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
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.

 AMAZINGG!!! November 20, 2008

I love these books! They're amazing. You have to read them all, no excuses. One of my friends made me read twilight and I'm officially addicted. You don't exactly have to buy the book because these books are everywhere, and you could just get it from the library, but if you love it like I do- you'll want your own copy to read whenever you want.
TEAM EDWARD :)
This book is more for the romantic than the blood-thirsty! November 20, 2008

I picked up this book because of the movie trailers. Once I started reading it, I hated to put it down. For me that is the ultimate compliment. If you are looking for a lot of fighting, blood shed and sex, DO NOT buy this book - You will be disappointed. The book even SKIPS OVER the fight scene you see on the movie trailer. (For that I was a little disappointed.)
However, it was written to make the reader feel the characters' love and pain. I must say I certainly did. I guess mostly because in high school I fell deeply in love with a blonde haired, pale-skinned boy. I truely saw fireworks on our first kiss and I felt pain in my heart when we fought or were not together for more than a day. I could relate to Bella in so many ways. I was never graceful or athletic. I was always the smart one who never had much luck with the boys, until the ONE came along. So yes, I believe it is possible to be that crazy and painfully in love with someone, even if (especially if) they are dangerous.
I must admit I feel a little silly for being addicted to this book about high school kids, since I'm a 35 yr old professional mom and all. But at the same time I can still relate to the story because my husband (who was not my high school sweetheart) is a bit dangerous. There is always something SEXY about dangerous men.
Anyway, if you enjoy a good romantic fantasy, I HIGHLY recommend this book. I am about to buy the next in the series.
dont we all wish we have an edward? November 20, 2008
ok this is not boys. it is a total girly book. edward would make any girls melt. one of the best romance i read. this is best book out of the 3! bella gets too annoying with jacob later for my taste.
 Storyline intrigued... the written word annoyed November 19, 2008

With all the hype of this series (and movie) it seemed appropriate to read this book just to see what made it such a phenomenon.
It took me only a day to read because it was written so simply, although it is verbose. The storyline itself is so far from reality it was a nice break indeed. I agree with other reviewers on many things including the lack of depth in the characters and constant reminder of the cold, stone-like vampire who was so beautiful.
As an adult I can appreciate it as a YA novel, but it seems that it may tell teenage girls everywhere it's ok to be a melodramatic damsel in distress (the only way her hero will be there to save her) as far as I know needing someone that much - and rather die than to be without them -can be a very unhealthy dose of medicine. Keep in mind this is a FANTASY WORLD the author has created.
Hopefully the movie captures the intrigue... it will certainly cut out all the wordiness.
Good easy read... November 19, 2008

Yes, it was entertaining on a very shallow level, but it doesnt match some of the other stuff there is to read...the story, plot, and characters werent very developed, and a ten year old could read all the words...even if they didnt understand what it meant when they layed together, and lieing to there parents. I think it was a good idea, but could have been written in a better style. Im still reading the series though, its interesting, just not challenging.
