Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)

ok, i'm not a young adult by any means, but i wanted to see what the hype was all about. and i am so glad i did. i thoroughly enjoyed this story. i am thoroughly addicted. it was an easy, appealing read.

If you want an escape, then get this book.

if you've had any fascination with vampires and their passionate arrogant and extremely sexy appeal, then this will feed that fascination.

If you've ever felt that you were less than ordinary and would like to be sought after and loved by the most beautiful, then you'll relate to Bella.

it was a lot of fun. very enjoyable.i think the more negative reviews came from those who lost sight of what this book is: 1)young adult fiction 2)just something to escape into and let yourself enjoy it.

ok this is not boys. it is a total girly book. edward would make any girls melt. one of the best romance i read. this is best book out of the 3! bella gets too annoying with jacob later for my taste.

With all the hype of this series (and movie) it seemed appropriate to read this book just to see what made it such a phenomenon.

It took me only a day to read because it was written so simply, although it is verbose. The storyline itself is so far from reality it was a nice break indeed. I agree with other reviewers on many things including the lack of depth in the characters and constant reminder of the cold, stone-like vampire who was so beautiful.

As an adult I can appreciate it as a YA novel, but it seems that it may tell teenage girls everywhere it's ok to be a melodramatic damsel in distress (the only way her hero will be there to save her) as far as I know needing someone that much - and rather die than to be without them -can be a very unhealthy dose of medicine. Keep in mind this is a FANTASY WORLD the author has created.

Hopefully the movie captures the intrigue... it will certainly cut out all the wordiness.

Yes, it was entertaining on a very shallow level, but it doesnt match some of the other stuff there is to read...the story, plot, and characters werent very developed, and a ten year old could read all the words...even if they didnt understand what it meant when they layed together, and lieing to there parents. I think it was a good idea, but could have been written in a better style. Im still reading the series though, its interesting, just not challenging.

This is the kind of book that just keeps you wanting more. I cant seem to put it down. The way the author describes everything it makes you feel like your there and keeps you reading on. The story line is very intriguing.
