![Twilight [The Twilight Saga, Book 1] - Picture 1 of 1](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/VBkAAOSw1Gxf~nX-/s-l500.jpg)
I bought "Twilight" because when the t-shrits came out they sold out in a day and I was wondering what all the hype was about. I knew it was a movie coming out, but I had no idea it was first a series of books. So like always when I am curious I jumped right in. I bought "Twilight" and less than 30 hours later (I did have to work LOL) I had finished. The entire time my nose was pressed into the book I had a smile on my face and sometimes I laughed out loud at the romantic tension and casual bantering between the main characters Edward Cullen (a "vegitarian" vampire) and Bella Swan (a girl wise beyond her years who takes care of her father). Although the books are geared to a younger "high school" audience the romance between the characters is all VERY clean. When she realizes what he and his "family" are, although she doesn't fear him in the least, her life is suddenly in danger from a pack of nomad vampires. For parents I'd like to note although it is in its sence a "romance" it is I think, well written and not at all vulgur ("above the neck romance" I heard it described in an article). It is also good to realise that it is books like this series and the Harry Potter series that have gotten teens once again interested in reading which I think makes them noteworthy in themselves. Since buying and reading the series I've convinced 5 friends to read it (male and female) between the ages of 19 and 31 and ALL of them are addicted now as well!Read full review
Overall: I heard So many good comments about this book from a lot of friends. Including those "teen age girls" at my church (LOL). I was just shopping for text book and saw this book for such a great price! I thought, why not try out? So bought and and read it in couples days. Next thing I know, odering the whole series online, and now I'm done! BIG HUGE fan of Twilight saga! I even bought some (Cullen Crest) Jewelry worned by Esme, Rosalie, and Alice in the movie :P Sometimes I feel so imature for being so obsessed with Twilight as age 23! but O WELL who cares? I LOVE it!! Can't wait to read again if I get more time!! Cons: My best friend stoped reading Twilight Saga who strongly recommended to me. I asked her why and apparently she saw article about how "Stephanie Meyer had some grammer errors in the book and didn't bother to look over it and fix it before publishing it. Becuase she didn't care, it is for teenage girls." and apprantly it affended my friend. I've read the whole books before found out about this and apparently, I love this book too much to care about grammer mistakes. (and I'm looking forward to see the movies and Midnight Sun) For more info: go to http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/Read full review
It was a great read! I couldn't put it down, until it was finished. It is a romance between a vampire and a human. It got me going onto the next in the series "New Moon". I finished that one and am now on the third in the series "Eclipse". I enjoy the author's writing style, it established good characters. I bought it, after I had already read the book. I had borrowed the book from a friend. I wanted my own copy, so I bought the four book series while I was at it. My daughter is reading "Twilight" now and enjoying it too. Great romance!
I loved the book. It is an easy read that is extremely interesting. It is hard to put the book down and will have you grasping the next three in the series in no time. The characters are complex and the book is not predictable at all. You never know what is going to happen next, but I couldn't put the book down to wonder for long! Meyer does a great job with expressing the feelings and making you feel like you are the main character. You get so involved in the book it is sometimes hard to come back to reality.
This book is possibly the best love story I've ever read. The Vampire aspect is a huge bonus. The author is great at displaying the feelings of the characters. It really makes you feel like part of an amazing story. It is classified as a “young adult” novel, but I am 27 years old and I absolutely loved it.
