About three things I was absolutely positive: First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him-and I didn't know how dominant that part might be-that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
"I'D NEVER GIVEN MUCH THOUGHT TO HOW I WOULD DIE- I'd had reason enough in the last few months -but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this. . . . Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of something else, someone I loved. Noble, even. That ought to count for something." When Isabella Swan moves to the gloomy town of Forks and meets the mysterious, alluring Edward Cullen, her life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. With his porcelain skin, golden eyes, mesmerizing voice, and supernatural gifts, Edward is both irresistible and impenetrable. Up until now, he has managed to keep his true identity hidden, but Bella is determined to uncover his dark secret. What Bella doesn't realize is the closer she gets to him, the more she is putting herself and those around her at risk. And, it might be too late to turn back. . . . Deeply seductive and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight will have readers riveted right until the very last page is turned.
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.

THE BEST STORY I'VE EVER READ I initially saw the trailer to the movie and heard it was based off of a novel. As I did with other movies, I bought the book so I can read it before the movie is released. I bought the book in Sept and didn't start reading until November. Once I started the story, I couldn't stop. I read one after the other non-stop. I even sped off the the store twice to pick up the next story/book in the saga. I ended up reading all four books in the Twilight Saga within a week. Once I finished them, I was still left... more info
Awesome book! I love, love, love this book! I finished it within 3 days and longed for more. I am almost done with the second book New Moon and already I can't wait to get the third installment Eclipse and then of course Breaking Dawn. I just came back from seeing the movie. Although the movie was good, there is no doubt the book is better because it goes into greater detail. This saga is such a page turner, exciting, romantic and a great read overall. Wow!
A new addiction I buy a lot of books (mostly within the fantasy genre), and some of them end up on my book shelf for months or years before I feel inspired for that type of reading material. There are definite reasons for my method, so if the book ends up being terrible, I don't get too upset about wasting the money since I bought it so long ago.

Surprising and Addictive As my title indicates, this was surprising and addictive! The narrative flows so easily ( as I geuss a YA novel should be..) I was lost in the imaginative story. I am much older than most of the Twilight fans, but believe that no matter what your age a little creativity and imagination keeps us healthy and alive. I've read some not so great reviews on the last 2 books of the series but..Oh well, I'm going to read them myself and decide. I'm also taking my nephews to see the movie ASAP.
