Editorial Review:

Product Description:
"Softly he brushed my cheek, then held my face between his marble hands. ''Be very still,'' he whispered, as if I wasn''t already frozen. Slowly, never moving his eyes from mine, he leaned toward me. Then abruptly, but very gently, he rested his cold cheek against the hollow at the base of my throat. " As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because--he''s a vampire. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonizes over the danger. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship.Meyer has achieved quite a feat by making this scenario completely human and believable. She begins with a familiar YA premise (the new kid in school), and lulls us into thinking this will be just another realistic young adult novel. Bella has come to the small town of Forks on the gloomy Olympic Peninsula to be with her father. At school, she wonders about a group of five remarkably beautiful teens, who sit together in the cafeteria but never eat. As she grows to know, and then love, Edward, she learns their secret. They are all rescued vampires, part of a family headed by saintly Carlisle, who has inspired them to renounce human prey. For Edward''s sake they welcome Bella, but when a roving group of tracker vampires fixates on her, the family is drawn into a desperate pursuit to protect the fragile human in their midst. The precision and delicacy of Meyer''s writing lifts this wonderful novel beyond the limitations of the horror genre to a place among the best of YA fiction. (Ages 12 and up)

Amazon.com Review:
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.

- The Best Vampire book Ever
This was the best vampire book ever. It has everything romance, action. It is about a very normal looking girl who falls in love with a vampire Edward. Who loves her just as much. I couldn't put the books down. LOVE IT!

Rating:

- It's not a vampire book! It's not just for teens!!! My newest guilty pleasure.
It's an escape. It's a guilty pleasure like reading the celebrity tabloids. The book won't win awards for stellar writing, but it's addictive....and it's not just for teens. It's a quick read as it invites the reader to enter the world of a girl who gets the guy, but he turns out to be a vampire.....who won't turn her into one.

Sure it's not believable, but it is a book about vampires after all. You'll turn the pages faster as the plot thickens and you begin to identify with the mortal, Bella Swan, who is in love with Edward Cullen, the vampire. They share a sickly sweet love and create a bond that only exists in romance novels or abusive relationships. But, you crave it. You crave his family's wealth as he offers to shower her with gifts which range from a car (new Audi) ... Read More

- From A Man Who Has Read 'Twilight'
For many reasons I banned reading this book. Working in retail with teenie girls barraging the bookstands demanding for the next Stephanie Meyer book was just annoying and made me believe these books were meant for the intelligently-deficient. A friend online said I should at least try it and see for myself. I thought about J.K. Rowling's work. I hated Harry Potter at first, then gave the books a chance since all my friends did, and turns out I loved them all. In thinking that Harry Potter wasn't just meant for kids, maybe Twilight wasn't just meant for dumb teenie girls.

So I read it. I freaking loved it!

I'm not big on romance novels, but this isn't just a romance novel. It's so much more than that. This is by far the most original vampire story I've read ... Read More

- Speechless, sleepless, and addicted to vampires
I had to take a break from reading the series after book two because I had circles under my eyes from lack of sleep that were darker than Edward's when he's thirsty. These books are unbelievably addicting and everything ever said about Edward is true. Read with caution!

- Twilight book 1
I read this book (and the rest of the 4 book series) because my 11 year old niece was reading them. I was a little concerned with the romance theme but overall this was a an excellent book and fun to read. It opened up the ability to talk about dating rules in the future, responsible love versus this fantasy version, where it would possibly be harder to get a teen to talk about it with an adult. I have read this book and book 4 twice.
