This is an AMAZING book. Stephenie Meyer is an excellent writter, she flows amazingly and is very easy to read. This book has me FURIOUSLY turning the pages wanting more and more. This is one of those books that you become so engrossed in, that you forget that what you are reading is actually a book, and not reality. I would rate this book well series, right up there with Harry Potter. I would suggest this book to teenager and adult a-like. I finished this book on January 4th and today it is January 7th and I'm just starting the 3rd book of the series. I literally can NOT put these books down. She will capture you attention from the first sentence you read and you want to read read read and never stop. I do believe I have fallen in love with Edward myself, and many characteristics in Bella I find in myself. Meyer's writing makes you SEE what the characters SEE and truly FEEL what the characters are FEELING. After all, isn't that what good writing is supposed to do?

Even though I am a 30-something female, I must say I LOVED IT!! I read lots and lots ... and this is one of the best I have read in a long time!



Ashley (USA: OH) (2009/02/02):
this is my favorite of the Twilight Saga. I feel they gradually get worse as you go on, but that's just my opinion. originally bought in paperback and recently bought it in hardcover to go with the last three I own.

I'm in my late 20's and just discovered the Twilight Series after (forcibly) watching the Twilight movie by my 14year old sister lol. But since picking up the first book of the saga I have not been able to put it down and have continued on to read all 4 published books PLUS the unpublished "Midnight Sun" on Stephanie Meyer's website. Yes, I admit, I AM obsessed!!! haha.

Although some reviews have stated that the books are not "well written" I have to counter this with the fact that Meyer just gives so much LIFE to her characters and you can't help but just fall in love with them all and feel them come to life in your minds eye - and to me that's what matters the most... and is THE REASON why her books are loved world wide.

I discovered this book from a friend, and was initially uninterested because it was about vampires. But as I read the first couple chapters, I became addicted to see what would happen. It is definitely a page turner. I would recommend it to women, teens especially. Stephenie Meyer is the American J.K. Rowling!



Nikki (USA) (2009/04/13):
I LOVE Twilight!!! I thought it was a great read, it had me hooked from the first few pages. I have to say it is one of my all time favortie books, and will probably read it again!



Allison (she/her) (USA: TX) (2009/04/25):
I was initially quite taken with this series, as I was curious to find out how the story would unfold. Upon reflection, however, I have become very concerned that this series will give young female readers unrealistic expectations about love and relationships.



maristelle (Philippines) (2009/05/10):
I loved it. Super. I was never really that interested in vampires,but twilight got me. CAN ANYONE RESERVE ONE COPY FOR ME?

Cover a little bent on the corners. scratched on the edges a bit. first few pages bent at the corners, but not much, maybe a cementer, even less.

I put off reading this series because it was a "Vampire book". lol I am generally not big into vampires, but that was before Edward. I have to say the "It's not a vampire book. It's a love story." was true. I was very impressed with Mrs Meyer's writing. I was even more shocked that I was reading a YA book. So if you haven't read Twilight then shame on you.lol! I will say that I made it nicely through "New Moon" (2nd) until last half of book then it dragged for me. I despised Eclipse until the very end. I did enjoy the last book Breaking Dawn but not nearly as much as Twilight! I must also say I wish they had put a little more thought, effort, and time into making the movie. They didn't capitalize on some of the sweetest and best parts that make this such a wonderful love story, but what do I know anyway.hehe



Doory (USA: IL) (2009/07/21):
I sat down and read this in a day without stopping. It reads a lot faster than you would think.



Amanda & Melissa (USA: MI) (2009/08/07):
I'm a teen and L.O.V.E Twilight!-though I didn't think I would.

I'd seen the books in Borders a lot and I saw a couple ppl at my school reading the book and at first I had no clue what it was about.

My exchange student form Belgium got the first book and told me what it was about. At first I didn't think I would like it because it was about Vampire's and I'd never read anything like it before. but a couple months after she bought it i decided to give it a try.

After I read Twilight I was hooked! I flew through the series and bought Breaking Dawn as soon as it came out.-Which I finished in 21 hours of non-stop reading.

I'd have to say Twilight and Breaking Dawn were my favorites of the whole series. my third favorite was Eclipse, and i really didn't like New Moon.

Go Stephanie Meyer!
(The Host rocks too!)

I really really like this book.Sometimes i wish i can be in the cullen family.I reread this book lots of times,because i really like it!



MasterBleh (USA: MO) (2009/10/03):
This is quite possibly one of the worst books I've ever read. AND the worst ten bucks spent. Ever. I can't wait to ship this one off. I've seen picture books with better plots and more realistic characters.



Valerie (USA: OH) (2009/11/01):
I picked this up because I was worried about what my daughter was reading. It was before the epidemic of twilight fever, so I knew nothing about the series. I couldn't put it down. Not only did I completely enjoy the read, but I loved talking about the story and underlying themes with my daughter. Since it became so popular, it created expectations that are simply out of control. It's a wonderful book from an inspiring author and I'm ready to read it again.



Brittany (USA: OH) (2009/12/31):
You know,they say these book are for teens BUT I am 24 years old and I enjoyed them very well. I know plenty of adults who have also enjoyed them.
In fact I'm kinda worried I wont find any book better then this series.
Anyone know of any books that might be worthy enough to say they are as good as the twilight series??...



Avigail (Israel) (2010/02/22):
This is a book well worth reading and an absolute MUST for fans of themes revolving around vampires. I was hooked right away from the first page. What is so remarkable about this book is that the author incorporates such realistic themes into the story that it is hard to discern the fantasy elements. The author touches on everyday teenager topics such as moving to a new town, fitting in to a new school, and falling in love.
The author does a GREAT, great job of portraying the vampire world in a totally new light; the vampires of this story are so intriguing!
I would consider "Twilight" to be mostly a love story, and let me tell you, an absolutely breathtaking one! Edward and Bella's love is one that transcends all time.



Kristen Wallen (USA: CT) (2010/07/21):
Twilight was a very good book, but I think it would be better if Edward didn't sparkle. I think it would've made the book a little better.



JW (USA: NC) (2010/10/06):
I didn't like this book at all. I found it boring. The few interesting characters were side characters. It read like bad Buffy fanfiction, and the author had decided to throw out all the redeeming elements of feminism. I used to like Amelia Atwater-Rhodes' books, which were similar in many ways, and I definitely don't like this kind of teenaged Mary Sue any longer.



Amanda<33 (USA: FL) (2010/10/09):
When I read this book, I LOVED it, and read the whole series. I was Team Edward the whole way... but now I realize that it was pretty poorly written, as I read this series a few years back. However, this still remains one of my favorites, simply beacuase any book that I read and enjoyed WHILE READING it, becomes one of my all-time faves. :P

I did really like the Host by Stephenie Meyer a lot better, because the audience is more adult-based.



Tiffany Moran (Ireland) (2010/10/24):
First time I read this book, I was obseesed, Team Jacob all the way! (Still am but, shh!)
Now, I just find it childish and 2-demensional. It was a great concept that could have been taken a lot further and made a lot better. For a first attempt at a book though, it is pretty good. Here's hoping Stephenie Meyer can continue to improve!
