The book that started the phenomenon is now available in a deluxe collector's edition! Featuring a ribbon bookmark, cloth cover, ragged edges, new chapter opener designs, and a beautiful protective slipcase, this edition is perfect for fans and collectors alike.
Bella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Bella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Bella, the person Edward holds most dear.
Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.
Product 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. . . .
Deeply seductive and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight will have readers riveted right until the very last page is turned.

 comparison January 8, 2009
Well read by the narrator. You will probably catch something you may have missed when reading this book. Listening is much more engaging for the imagination.
 Amazing book January 8, 2009
I thought this was a wonderful book. Stephenie Meyer created a modern day Romeo & Juliet story. I could not put this book down. I even recommended this to friends who are not avid readers and they were hooked as well. Everyone seems to compare these books to the Harry Potter series. The stories are completely different. The only similarity to the HP series is the target audience. That's about it. I loved Harry Potter but it's a completely different type of story and should not be compared. Twilight is one of the best books I have read in a long time. I thought Stephenie's writing was imaginitive and speaks to a wide variety of age groups (not just the teen readers). This is not your typical vampire story. I liked the fact that it was not about vampires preying on humans. The Cullens are a family of vampires trying to fit into the human society (feeding not on humans but animals to survive). The main story obviously is Edward falling in love with a human girl, Bella. Edward and Bella are two people who are not supposed to be together but cannot be apart because they truly love each other. True soul mates fighting to be together.
Only romantics can properly review this series! January 8, 2009
As someone always looking for a good book, I was shocked that I hadn't heard of this series until the movie trailers. Against all precedence, I saw the movie first. With prices today, I NEVER see a movie twice at the theater, but I did this one. I'm a mother of two nearly teenagers, and I placed their lives (and dinners) on hold while I read through the entire 4 book series. I can honestly say this is one of the best series I have ever read. One just simply cannot acknowledge that the book is for young audiences and then criticize it for those qualities! (are they averse to a clean, romantic love story?) Savor this series and then recommend it to anyone without reservation for offensive parts. How many books can you say that about? Thank you so much Stephenie Meyer!
Fun Read January 8, 2009
Twilight is one of those books I can pick up and literally just not put down. I never really was that interested in vampires to begin with, but when I was told to give it a try by one of my friends I didn't regret it.
Yeah sure, the writing is a little simple and corny and times but I think that's one of the reasons a liked it so much. Sometimes reading classic literature can get boring or stiff and sometimes you just want to read something that's almost like a guilty pleasure, something to just take you away from your boring day, because to be honest what girl doesn't want their own Edward Cullen?
Twilight is exciting and has a little of everything in it. If your looking for something fun to read then I defiantly suggest Twilight.
Looovveeeddd!! January 8, 2009
I'm in love with this book, I just can't put it down!! Can't wait to read the others!!
