I get more time!!

Cons: My best friend stoped reading Twilight Saga who strongly recommended to me. I asked her why and apparently she saw article about how "Stephanie Meyer had some grammer errors in the book and didn't bother to look over it and fix it before publishing it. Becuase she didn't care, it is for teenage girls." and apprantly it affended my friend. I've read the whole books before found out about this and apparently, I love this book too much to care about grammer mistakes. (and I'm looking forward to see the movies and Midnight Sun) For more info: go to http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/

Twilight

It was a great read! I couldn't put it down, until it was finished. It is a romance between a vampire and a human. It got me going onto the next in the series "New Moon". I finished that one and am now on the third in the series "Eclipse". I enjoy the author's writing style, it established good characters. I bought it, after I had already read the book. I had borrowed the book from a friend. I wanted my own copy, so I bought the four book series while I was at it. My daughter is reading "Twilight" now and enjoying it too. Great romance!

The book, Twilight, was in used condition, but I was so happy to get it at a discounted price. I can not wait to finish reading it. All the pages are intact and Ebay is the best way to go about getting a book with this much popularity. Ms. Meyer has an excellent way with words, that make you feel like your right there beside Edward and Bella.
