The Greatest Book Series ever!! September 6, 2008 This book is amazing!!! I love the chemistry between Bella and Edward for they are just too intense. Once you are done reading this book it leaves you wanting more and lucky for us there are 3 more books after this!! I would have to place this book up in my top five :) Buy this Book for you will not be sorry that you did.
Fun Read September 6, 2008 This is a great, fun read. While it is marketed as a teen book, it has mass appeal. It's been a long time since I read something that I just couldn't put down. This one keeps me up late at night. Sweet, funny, charming, and a tad mysterious...good stuff.

This book must be amazing.....my daughter read it in one day, without putting it down!
Not for adults September 6, 2008 I am an educator, so I wanted to read this book because I heard it was very popular with teens. I found it to be very slow and had less character development than I would like considering it seemed to be character driven. The action finally picked up at the very,very end, hooking the reader to buy the next book.
Vampires? Teen's who really know what they want? Nah! September 5, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
So, OK, I read that this series was as popular with tweens and teens as the Potter books. I read the first one. Won't read the rest [though will probably go see the movie based on Twilight.] I've been around too many teens and too many tweens for way too long to be able to feel comfortable with the characterization of the protagonist. She may be in love, but I've not yet had the honor of meeting a girl that willing to endure pain and distancing from her peers. . . even though she is a LONER. [Her individuality is played up nicely, but the 9,000 or so I've known over the past 50 years, usually aren't as individualistic as they think.] She turns away from a loving father, a new place to live with new friends etc., and that is understandable given her non-prefrontal lobe development and age of 17, but to accept the physical and mental pain and stress is more than I can accommodate. I don't recommend this one. The writing seems a bit unpolished as well. Though I did like the imaginative details and set up of the vampires.
