Product Description:
'Softly he brushed my cheek, then held my face between his marble hands. ''Be very still,'' he whispered, as if I wasn''t already frozen. Slowly, never moving his eyes from mine, he leaned toward me. Then abruptly, but very gently, he rested his cold cheek against the hollow at the base of my throat. ' As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because--he''s a vampire. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonizes over the danger. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship.Meyer has achieved quite a feat by making this scenario completely human and believable. She begins with a familiar YA premise (the new kid in school), and lulls us into thinking this will be just another realistic young adult novel. Bella has come to the small town of Forks on the gloomy Olympic Peninsula to be with her father. At school, she wonders about a group of five remarkably beautiful teens, who sit together in the cafeteria but never eat. As she grows to know, and then love, Edward, she learns their secret. They are all rescued vampires, part of a family headed by saintly Carlisle, who has inspired them to renounce human prey. For Edward''s sake they welcome Bella, but when a roving group of tracker vampires fixates on her, the family is drawn into a desperate pursuit to protect the fragile human in their midst. The precision and delicacy of Meyer''s writing lifts this wonderful novel beyond the limitations of the horror genre to a place among the best of YA fiction. (Ages 12 and up)
Amazon.com Review:
The book that started the phenomenon is now available in a deluxe collector's edition! Featuring a ribbon bookmark, cloth cover, ragged edges, new chapter opener designs, and a beautiful protective slipcase, this edition is perfect for fans and collectors alike.
Bella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Bella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Bella, the person Edward holds most dear.
Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.

Rating:  - Good, but short, and lacking
First off, let me say that if you read this, you need to read at least books 2 & 3 or the first book won't make sense as to where the plotline is going & how she ended the book.
I was really able to get right in to this book & read it straight through in one sitting. It had the pull that made it feel near impossible to put the book down at the end of any of the chapters to take a break. The end of each chapter ended on such a note as to make you highly curious about what ... Read More

I saw the movie and could hardly wait to read the book. I wasn't disappointed either, the book was even better than the movie. I would recommend it to any fantasy reader.
Rating: - You gotta read it!!
This book is so amazing!Even though he is just a book character and now a character in a movie you fall totally and completely in L-O-V-E love with Edward Cullen. When he is described you just wish he truly exsisted. you want to be with him you want him to touch you fall in love with you. Stephenie Meyer wrote this amazing story!!!!
Rating: - Twilight
I LOVE THIS BOOK. Well, actually, I love the entire series. I have read Twilight 4 times. It was such a great read, that it only took me a day and a half to read the entire book. (if that) I couldn't put it down. I purchased the other three books maybe 2 weeks later. It took me a week to read the other 3. I loved them all. You really can't get one, and not get the others. I almost didn't get New Moon because of some bad reviewes. I'm glad I chose to see for myself. It's all about personal preference. ... Read More
