Search - Twilight (Twilight, Bk 1)

1st book the series - awesome! I loved reading a paranormal romance without all the explicit (and often un-necessary) sex. I could not stop reading. I have read the 2nd book New Moon and am waiting for the 3rd book this fall (Eclipse) & intend to buy it the moment it is released. 5 stars ***** My fave series!!!

Past all the hype with this series, you'll find something not quite fleshed out. It suffers from a Mary Sue type main character (meaning a stereotypical, un-fleshed character that the reader can easily envision their self in), and the writing in general is not all that. But Meyer does manage to put a neat little twist to the world of vampies, and Edward is THE perfect man for any woman, and that is the main reason this series is doing so well. It's a fun read if you can get over how simple and stereotypical of a "romance novel" it is. Just don't expect a fantastic example of literature.

Even though it is classified as a Young Adult book, I found it really enjoyable. And the romantic scenes are harmless, I would easily give it to my 12 yo to read as well.

I thought this was an amazing book, even if the plot of new-girl-in-town falls in love with the loner vampire is slightly over used. Wonderfully detailed descriptions and new takes on the cliche subject make this book 100% worthwhile.
Once I opened the cover I was captivated, I read this whole book in one night.

After hearing rave reviews about this series from a Mommy friend of mine, I decided to give it a try. Up until pretty much the end of the book, I found the whole thing unrealistic (aside from the vampire part) and slow. The main character is so far from acting like a typical teenager that it's bizarre. I had to force myself to finish the book, and have no desire to see what happens in the future with these characters. I read that this is going to be a movie, and maybe it will be a little more lively and vibrant on the screen, but unless you just adore vampire novels, you might want to check out something else.

I've heard many good things about this book, but I wasn't sure if it would live up to the expectations. It took me about halfway to really get into it, but once I did, I couldn't put it down. It might not be the best book I've read this year, but it was definitely very enjoyable, and I'm looking forward to reading the sequel.

My cousin told me that I absolutely HAD to read the Twilight series. I bought Twilight and started it one night and I read it all the way through before falling to sleep that night. I could not put it down, the pages flew by... I am now officially obsessed with the series. I was skeptical at first because I never hopped on the Harry Potter bandwagon and it looked like Twilight and Harry Potter went hand in hand everywhere I looked.

It has easily become my fave book of all time. :) After finishing Eclipse (the 3rd book in the series), I actually began re-reading Twilight while waiting for the 4th and final book in the series, Breaking Dawn.

Stephenie Meyer has created LOVEABLE characters that you care about as you read the books. The way she's written the book you can visualize each and every moment like you are there watching it happen.

I could not rave anymore. I've basically told everyone I know they need to read the book and I am counting down the days until book 4 drops on Aug 2nd, and I'm def. looking forward to the movie in Dec.

Anyone who loves vampire novels would LOVE this book, maybe even obsess about it as much as the rest of us Twilighters. ;)

Absolutely loved this book. It was a spur of the moment choice at t he library and I am so glad I grabbed it. I just may buy for keeps.

I grabbed this book on a whim and a nudge from my nearly grown daughter who knows I love a good vampire story. I read this book in less than 24 hours. I could not put it down. I immediately went out and bought book two and will definitely read 3 and 4.

I think this series is great, especially for the teen reader. There is romance, yes, but there is no explicit sex as in some other series, which makes it a great read for all ages.

Stephenie Meyer is an amazing writer. The first few chapters draw you in slowly, but then after that, you will be completely absorbed. I read it in a day, the second one in the series, New Moon, in two days. You will love this writer, and her deft symmetry and allegory. Enjoy!

I love these books the like a drug you cant put down because you want to know what happens.

The book moves along quickly and the storyline is interesting. I'm on the 4th book in the series and have enjoyed it all.
