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.
Bella 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, Bella'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 Bella, the person Edward holds most dear.
Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.
Product Description
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.

 A Strange Affair December 1, 2008
My affair with the Twilight Saga began precisly two days ago when I went to see the recently released movie. Then, being sick the next day, I downloaded the audio book, and, today, on a cold medicine run, I purchased the novel itself and finished it in 1 sitting aprox. 5 min ago.
That being said, this book has its pros and cons. For instance, the exsposition, when it at last came, left few other questions to be remaining, other than "Why Bella?" There are syntax-issues that I'm sure could be cleaned, a hail to Josh Weadon's Buffiverse with the nearby town of Port Angeles that I found more sad then anything else, and a slight problem with the perfection of Edward and the other Cullens in the first half of the novel. Pros, however, are many. It is an intruging novel, with many, many unquie possibilites in the love affair of a "Vegitarian" vampire with an utterly normal teenage girl. While defintatly a teenage girl novel, the story itself is a classic one of forbidden love, a la Adam and Eve more than Romeo and Juliet, with a unique twist that grows more engrossing with each step into the Cullen's world. Nonetheless, I do not foresee this book becoming a classic, although it is a great read, and give it only 3 of 5.
 Awesome!!! December 1, 2008
I began reading the novel(s) shortly after I saw the film. I have since seen the film twice now and I'm deeply fascinated with the overly excited novels. Now this is coming from a person who would rather see movies instead of read. Stephanie's "Twilight" kept me turning page after page. I have since moved on to the next "New Moon" and practically regretting that I'm getting closer to the end of the book. The story between Edward, Bella, and Jacob keeps my heart jumping around and by stomach twirling for the next paragraph. I have found myself staying up later and later becoming sadden because I will have to put the book away and return to it the following night. I have gotten my husband (who also doesn't read) to read the novel and he himself cannot escape the excitement that continues throughout the novel. For all you "bad" raters, this book is not a bad read at all but maybe this just wasn't for you. For the rest of you who want to feel your body reacting to the novel, you'll be wishing you were one of Stephanie's "Twilight" characters yourself. I have since researched the author Stephanie to see what other novels she may write. Please, this novel is worth the read!!!

I loved this book and also the rest of the series. I am re-reading it now. The characters are very well written and are mostly endearing.

It's not what I expected. I am a true vampire book reader and I found this book quite boring and hard to get through. After reading Christine Feehan, LA Banks, Laurel Hamilton and Anne Rice this book cannot even compare. Add to the fact that they are teenagers and there is no vampire erotica to look forward to because they are kids. I am struggling to get through this book andI don't see what all the hype is about. I can't see myself buying the next books in the series because this one is not holding my interest.
Loved it! December 1, 2008
