He seems determined to push her away ? until, that is, he saves her life from an out of control car. Bella will soon discover that there is a very good reason for Edward's coldness.

Review
'The sexiest vampire tale for years arrived in Stephenie Meyer's TWILIGHT, about teenage Bella's chaste romance with a beautiful vampire boy. Their intensely erotic feelings are endangered by more predatory types. Guaranteed to suck in sulky 13+ girls for hours.' THE TIMES "Will keep readers madly flipping the pages of Meyer's tantalizing debut." Publishers Weekly

absolutely fantastic
i havent been obsessed about a book this way since i discovered the harry potter series all those years ago.i am no quick reader and i read all four books within a week.thay really are worth buying.highly recommended.

Amazing!
I have never been as obsessed with a book as I was with Twilight. I thought about it constantly when I wasn't reading it, and lost a lot of sleep over it too! It was quite an unhealthy obsession... Of course the main reason for loving Twilight is obviously Edward... Who doesn't love him?! But it's also just such a charming, exciting story, which I was hooked on within the first twenty pages.

A great book by a great author. Twilight
I really enjoyed this, my oldest boy 16 loved it, my youngest boy 12 thought it was a bit scary at times, and likes to sleep with his light on now. However they both agreed they enjoyed it and would read more of Twilight. Great for teens, but maybe the younger children should read Jason Steed, Alex Rider books.
