Deeply sensuous and extraordinarily suspenseful, TWILIGHT captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite. Isabella Swans 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, Isabellas 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 Isabella, the person Edward holds most dear. The lovers find themselves balanced precariously on the point of a knifebetween desire and danger.

This book is amazing. It really makes you remember what new love is. Ive read this book a few times and i am sure i will read it more.
I was worried that this was going to be a very teeny-bopper type of book. Then again I am a Harry Potter fan, so I figured it would be bearable. I was incredibly suprised at how the story ****** you in. I couldn't put it down. Stephenie Meyer has the ability to write a scene the way a person feels it....instead of just describing how it looks. It's amazing. She managed to make a love story into something that has you sighing and daydreaming about it later. Great book.
This book is a really good first book to a great series. It introduces characters that teenagers my age might be able to relate to. It is different from the books I usually read, but I am glad I read it. It is a book that you will want to read more than once. Twilight is just that good.
3 stars was the best I could do. I found the heroine annoyingly shallow. I had to remind myself that she was only 17 and that the book was written for teens, not adults. While Bella's silly obsession with Edward made me grit my teeth, at least I wasn't having to plow through hard core sex scenes like what's forced down your throat in adult romance. A tradeoff, I guess. Adult readers,like me may have a bit of trouble understanding the 5 star ratings, but it is a pretty good story if you don't expect the protagonist to be a good role model for the target audience.I doubt that I'll bother looking for books 2 or 3 in the series.
I read. I read ALOT. This books is okay. Not great, not excellent. Okay. If you want a good vampire novel don't read this one. This is a sappy love story that has very little to do with the supernatural. Better for a 13 year old girl more interested in clothes and hair than a hard core fantasy lover. But it wasn't bad. I've read worse.
