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.

Enchanting Romance.....
I was intrigued at the widespread interest in this book, over the years my interest grew and I had to find out what all the excitement was. I had no idea what to expect from this young adult book, I was pleasantly surprised! I must admit what I noticed at the core of this story is 'Romance', which I did not expect. It reminds me of my school days and longing to see the boy you like, there is a lot of this in the book, which is fun and enjoyable!

The story is mainly about Bella and a vampire she meets named Edward, although she does not know what he is to begin with and their ping-pong dialogue whilst she trys to find out is captivating! The book moves at a steady pace and keeps your interest, the emotions the author catches in Bella's feelings for Edward are breathtaking,it made my eyes water!

The history of Edwards vampire family is interesting and believable.....The story is not full of action, or blood sucking, you are watching a relationship develop...to set the scene for the future books and the scene is set perfectly!
By reading this book you can clearly see Bella is in for a ride with her new vampire love and all the problems that could await....

' A girl in love with a boy... and the boy 'vampire' struggling with what is right and 'safe' for his new love'
I cant wait to see the story develop and I am eagerly awaiting New Moon!

Brilliant *****
The moment I picked this book up, I was hooked! It is written in such a way that you want to keep reading to find out what's going to happen next. I'm 16 and I do however believe that this book is best to be read by teenage girls because it captures the way a girl can fall for a guy and the emotions she goes through. So if there's a bad review then i expect it has been written by someone who this book isn't neccessarily aimed at. It brings such a bizarre context into someone's everyday life and makes you believe that it's not an impossible thing to happen. I would seriously reccommend this book to teenage girls, i thoroughly enjoyed reading it and can't wait to read the next one!!

Mesmerizing!
After the final Harry Potter book came out, I didn't know what to do in terms of reading a series of books. The other day my friend was sitting on our school field reading a book, something which she normally doesn't do. I asked what she was reading and she said, 'Twilight! It's absolutely amazing! You'll love it, you must get it!' So I took her advice and bought it.
I didn't quite realise how much I would love it! I've become obsessed with it in a matter of days! I couldn't put it down!
The growing relationship between Bella and Edward is beautiful. The way in which she describes Bella's feelings for Edward has the reader falling in love with him as much as she is!
Her book captures the intensity of forbidden love and sexual tension and has the reader hooked from the first page!
This is the meaning of the word 'page-turner'!
My only regre is that I didn't buy the sequels at the same time! I'm sitting here impatientely for them to come through the post!
Brilliant for anyone who wants a brilliant new series to read!
Outstanding!
