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.
About three things I was absolutely positive: First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him“and I didnt know how dominant that part might be“that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
śID NEVER GIVEN MUCH THOUGHT TO HOW I WOULD DIE“ Id 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.ť 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 doesnt 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.
I am not normally interested in these types of books; but, this was very well written and I truly enjoyed the story.

totally sucked in by the series. though it is very predictable, it reads like every girl's dream. thus the money spending to read the books(more like skim the unnecessary blocks of text, to the main points). i've read 3 in 2 days so not quite sure what plot lies in which book, but her ideas are definitely NOT original. plot spoiler...but werewolves and vampires being foes? definitely not new. she is no jk rowling, but she knows how to play to the audience's love for dramatic romance and fantasy.
"Totally Disappointed"
Written By: K. Rowland
I read Twilight on vacation last week and was completely disappointed. I realize this book was written for young adults, but even young adults should be insulted at how juvenille it was. Setting the sci-fi aspect of the novel aside, the characters and their interactions were completely unrealistic. Anyone in HS knows better than to believe this is how teenagers behave. There was a bonfire on the beach without booze, cigarettes, hooking up or spin-the-bottle? There was talk of the dance and the prom, but no after-party or sex? It's unrealistic b/c even if the kids aren't doing it, they are still talking about it.
Aside from the problems I had with what I mentioned above, the story was poorly developed. First, Bella's character was boring, unexciting, unromantic, unEVERYTHING. It was unbelievable that nobody in Pheonix took a liking to her, but every guy in Forks fell head over feet for her? Most upsetting of all is that Edward's attraction to her wasn't b/c he loved her, it was b/c she smelled like the best piece of prime rib in the school.
My last complaint (for this review anyway) is that the author had a tendency to repeat herself throughout the novel. How many times did we need to go over the same concepts?
I don't recommend this book to anyone over 12.

"Get Real"
Written By:
Ihate this freaking book even though I havve not even read it. This seris should be discontinued and all other copies destroyed immediately. We do not want the whole population running around spasing out because they think vampires are real. The population is bad already. proof: This seris of books was published.
