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.

first book report:
I was given the book Eclipse by my daughter for Christmas, the third book in the series, which I read in less than a day. I decided maybe I should start by reading the series from the beginning so I could understand what the third book was all about.I must say that from the moment I received the book and started reading it I could not put it down. It's touching and conflicting. How Edward didn't understand the "emotions" he was feeling and his over-protectiveness for Bella, which at times he got just a... more info
As a struggling writer, I'm offended:
Twilight centers on the developing romance between star-crossed flirters Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. Problem is, Bella and Edward have no chemistry. He's a 100 year-old vampire. She's a helpless, self-conscious klutz. They don't do anything together except look at each other. They have nothing in common--except they're both virgins--and so they talk about nothing. Oh, sure, they talk about the weather, music, and their favorite color, but nothing important like what they believe in or their values.... more info
Twilight:
I think the twilight saga has an incredible storyline to it, and has many parts to it that are unique. A lot of people criticize parts of the books (e.g. some of the features), but I think that the fact is that they don't like some of the small change Stephenie Meyer has made to vampires, so they critize it because it isn't the same.
Collector's Edition:
This has to be my ultimate favorite book and love the style, print and cover.
