I love me a good vampire book and this series is great. Yes, its the story of a "teenage" vampire (17 in human years, 109 in vampire years) and his...um...human girlfriend. I know, I know. But it's sooooo goooood. The whole series is the story of the Cullens, an adopted family of vampires who choose to live among humans instead of feed on them. They live in a small rainy town and all is well until Bella Swan arrives. There's a reason so many people are so obsessed with these books. They are highly imaginative and very well written. It's a vampire story like none you've ever read. And there are werewolves. Oh yeah. If you decide to read Twilight, do yourself a favor and buy the whole series. Otherwise you'll finish Twilight in one sitting, it will be 2:00 am and the next thing you know, you'll be in your car looking for a 24 hour Target. Trust me.

This is where it all begins.
Bella Swan moves to Forks where she falls in sync with all of the cool kids on her first day of school. There is the typical damsel in distress and school girl crushes complete with corny lines that should never be spoken aloud.
I've read Twilight dozens of times and have introduced Edward to all of my friends. I recommend going to Stephenie Meyer's website and reading Midnight Sun, written from Edward's point of view. Then, read Twilight again. It adds depth to the story and the supporting characters.
A light, easy read.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book - all the characters were so vivid and engaging - you need to allow time to read it as you won't want to put it down!

I am not a vampire sort of person but this book hooked me onto her series and now I am on a waiting list at our library for book 3 - this book is great and the author has such a unique writing style I wish I could explain it better - she's definetly one of the best I've ever read!
