Synopsis
When 17 year old Isabella Swan moves to Forks, Washington to live with her father she expects that her new life will be as dull as the town. But in spite of her awkward manner and low expectations, she finds that her new classmates are drawn to this pale, dark-haired new girl in town. But not, it seems, the Cullen family. These five adopted brothers and sisters obviously prefer their own company and will make no exception for Bella. Bella is convinced that Edward Cullen in particular hates her, but she feels a strange attraction to him, although his hostility makes her feel almost physically ill. 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. He, and his family, are vampires ? and he knows how dangerous it is for others to get too close.

Customer Reviews

just amazing...*****
i have never felt the urge before to write a review it never appealed to me, so this is my first. But 'twilight' by stephenie meyer, is just a book you can not put down, so much so that i ended up reading it over the period of one night when i had work the next morning (not advisable). The story line is so creative in which the author has let known that it came to her in a dream (corny i know, but thank god it did!) her imagination was able to take one part of the book (it was the part in the field where Edward shows his true self to Bella) which was her dream to create the end and then the begining until everything just pieced together. Truthfully i'm not the kind of girl that has her head in books all the time, in fact since i have left school this is the first book i read, and it has given me a sense of life again. but now i have to wait until the middle of august before i get the other three books to conclude this beautifully directed story, trust me once you read the epilogue you will need (not want) the next three books! Also there is a film made which is coming out 12/12/08 but i'm not sure when in the U.K it is coming out, but i can't wait, i have all ready seen some trailers for it, and it looks as breath taking as the book.

what a sick masochistic lion.............
This was an amazing book!! I bought it on a whim after my friend kept telling me "read twilight!!! read twilight". i haven't looked back. Since then every conversation at lunch time has had at least one reference to the tale of bella and edward......... it's unforgettable.....
The character of Bella is so easy to relate to. Then there's Edward........ It is impossible to read this book and say you did not fall in love with this character.
Unfortunately this book leaves very high expectations for New Moon/Eclipse and it is extremely easy to be left feeling disappointed after reading the sequels. Let's hope Breaking Dawn doesn't suck cause I cannot wait for it.

Amazing
I know the majority of people reviewing this book have said that it was incredible etc etc but I'm going to say it again because really, it truly is amazing.
I like a good love story as much as the next person but this was something else. Literally, you can't help falling in love with Edward. I'm not even joking when I say he's the perfect guy (aside form the fact that he's a vampire, I guess). If you like a little romance in a book then Twilight is perfect for you.
I've read all the classics like Pride and Prejudice etc and as much as I enjoyed them, after reading them once or twice that's enough for me. Twilight is the complete opposite. This may just be my personal opinion but I recon I could read it again and again and actually not get bored. Judging my everyone elses comments on here I don't think I'm alone in that opinion. New Moon and Eclipse are equally as good and I'm actually counting down the days until Breaking Dawn comes out.

To any one considering buying this book, I say just do it. It is amazingly good (I can't say it enough times) and if you don't enjoy it (you're probably a little crazy) then sell it on the Amazon Market Place. Honestly, this (along with the second and third) is my favourite book EVER!
