The book that started the phenomenon is now available in a deluxe collector's edition! Featuring a ribbon bookmark, cloth cover, ragged edges, new chapter opener designs, and a beautiful protective slipcase, this edition is perfect for fans and collectors alike.
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.

 Oh, why not... December 5, 2008

I'll give it 4 stars. The book, after all, is written for high school kids! I bought the book due to movie hype. I do love reading first time authors, I find they are often an authors best books. I do plan to buy the next book, and have hopes that the author expands.
Bottom line, I thought Stephanie Meyer caught the angst of high school romance, as if she graduated last June. I was transported back (was it really 40 years!), and was impressed with her ability to stir the memory of high school crushes. (Of course, this may be a down side, as an 'elder' reader I know the reality of high school loves, but I was reminded that at the time...) I also, must admit, I love a good vampire story. I've yet to find a decent vampire since Anne Rices' Interview With The Vampire & Vampire Lestat books, and the movie Dracula with Gary Oldman. This series has potential. Maybe I should reread Interview, but I have hope that Meyer will join the others as a good vampire story.

but i absolutely had write a review on this book either way.
im a 14 year old teenaged girl and i love this book with all my heart and soul. this book completely changed my perspective on how love should be, edward and bella's love is dangerous & intense. & throughout all the pages you feel as if your on edge, and you just HAVE to keep turning the pages and keep reading more of it. im not gonna go into every little detail of this book, cause im sure you've heard lots of talk about the movie and books already.
& dont get me wrong, this isnt just a love story meant for teenagers, i have some guy friends at school that have read the book or seen the movie, and they say they really enjoyed it. not only that but im now hearing aobut adult women, like even moms, who LOVE this book! there's a lot in this book that alot of people can connect to, and i would definitely recommend you to read this book, im sure it'll overwhelm you as well.
Very entertaining book December 5, 2008

True love blossoms between an accident-prone human and a stubborn gorgeous vampire December 4, 2008

Summed up in one sentence Twilight is a love story between a vampire (Edward Cullen) and a human (Bella Swan).
Bella Swan moves to Forks, WA to live with her father Charlie. There she meets Edward (one of the five gorgeous Cullen siblings) whom try as he might can't seem to stay away from Bella. Her blood is the sweetest most tempting thing Edward has ever smelled. She is also the most intriguing human Edward has ever met. He can't read her mind and that frustrates him and fascinates him at the same time. When Bella's life is threatened by James (a tracker vampire who has his sights set on Bella), Edward and the rest of the Cullens rally to protect her.
The bones of the story work well, and although some of the descriptive words chosen do tend to get annoyingly repetitive it is an absolute delight to read.
