 Addicting July 23, 2008
I heard about this book and how it had vampires and teen drama intertwined so I knew I had to read it and I was not disappointed. It is amazing how Bella and Edwards relationship develops into such an amazing adventure. I don't know how anyone can not like this book or the series. I would defiently recommend reading new moon eclipse and soon to be released Breaking Dawn. I have never gotten so addicted to any series ever. Twilight is amazing and a movie for the book is out in December. You won't be disappointed!
Masterpiece! July 23, 2008
This is a masterpiece not only because it came from a talented author but also because it was all started from a dream. The hard work that Stephenie Meyer has put into this saga has really paid off to be completely honest. I was at first a bit hesitant to read `Twilight' however, once I started it was like; I became completely glued to the world of `Twilight',
And not to mention the beautiful world of Forks. Now that I have finished `Twilight', I am moving onto `New Moon', which is starting to glue me to its little web of reality vs. fantasy.
If I could recommend any book in the world, this would be the book. In addition, if I could say something to Stephenie Meyer at this moment I would say... `Keep up the great work; never let anything knock you down. This is your work and your dream; continue to live it and continue to write, from one author to another; great job!'

Refreshing July 22, 2008
I have to say, I was apprehensive about reading the Twilight series, as I tend to stay away from any hype, but my cousin talked me into it, and I have to say I'm impressed. I've been reading vampire novels for years, from Bram Stoker to Anne Rice, I've read them all, and Twilight takes the best elements of vampires and blew them away. It's not just for girls either, as can be seen by my review. I was getting bored with vampires being portrayed as intricate, but ultimately just blood-sucking monsters. The Cullen family has brought new life to a fantasy being that has intrigued me almost as much as dragons, and that says something. I look forward to reading the rest of the series, quietly away from the hype and fans. A definite must read.
Skeptic turned fan July 22, 2008

I was initially very skeptical of this series, as I knew it was marketed to the young adult ages, and as I am well past that, I thought it would be too juvenile for me. But, having been sucked into the Harry Potter series amid similar skepticism I decided to give it a try after several friends recommended it to me. While it is clearly geared towards the high school age, adults will enjoy the book as well. Sure, it's not the highest quality of writing and maybe isn't destined to be classic literature but it is a greatly entertaining read and the love story is fascinating. I have to admit I'm a fan of vampire stories, and was a big fan of both Buffy and Angel on tv. This is a very interesting re-take on the vampire legend, and a great star-crossed lovers plot. I highly recommend it to all ages. I devoured this book in a day and read the next two in the series at a similar pace. I'm now highly anticipating the fourth book, and am really looking forward to the movie version hitting the big screen at the end of the year.
 Sappy, syrupy and silly! July 22, 2008

Anne Rice this is NOT. Too full of teenage angst, unrealistic characters and the short burst of suspense near the end was just a little too neatly and quickly dealt with. Unless you are under the age of 18, mentally or physically, I suggest you skip this bit of froth.
