Editorial Review:
Isabella 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, Isabella'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 Isabella, the person Edward holds most dear. The lovers find themselves balanced precariously on the point of a knife-between desire and danger. Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.-
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.

A compelling Romance with Sci-Fi Flavor: 
I'm not part of the Teenage crowd (31year old mother of triplets), but to be fair Sci-Fi is my genre of choice, and that being said, this book fits in nicely with my tastes. I'm a sucker for a bit of the unusual mixed in with a nice Romance, and this book delivers.
Twilight is the compelling tale told from the perspective of an unlikely heroine, Isabella Swan, who moves to the rainy town of Fork in the Pacific Northwest to live with her father. Bella was never something special, she's akward, clumsy,...more info
Good Read if You're a 13 yo Girl.: 
Very easy read. The story moves along at a fairly good pace. I only read this book because I wanted to see what all the "hype" was about for myself, but was a bit disappointed. Readers of the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice will find this (for the lack of a better word) "weak".
A great read! Who cares what's "appropriate" for teens, really?:
I read Twilight just after seeing the movie. Being 30 years old, I hadn't heard of it earlier. I didn't think I would add my own to review to the already long list of them for this book until I began to glance through others' reviews which I found frustrating. Many reviewers have focused on the book's relative "appropriateness" for teens and problems in the author's characterization of her protagonists. I won't add another plot summary, but I have included some spoilers.

Are you guys serious?: 
I don't get it. I just don't get it. I thought young adult fiction had hit its low point with Eragon, but apparently I was wrong. Bella Swan (literally, "beautiful swan," which should be a red flag to any discerning reader) moves to the rainy town of Forks, and the whining begins on page 1. She goes to live with her father Charlie, and is quickly established to be a mopey, ungrateful, self-pitying little toerag. Bella then attends her new school, which turns out to be an all-out caricature of high school...more info
