Twilight (Twilight, Book 1)

I can understand why so many individuals don't like this book. It's hard to get into, I understand that. Romance novels aren't for everyone. However, I strongly suggest that readers give this book a chance. With or without its fellow brethren (there are three other books in the series), this book entices readers to follow along page after page. Any reader could follow the story line of, and be content with, only the first Twilight Saga book, though I highly suggest picking up the remaining three. And while the story may be written with an audience of teenage girls in mind, it delivers to both teenage and adult readers alike. I realize that this isn't the first novel of its kind on the market, but it does bring a fresh breath to the sub-genre of vampire romance novels, and I highly recommend it.

Twilight is an excellent book. Edward is breathtaking. I fell in love with his character. I can't believe that he isn't real!! :) This book will leave you wanting more. Good thing there is a sequel!

This book is nothing but fluff. Bella's character takes the womens movement back 10 decades, with her constant damsel in ditress bit. Jane Austin wrote stronger female leads in the 19th century. Edward might as well have been made of stone. His one dimensional character is sooo boring, I could hardly keep my eyes open. As for the story itself...well, if you like to know every excrutiating detail of some boring girls life with some vampires thrown in the mix, then this book is for you.

First, Edward was a vampire.

Second, there was a part of me---and I didn't know how dominant that part might be----that yearned for his undivided attention. (among other things)

And third, I was uncondionally and irrevocably in love with him.

Stephenie Meyer is a fabulous author! I definitely recommend the sequels to Twilight. She doesn't let you down with the next three books at all! They're all great!
