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.

 Loved it! January 10, 2009
Alright. I was given this book. I was skeptical. I did not expect to like it.
Well, to my slight embarrassment - I LOVED it!
Sure, it's teens in love - but this a VAMPIRE and a teen in love!
At times I felt silly at how much I enjoyed the syrupy sweet sentiments and over-the-top emotions. But not everything you read has to be WAR & PEACE.
No, this book won't change your life but it will give you something fun to read (and now that it's paperback) for a very reasonable price.
And yes, I have already ordered the 2nd book in the series.
Live a little and add some Twilight to your life.
 A Must Have on Your Shelf January 10, 2009
I absolutely loved this book, and the whole series. I am now finishing Breaking Dawn, and listening to Twilight again on Audio. The love story between Edward and Bella is magical, and there were times I found myself not breathing as I read! This will be a book, and series, that I read over and over again all of my life.
A Twilight Treasure January 10, 2009

A phenomenon it is! So experience the story in a whole new sensation with an edition that is sure to give you satisfaction!
 pretty good book.. but lacking January 10, 2009
the night i borrowed this book from my neighbor i started reading it and finished it the next day. i liked it, i got lost in it and i couldn't put it down. isabella swann ( beautiful name), is 17 and she has moved to forks so her mother can be with her new husband. she falls in love with edward, who is a vampire. edward is beautiful and he sparkles. we get that and other verbs describing how perfect he is, but what is missing is bella's personality. what are her goals? what is her talent? can't she at least have some self-esteem? what makes edward fall in love with her? what is it about her other then her blood? some of things in the book are not based on facts. first of all, vampires cannot come out in the day, they don't sparkle, etc. some of the things in this book was unrealistic, but it is a fantasy. if you like damsels in distress, vampires and fantasy. you might like this book.
 Don't Bother January 9, 2009
I like almost every book I read, but I got so sick trying to read this book I literally threw it across the room. it was the part where after like 2 weeks of knowing each other they're talking about home much they love each other and edward talks about how much he wants to eat her. Edward is a creep in every way, vampire or not. he watches her, listens to her sleep-talk, tells her he wants to suck her blood, stalks her, reads her friends minds, and brings her into the woods alone. The stupidest part, though, is that she believes he is a vampire and doesn't even consider he could be a bad person because he is gorgeous. Um, wake up Bella, love isn't about how hot the guy is. And letting him sleep over? Really? That is asking to become the next girl on the news for a victim of sexual harrasment. The book is so slow and the setting is just weird. A green place called forks. I tried to, but I really don't see why people love this book so much. The characters are too fake and so is the naseating dialogue. and whoever her editor is should go get another job because since all the books are already out once people finish thjem theyre just forgotten. there is nowhere else for twilight to go. i suggest you don't buy this book and save a tree iunstead.
