Product Description

To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, she has endured a tumultuous year of temptation, loss and strife to reach the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fate of two tribes hangs. Now that Bella has made her decision, a startling chain of unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating and unfathomable consequences. Just when the frayed strands of Bella's life - first discovered in TWILIGHT, then scattered and torn in NEW MOON and ECLIPSE - seem ready to heal and knit together, could they be destroyed...forever?

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

Customer Reviews

I fell in love with this book just like a love sick teenager.
This book was absolutly fantastic!! I stumbled across Stephenie Meyer's Twilight on sale in a local supermarket, after reading the first chapter I was hooked! I rushed around to find New Moon and then waited for Eclipse full of excitment. The wait for Breaking Dawn was a tough one but very worth it, this book did not let me down. It was beautiful and I wanted to be every part of it. In 3 days I finished Breaking Dawn and however much I am kicking myself for that now, I am looking forward to reading it all over again!! Stephenie Meyer not only knew how to capture my attention and hold it there but drew me into a world that I could not forget about through out my day to day life. I am in my late 20's and have / would recommend the 4 books to any age group who enjoy true passion for love and life. Am only sad that the story is now over. I could only hope that maybe Stephenie Meyer would come up with a story of Reneesme & Jacob, cause no matter how old I would be at this time I would run to buy it. If you are a young girl at heart who loves to lose themselves in a mystical fantasy of true passion then this is the book to go for. Am finding it very hard to locate a book that is anywhere near as good as Stephenie Meyer.

The holes are gaping.
Breaking Dawn (Twilight Saga)
This isn't hate filled or Psychotic like some others However my point is that the holes in her writing ability as so much more prominent thatn they were in the first 3 books.
I also belive that this book has been written so badly becasue SM has been so desperate be over and done with the whole Twilight saga...
Anyone else think so?

What's the point?
Admittedly I read New Moon before Twilight, but that wasn't my fault. I came to love the series of books, begging my mum (I'm only 13) to buy me each book practically as soon as it came out. Yet Breaking Dawn came as a disappointment.

The first two books in Breaking Dawn I enjoyed, yet when Bella opened her eyes to immortality I was a little disappointed. Where was the main excitement in it? Renesmee is fine and dandy, Jacob is staying with the Cullens for as long as he lives, and Bella has exceptional self-control, so she can still see Charlie. And as for the 'fight' with the Volturi, where was the grand battle? Where was the bloodshed? They just ran away with their tails in between their legs.

I found that everything was too fine and dandy, all happy and jolly. It was almost definitely rushed, like in the moments before class starts and you haven't completed the homework. Whether this was Stephenie Meyer's fault or ATOM's it doesn't matter. The book was definitely ended wrong.

I want another book - one that ends not all jolly and joyful but on a sad note, one where someone dies. Whether it be Bella, Charlie, Jacob or Renesmee, I want some form of carnage.
