Book Description:
"About three things I was absolutely positive.
First, Edward was a vampire.
Second, there was a part of him--and I didn't know how dominant that part might be--that thirsted for my blood.
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him."

“I'D NEVER GIVEN MUCH THOUGHT TO HOW I WOULD DIE- I'd had reason enough in the last few months -but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this... Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of something else, someone I loved. Noble, even. That ought to count for something.”

When Isabella Swan moves to the gloomy town of Forks and meets the mysterious, alluring Edward Cullen, her life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. With his porcelain skin, golden eyes, mesmerizing voice, and supernatural gifts, Edward is both irresistible and impenetrable. Up until now, he has managed to keep his true identity hidden, but Bella is determined to uncover his dark secret.

What Bella doesn't realize is the closer she gets to him, the more she is putting herself and those around her at risk. And, it might be too late to turn back...

The book is read by Ilyana Kadushin, who has a very nice voice. I read the book a couple of times before I bought the audio CD and the way she read the book was entirely different from how I understood the book. There's something off about the way she reads it, like she is off on her comedic timing and hasn't quite mastered the art of sarcasm. That's the best way I can explain it.

Another thing that bothers me is the way she mispronounces "Quileute" in the first half of the book. Somewhere towards the end, she corrects it.

It is still a good story, but doesn't even begin to reach the quality I've enjoyed with Jim Dale and Harry Potter.

The first half of this audio CD is unbeatable. It's engaging, engrossing, and I didn't want to stop listening - this young lady's life was getting stranger and stranger...and speaking of stranger, this strange young man, Edward, was consuming my thoughts! Meyer revealed *just* enough information about him at just the right times to keep the story together.

The second half was terrible - the story devolved into a cheesy teen romance where every other sentence was "I love you," and "Are you okay?" Icky.

The reader was okay - her voice was believable enough as an older teen, but the way she pronounced "Bella" had to be one of the most annoying sounds I've ever heard. She basically whispered the name each time she said it, I suppose in an attempt to make it sound magical or something. It didn't; and on the whole, the story wasn't.

This was absolutely exquisite! My inner teenage girl is all gooey with pleasure!

Oh, and I think Ilyana Kadushin, the narrator of the audio version, must be Bella Swan's stage name. Her reading as Bella is perfect.

This book was ok, very cheesy and gets slow in a lot of parts.
