Nothing like Harry Potter; Meyer has written a new work of art August 17, 2008

This book was beautiful from the first page all the way to the last.
I love Stephanie's writing stile & her characters, although creations of fiction feel like they could be real people. If you get this book, get the others from the series, definitely worth adding to your home book collection.
A MUST read August 17, 2008

I did not want to read this young adult book about vampires let alone LOVE it! I read all 4 books in the series within a matter of a week; I was addicted.
When it comes down to it, this is a love story... star crossed lovers I guess you could say. The vampire aspect plays into it, but it is not about creatures in the night feasting on humans. It focuses on the development of the relationship between the vampire (Edward) and the new human in town (Bella). He's the epitomy of the perfect man (except he's not... a man that is), and she's the ordinary girl.
 URGH August 17, 2008
That's pretty much sum up my opinion about this book. It's way too boring, schmaltzy and shallow. I can't agree more with the first reviewer that this book is a huge disappointment. I bought it out of curiosity since people have been giving it so many praises and compliments. I should have followed my instinct after flipping through chapter 1. It seemed dull, I thought, but I bought it anyway. After 1/3 the book, the only motivation that kept me going 'till the end was to see how much more the story could suck. Bella is annoying, Edward is boring and very Mary Sue. Great combination for the lead couples! Their sappy moments gave me goosebumps and toothache, not to mention.
And please don't say that the reason I don't enjoy the book because I'm not a teenager and I can't understand how love is to a teenager or crap like that. I am barely out of teenhood and I usually love romantic teen books with some action elements thrown in, however, I just can't dig anything in Twilight.
If there was something like zero star rating, I would give it to this book.
Not Just for Teens August 17, 2008

I initially read this book to see what the hoopla was all about. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this. I believe that any woman could appreciate the story of a young girl (17) and her first love. Sure, our first loves were not vampires, but that doesn't make it any less nostalgic. Stephenie Meyer did a great job of writing this story in a way that grips you in and makes you truely feel for the characters. As I was reading, I could feel the inner torment Edward felt towards his relationship with Bella. I could understand why this was a such a difficult relationship for both of them, but why they couldn't fathom the idea of being apart. This is the first book of a remarkable series! Overall, I would tell you not to dwell on the fact that it is located in the Teen Fiction section. Pick it up and give it a try, you'll be pleasantly surprised!
