 Great deal but... November 13, 2008

I'm a huge Twilight fan! The 4 books are great, hardcovers all of them, and so are the prints with the quotes. However, the cardboard box they came in was broken and I had to glue it back myself, which is obviously disappointing. For this price I expect my order to be delivered with care.
Best Saga Yet November 11, 2008

The whole set is great. Having the books in a boxed set for the price on Amazon is amazing. I would definitely recommed this saga to anyone who loves a good love story with some mythical creatures as well. 10 thumbs up for me.
Cheaper to purchase all 4 books at once November 11, 2008

I borrowed the books from a friend and wanted them for myself. Purchasing all four separately with Twilight and New Moon in paperback, and Eclipse and Breaking Dawn in hardcover would cost the same (maybe even cheaper as today it's $45, when I got it for $52) as this boxset for all four.
If you want all 4 books, I recommend this just for being cheaper. It's the exact same story -- same words on the pages -- but you get all 4 books in hardcover, four 5x7" postcards (pictures of the covers of each of the books), and the nifty box.
As for the books, they're definitely not pulitzer prize worthy, but the story is addicting! At the heart of it is an intense, crazy, even obsessive love story between a human girl and an [immortal] vampire. I felt like a smitten teenager in high school again!!
 book not bound or printed properly November 11, 2008

I've never encountered this problem before but Twilight must have escaped quality control. The print is offskew and slanted rather than straight and portions of the book are not even bound. The remainder of the books are fine but I hate paying good money for shoddy quality.
A Wonderful Series November 10, 2008

First, let me say that this is not the review of a teenager. I'm a 30 year old woman who's read more than her share of paranormal romances in her time. I'm actually an active member of the romance industry. Friends kept telling me how wonderful Twilight was, but I'd hesitated because it was a YA book. When my best friend insisted, I broke down and bought the boxed set. I figured if they were as good as everyone said, I would go through them quite quickly and would want to keep them.
I'm very glad I did. I planned to just read Twilight in time to see the movie. I ended up reading all four books in 6 days time. This is outside of my day job and other responsibilities. Of course the stories and the writing are not flawless, but the characters are so compelling you forgive Meyer easily. These are her first books, after all. Not everyone gets dropped into fame so quickly and publicly. I think the key is in the characters and the world she created. You get wrapped up in it and when it's done, it's hard to let go.
For the box set itself, its beautiful, with 5x7 prints of the book covers. If you already have the books separately, I don't see any reason to buy the boxed set, but if you haven't bought any of them yet, I would highly recommend you take the leap and get them all.
