great love story

A truly great love story. I have grown to love the connection betrween bella and edward and envy there there love even if it formed way to fast. The action really dosen't take off till the end of the book when the bad guys come in to play. All in all this book my favoite love story and on my top 5 list. great read!


G-rated romance novel with Vampires and Werewolves

Finally, a romance novel that I'm not embarassed to share with my teen daughter! I very much appreciate that this book goes no further than a "PG" rating with its descriptions. This book is much more interesting than any other fictional romance novel I've read, though it does adhere to the 'romance novel code' of "damsel in distress is saved repeatedly by the Hero(es)." The heroes in this book are supernatural, and the characters are well developed, making it more interesting than your average read. While there are some tender moments, there is plenty of exciting action too. I learned stuff about the Pacific Northwest I never knew, also. The book does start out sort of slow, so give it a few chapters before you give up.

Twilight audio book

I loved this book so much the first read, I had to get the audio book to lesson to while I did my house work and just to make sure that I read everything in the book with the same passon and expression. I wasn't at all disapponited. I have the all three books (twilight, new moon, and eclipse) on audio book and will buy both the book and audio book of breaking dawn (the 4th book) when it comes out.






A great teen book

This is one of the best teen books I've read in a long time. Unlike the average young adult literature, it was not a very clichéd or predictable book. I picked this book up at my library looking for something to pass the time and was unable to put it down once I started reading. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for something different, not just teens.

"Softly he brushed my cheek, then held my face between his marble hands. ''Be very still,'' he whispered, as if I wasn''t already frozen. Slowly, never moving his eyes from mine, he leaned toward me. Then abruptly, but very gently, he rested his cold cheek against the hollow at the base of my throat." As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because--he''s a vampire. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonizes over the danger. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship.Meyer has achieved quite a feat by making this scenario completely human and believable. She begins with a familiar YA premise (the new kid in school), and lulls us into thinking this will be just another realistic young adult novel. Bella has come to the small town of Forks on the gloomy Olympic Peninsula to be with her father. At school, she wonders about a group of five remarkably beautiful teens, who sit together in the cafeteria but never eat. As she grows to know, and then love, Edward, she learns their secret. They are all rescued vampires, part of a family headed by saintly Carlisle, who has inspired them to renounce human prey. For Edward''s sake they welcome Bella, but when a roving group of tracker vampires fixates on her, the family is drawn into a desperate pursuit to protect the fragile human in their midst.The precision and delicacy of Meyer''s writing lifts this wonderful novel beyond the limitations of the horror genre to a place among the best of YA fiction.(Ages 12 and up)
