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.

teen angst/abuse:
I enjoyed the movie much more than the book, even though the first installment was poorly funded and directed. I couldn't shake the feeling the entire time of how poorly Edward treated Bella. They tempered this quite a bit in the movie, you will notice, because it's quite off-putting and makes Edward look like a royal a-hole. Did he ever notice or comment on her intellect, sense of humor, courage, character? Did anyone else notice that he was constantly angry with her, making condescending faces and noises?... more info
Twilight:
A whiny little girl falls in love with someone who sparkles and is tortured by his "vampire" existence. Although he has never eaten anyone nor done anything vampire-like. Forget the fact that he is a total creeper. She then proceeds to set women's rights back 70 years while existing only to love a "man"( aka whiny little b*tch) and have him save her. If you want to see a real vampire romance, watch this Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Collector's Set (40 discs)
Fantastic on all age levels!:
I really enjoyed reading this book. It reaches teens and adults too. Thanks.
Harry Potter fan and a Man:
I could not finish reading this first book. If I finished it I would have lost too much. I would have ended up loving a vampire and looking at him in a strange way. Nah, couldn't do it. However, this author is nothing compared to J.K. Rowling. Stephanie doesn't have the element of surprise and sense that J.K. Rowling have in her books. Meyer only knows about disturbing irrational love. I know twilight fans will hate me after this, but I really don't care. I got Harry Potter fans having my back. And they are... more info
