Editorial Review:

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.

• Great Story
  While I was reading this book, there was something about it that drew me in to the point where I could not put it down. I finished it in only about two sittings! The story really held my attention from the moment Bella sat down next to Edward in biology class.
  Some of the romantic dialogue and situations between Edward and Bella were a little cheesy and unrealistic, but that's what I liked about this story! It was like a fairytale. Relationships like these don't exist anywhere but in books and... more info

• As the sun sets
  OK...I'm one of the few non-females to read this book. My wife and many of her friends would push this into the 5 star category. I'm between 2 and 3 stars.
  It's definitely an enjoyable and well-crafted story with endearing characters. Meyer creates a lovable heroine that her target audience of women and girls can relate to and sympathize with. Then she pairs her with a gallant and chivalrous hero trying desperately to reconcile his love with his sense of self.
  For the male audience, the romantic... more info

• amazing
  when i started this story i never imagined how much it would touch me. i never wanted it to end

• Overrated Trash
  I mean, I don't even know where to begin here. As a long-time Anne Rice fan (I first read "Interview with the Vampire" when I was thirteen) I was intrigued by the excitement surrounding Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" saga, which is said to be bigger than Harry Potter in some circles. However, I was also wary. According to several online reviews I had read, the series is also alarmingly sexist, maybe even misogynist, especially given Edward's controlling nature. I entered the first book with an open mind, but... more info
