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

Edward
I wont describe the plot because it very comlex and ultimatley i think it would be best left as a suprise. Although i will say this. If your prepared to fall in love with a book charactor (Edward Cullen) and are looking for something with romance, action and drama then this is the book for you! (cheesy i know lol). Its one of the best books ive read in a long time and would reccomend it to everyone. (myself and my girlfriends think every boy should read this book and look to Edward as a sort of role model). The story line to this will be on your mind at all times during the reading and its an amazing book. i would say read the book before the film comes out (yes there is a film out soon) as watching a film before reading the book generally ruins the book and i wouldnt want that for anyone!

Tat that is absorbing
not bad for a kiddies book. all that angst etc. shame some the actual writing was a bit bland, i.e., describing teh main character as 'looking furious' most of teh time, although the main male character is the best thing of teh whole series. a schoolgirls dream man. this is where the series gets its votes with the very young female readers.the beggining of teh next installment added at teh end with a cliff hanger is also a clever marketing ploy for you to rush out and buy the next book.
some of teh other characters in teh story are also unbeleivable. why would Charlie let his daughter stay out all night doing what she likes? the writer tries to make you think of him as homer simpson when in fact he's a well respected policeman.
story of mush that while isnt excellant is strangely absorbing.even for someone like me in their twenties.

Brilliant
i thought it was a brilliant book i read it around work and college, and still managed to finnish it in two days, i couldnt put it down!!!
