About this book
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.

I usually do not read books labeled \"young adult.\" I am an adult, many years away from being young, (except at heart!!), and, with a few exceptions, i.e., the Harry Potter novels and \"Where the Wild Fern Grows,\" I read literature for grown-ups. To my delight Stephenie Meyer has created an extraordinary young adult series - which I love (!!) - \"The Twilight Series.\" \"Twilight\" is also the title of book one. And what original, delightful novels these are - even for someone who prefers...

When was the Golden Age of Science Fiction? The late 1930s to the 1950s, when science fiction became widely popular and many classic science fiction stories were published. The joke answer is that the Golden age of Science Fiction is 14, the age when many science fiction readers become fans. I know I read my first scifi when I was 13 or 14 so maybe they are right. Lately scifi fandom, in which I include not just the fans but writers, podcasters and publishers, want to catch the next generation...

Let me start by explaining a bit about me and the way I look at books. I have a master's degree in literature. I read a lot of books, but I judge books according to what they purport to be. I love James Joyce's Ulysses, but I also love the Twilight series--for entirely different reasons. I am more than a little perturbed by reviewers who, for lack of a better term, I'll call literature snobs. Who have developed some arrogant literary paradigm for what a book should be in their heads and so...

I'm so glad to have a physical copy of this novel again, as I lost my original. This series is certainly problematic in many ways. I'd consider it a guilty pleasure read and not an example of healthy romantic love. However, especially for those of us who felt as if we did not fit in anywhere growing up, this book is easy to fall into and instantly love. It's very easy to read and extremely difficult to put down, especially the first time through. I remember when and where I was when I read it...

Although I have read many vampire romances, both for adults and young adults, none of them have moved me as deeply as the books of The Twilight Saga, the first of which remains my favorite. The poignant, bittersweet tone of the writing, the wonderfully depicted characters, indeed, the story itself, have made me a lifelong fan! Isabella Swan, usually known as Bella, leaves her beloved, sunny Phoenix for what she sees as the depressing, rain-drenched atmosphere of Forks, a town in the state of...
