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.

 So relatable!!!!!! July 28, 2010

 Let's get ready to rumble!!!!! Review time! July 27, 2010
Michael Valdivielso (Alexandria, VA)
First, Edward was a vampire. Well, to be nitpicky, he IS a vampire. But let us continue. He sparkles. Fine, no problem. Some vampires are butterflies and some have heads that fly around. So I can deal. He can read minds. OK, he is supernatural. He likes to play baseball. Fine, a tad weird, but fine.
He wants BLOOD. Well, duh, he is a VAMPIRE. Runs around during daylight. OK, so? The whole sunlight burns vampires thing is pretty new. So the vampire part of the book is, to me, not an issue.
Oh, yes, the werewolves. Well, at least they don't seem to be having a war going on. World of Darkness, Underworld, every role playing game on the net has THAT! Kind of refreshing to have a werewolf and a vampire in the same space and not have a gunfight/cat fight/sword fight. Male hormones are so overrated.
Romance. Oh yes. Romance - the feeling that you are all alone and nobody understands you. But wait - that guy/girl/monster/computer understands you! Oh joy! Oh no, he/she/it may hate you. Oh, happiness, now he/she/it loves you again! All is well in the world. Oh my, a plain girl who is special because she is thoughtless. Oh, wait, I mean the vampires can't read her thoughts. And he feels the need to protect her. Carry her. Hand feed her. Well, maybe not that last. Yet.
Still, the book is a good first try. Smashing really, when you remember she is a bestseller right now. But still, it seems too easy to figure out where the story is going to go. The girl is sometimes so stupid and seems to lack a independent thought in her thoughtless head. How fast do they fall in love - a month?
But wait, I forgot. It is a TEEN ROMANCE NOVEL. So maybe I should just give it some slack? Also, as I was given it as a gift, I can't really complain.
Edward is Not as Creepy as Heathcliff July 27, 2010
Melissa McCauley (North Little Rock, AR)
This is not a vampire book. It is a teenage romance novel where the object of Bella's obsession just happens to be an unconventional vampire. (Snark Alert! If Bella had more life experience, she would know Edward's behavior is much more frightening than his vampirism.)
Meyers does a really excellent job of capturing the thrill of smoldering glances, flirting, first kisses, first love. Will this story stand the test of time? I have no idea, but I think it probably will. Edward can't hold a candle to Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights) for creepiness, and women have been crazy about him for centuries.
Small town supernatural romance July 26, 2010

Way before the blockbuster movies came out my sister and best friend recommended a book called Twilight. A fan of the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and big young adult fiction reader, they thought I'd really like the story of a shy girl sent to live with her dad in a small town who accidentally falls in love with the local vampire. I gobbled this book up the way Edward desperately wants to sink his teeth into Bella. The story is simple but so enjoyable. Bella is a girl I can easily relate to and who doesn't want their own perfect Edward? Stephenie Meyer's idea isn't that original but the way she tells the story, through Bella's eyes, makes for a really great love story with an interesting twist. Meyer's perfectly sets the scene, with her super descriptive style. Thank god this is a series because I couldn't get enough!
