Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Review:
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.

Product Description:
"Softly he brushed my cheek, then held my face between his marble hands. ''Be very still,'' he whispered, as if I wasn''t already frozen. Slowly, never moving his eyes from mine, he leaned toward me. Then abruptly, but very gently, he rested his cold cheek against the hollow at the base of my throat. " As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because--he''s a vampire. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonizes over the danger. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship.Meyer has achieved quite a feat by making this scenario completely human and believable. She begins with a familiar YA premise (the new kid in school), and lulls us into thinking this will be just another realistic young adult novel. Bella has come to the small town of Forks on the gloomy Olympic Peninsula to be with her father. At school, she wonders about a group of five remarkably beautiful teens, who sit together in the cafeteria but never eat. As she grows to know, and then love, Edward, she learns their secret. They are all rescued vampires, part of a family headed by saintly Carlisle, who has inspired them to renounce human prey. For Edward''s sake they welcome Bella, but when a roving group of tracker vampires fixates on her, the family is drawn into a desperate pursuit to protect the fragile human in their midst. The precision and delicacy of Meyer''s writing lifts this wonderful novel beyond the limitations of the horror genre to a place among the best of YA fiction. (Ages 12 and up)



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Disappointing
After all the hype, I found Twilight incredibly disappointing. It starts out pretty strong, but withing a couple chapters the narrator, Bella, and the hero Edward are already madly in love, no build-up, suspense, or obstacles in their way, other than Edward constantly claiming he is "dangerous." The real action begins toward the end of the book when a very flat bad guy shows up and (of course) wants to kill Bella for no other reason than pissing off Edward.
I do understand that Twilight is ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Twilight Saga beautiful , especially Breaking Dawn etc.
The negative responses I've seen are either very closed-minded or very.... egotistical.. or maybe very young. It seems to me that she wrote the novels first for herself and then later was viewed for the teenage audience. Twilight could easily fit in that category (especially teenage). However, she stated once that she wrote the Saga for herself-- not for teens, or for me (I'm 27) or you-it was for herself FIRST. I think you should remember that. Maybe Breaking Dawn wasn't catered to teens or to the ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Twilight
A fabulous book! Had a hard time putting it down. ALredy started New Moon



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great story and characters, okay writer
First, Amazon.com - they're the best. They're fast, reliable and stand behind their product.

Twilight, the story/plot and character build up are great...her writing is not the best but for teenagers, and for the times now, good enough. It might be annoying to read - maybe for some college students, b/c the writing is not the greatest...not like your Thomas Mann...but love the story and it's "clean"... would definitely pass on to my daughters when they come of age.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book
I am an adult but this book is still a good read. I couldn't put it down.
