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.

 Captivating November 23, 2008

I Was hesitant at first to read this book, but once I starting reading it, I could not put it down. I was, and still am, and advid Anne Rice fan and, though this is not in the same league as the Vampire Chronicles, it's good to see someone reviving the spirit of the Vimpire. Although this book, along with the rest of the series, are written more for the teen audience, I found it captivating enough for an audience of any age. I suggest if you have not read it, or are as skeptical as I was, just give it a chance!

I bought this series for my daughter who is 12. She has NEVER been a reader and I was trying my best to light a spark. It worked!!! She finished all four of them in a month and is now asking for MORE! That alone makes me a fan. Stephenie Meyer inspired at least one little girl to love to read and for me, her mother, that makes the book a success.
Personally, I read the book and found it slow and the characters a little flat/bland. If I hadn't had the other three and moved from one to the next and the next, I would have thought the book was a complete waste for an adults reader. However, the story builds and builds in each one and by the end I couldn't put them down. The series as a whole was well worth reading but this book alone was weak.

Everyone who sold me on reading this series told me each book is better than the one previous so I managed to make it through 2 and 1/2 books before I gave up. I give it two stars because Ms. Myers can write, but she uses that ability to give us thirty pages of story and several hundred pages more of extremely repetitive inner dialogue.
I found some of her characters interesting, and the books might have been much better if we saw their stories and Bella (the main character) was sent to go agonize quietly in a corner where she couldn't bother anyone else.
I can see a much younger audience being attracted to this series but the adult following baffles me. (And this is NOT a critique of fiction aimed at a younger readership, I love Harry Potter and Neil Gamman's Graveyard Book.)Becuase this book isn't so much about young love as young angst. Lots and lots of angst. And we all gotta go through it. But relive it?
and so it begins November 22, 2008

Twilight (Twilight Saga) I discovered these books when an injury kept me from doing anything this summer. I had read The Host and wondered if Stephenie Meyers had written anything else. I was delighted to find this series. I was hooked from chapter one and now so is my son. I took him to see the movie last night. At times Edward agonizes overly much...but he is a seventeen year olf from the early 19th century. I am not sure that many kids could make such a decision, as Bella does, to live with a parent to give the other parent the freedom to pursue a new life. But, as her mom calls her, she is an 'old soul'. She is different. And many girls can relate as she is far from perfect and admits this freely. She is a klutz, also a very relatable quality, and does not like to dance. She and the other characters are very likeable, they all could easily be our neighbors. And who would not want these vampires as neighbors. Okay, not the bad ones.

I am new to the Twilight craze, had never heard of the books before I heard about the movie. I like to read books before I see the movie, so I ordered this book, trying to get my 13-year-old interested. I loved it! I already have the next two books and am planning on buying the 4th soon. Loved the characters, the way it is so easy to relate to Bella, the references to Phoenix, everything about the book. Parents, read these books. They are not just for kids.
