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.

 Captivating October 5, 2008
I love to find new (to me) authors. When I first heard about this book and the author, I was very excited, but when I realized what it was about, I resisted reading it. Vampires? Ick. This was my first 'fantasy' read. The hype overcame me, however, and I relented. I finished the book in a matter of 48 hours! I stayed spellbound and thoroughly enthralled throughout the entire book, down to the very last page. It was a very good story with excellent character developments and visual descriptions. This was definitely not the old Bela Lugosi type of vampire story--it was very contemporary and intriguing. As for the fact that it is directed to young adults, I have to say that I never thought of it in that way, despite the characters being in high school. It was a suspenseful, entertaining book, with refreshingly little (maybe one) curse words or graphic sexual situations. I already have number two in the series and am anxious to get started on it!
 Twilight Review October 5, 2008
The book Twilight by Stephenie Meyer is a fascinating novel. From the beggining the simplicity of the characters and plot make it an easy read but it becomes a first class novel when Stephanie Meyer uses her writing style and structure. Bella, the main character of the first book in the twilight series, is a clumsy new girl at Forks High who takes a fascination in a group of very handsome vampires. Bella shows the readers a great perspective. Twilight is not just for the vampire lovers though, it is a delightful love story when Edward(one of the handsome vampires) and Bella get to know one another. A twist in this relationship keeps the reader holding their breath to make sure Edward doesn't take a chunk out of Bella's neck. The sense of family arouses as Bella gets to know Edward's whole family of nice vampires. When some other human-eating vampires come into to town it is not fun and games anymore because Bella is running for her life. Will she make it? Find out in Meyer's Twilight, the start of another phenomenon.
Fantastic!! October 5, 2008
I first read Stephanie Meyer's "Host" and loved it so much I couldn't wait to read more from her. I purchased the "Twilight Saga and read all four books. They were all great.
She writes from a first person prespective and you come to love the characters, especially the innerworld of the heroine. She begins as a teenager with all the self-consciousness, weaknesses, and foibles of a teen. She is the definition of a clutz.
Through each successive book you watch her grow and mature into a really wonderful adult heroine.
These books are full of monsters, many of which I came to love.
I can't wait to see what Stephanie Meyer comes up with next.
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer October 5, 2008
Some people needed a new series to claim after JK Rowling finished the last Harry Potter book, and for some this may be it, even though this series is four books rather than seven (there might be a fifth; we Twilight fans can only hope). You read the hype: first love, juniors in high school, girl human, boy just happens to be a vampire, just another day in Forks, Washington. What you might not realize is the draw this book has for young and old; entire families are reading the series and talking and commenting on what they have read. A Morman mother wrote the series and I recommend books 1-3 for young adults (middle school), but even though book 4 is TASTEFULLY written, as a mother I would hold this one for the high school readers.
Twilight Collector's Edition (The Twilight Saga)
 A Good Modern Day Vampire Story October 5, 2008
With all the hype going on about the Twilight movie coming out, I decided to see what all the fuss was about and actually read the book. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the book actually was.
The story is definately written for the teenage crowd and anyone in high school can identify with the characters right away. It is well written in that it uses humor to get around what could be some awkward moments. The book gives the reader the perspective from the vampire's side as well and that is a side which is not common in books since they are usually portrayed as evil.
I would recommend this book for someone looking for an enjoyable read, but something not too serious. It was a good break from some of the other reading that I have been doing. Check out the first chapter and I think you will be hooked.
