Twilight (Twilight, Book 1)

This is such a fun and exciting tale. You will be hooked, so you better buy all 4 of them. The story is enticing. The characters are exciting. This is a great book and definatly worth the read.

A "can't put down" book - the characters draw you right in and get you involved. Great new version of the vampire myth!

I rarely write reviews but this book is getting so much hype I had to add my two cents. Quite simply, this is romance novel fiction for teens. Nothing more or less. The hearthrob language, the utter willingness--outright longing--of the main character to give up everything for the hunky guy vampire. I actually don't want my 12-year old to read it because I think the female protagonist starts off promising (opinionated and strong) and just ends up totally lame (capitulating and stupid)! And the writing is bland, lacking the imaginative plot twists or character depth of the harry potter books. On my daughter's recommendation I just finished Wicked by Gregory Maquire, which by contrast is far more intelligent, fun, and provocative. If she gets sucked into this trilogy I'll know she's lowering her standards!

I saw this book around the campus quite often in female hands, and the actor who acts Edward Cullen looked interesting, so I thought i would have a taste of the book before I watched the movie. I checked out some of the reviews on amazon.com to see if the book was worth the purchase, and they seemed more than fair. So I tried the book, and it was just a little bit of a disappointment. I don't think I liked the heroin much-she can't do anything without her beloved Edward. I can't like her-although I tried. I really did. But the book overall was just ok. But i don't think it's worth a round of applause as it seems to be getting. The writing style was dull and it rarely fired up an interest in me while reading. I think the only character I really liked was Edward Cullen. Bella Swan was rather ditzy, and that wasn't even a cute kind of ditziness she had. Rosalie wins.

I have read all four books and loved them. What i liked most about these books is how they were written. any girl who reads them can easily fall into bella's situation in someway or another. After reading these books i wished i was Bella! i wished i could find someone like Edward! He is perfect in every way! He loves Bella unconditionally for who she is! no matter how loopy or stubborn she can be at times! the thrill this book gives is amazing! i mean i felt like i was living the story instead of just reading it in my room. this book made me look at guys differently and made me realize that all girls should find a guy who loves her for her and not who she may pretend to be. It made me WANT to find someone! That is why i think guys should read the book as well. If they pay attention to how Edward treats Bella maybe there would be more gentlemen instead of lame boys!
