Product Description

Review

'The sexiest vampire tale for years arrived in Stephenie Meyer's TWILIGHT, about teenage Bella's chaste romance with a beautiful vampire boy. Their intensely erotic feelings are endangered by more predatory types. Guaranteed to suck in sulky 13+ girls for hours.' THE TIMES "Will keep readers madly flipping the pages of Meyer's tantalizing debut." Publishers Weekly

Product Description

When 17 year old Isabella Swan moves to Forks, Washington to live with her father she expects that her new life will be as dull as the town. But in spite of her awkward manner and low expectations, she finds that her new classmates are drawn to this pale, dark-haired new girl in town. But not, it seems, the Cullen family. These five adopted brothers and sisters obviously prefer their own company and will make no exception for Bella. Bella is convinced that Edward Cullen in particular hates her, but she feels a strange attraction to him, although his hostility makes her feel almost physically ill. He seems determined to push her away ? until, that is, he saves her life from an out of control car. Bella will soon discover that there is a very good reason for Edward's coldness. He, and his family, are vampires ? and he knows how dangerous it is for others to get too close.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bite me!................, 7 May 2009
By Me read - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This is YA fiction and I'm not even close to the target audience. It's been a lot of years since I belonged in the 'teen' category BUT... despite that, I loved this book! I think it might be because the 17 year old that I once was is still fresh in my mind, and if I squint when I look in the mirror I can still see her (she just got better looking over the last couple of decades *grin*).

A five star book for me is one that I have to tear myself away from and this has to be one of the better 5 star books I've read recently. I could not put it down, regardless of whether I fit in the target deomographic or not. I have no idea why I was so enamoured with this particular story but it just grabbed me, literally from the first chapter. It has it's flaws, and at times those flaws tried to pull me away from the pages while I wrestled with my beliefs but never did I feel like I couldn't go on. I'm actually mystified why this is such a great book, I wish I could put my finger on it but it escapes me. I am fond of a bit of vampire lit, it's true, but this goes beyond that....I think. I can't say the writing is superlative so it's not that.....but what is it? I wish I knew. Answers on a postcard, please.

Bella is a complete feminists' nightmare and I can see why that would put a lot of people off of her, but at 17 love is blind so I'm willing to forgive Bella on that score. Edward is so uber male that he fairly reeks testosterone and again, that may grate on some readers but lets put things in perspective, he's the ultimate predator and has had nearly a century of dominating his prey so on that score I'm willing to forgive him his overly masculine nature for now, this nurture/love thing is new for him too.....he'll get it right eventually I expect.

Ultimitely, lets not forget that this is a tale of vampire love which is aimed at teens/young adults and the usual complexities and concerns that come with real life won't apply here. I for one am glad to slip into Bella and Edward's world and remember what it was to be young and in the throes of first love. If you have an imagination and are willing to suspend your disbelief then you might enjoy this story. It's an enjoyable bit of fulff to while away a few hours/days but if your usual reading material tends to be the classics and nothing more, then you probably will feel the need to return here with you own 1 or 2 star review.

I have books 2, 3 and 4 lined up here, ready to devour and if they go as quickly as Twilight then I'll have completed all 4 in about 3 more days. I want to tell everyone to read this as I loved it so much, but I realise that everyone has different tastes so all I can recommend is that you read the reviews and make your own mind up from there.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun but frustrating for an adult reader, 29 Aug 2009
By Alison "Pixel Allie" (Derbyshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I decided to read this after seeing so many rave reviews from other adult readers... and it was OK, even enjoyable in some parts. I'm sure I would have absolutely loved it when I was 13-16 years old (the target audience of course). However, for the older me (30+) there just wasn't enough to the story to overlook the downsides of the book. The build up to Bella learning of Edward being a vampire takes nearly half of the book and seeing as the reader already knows that he is a vampire it begins to get a bit tiresome. The point where she does find out is somewhat of an anti-climax - she doesn't seem particularly shocked or disbelieving.

The rest of the book is a range of different scenarios where Bella is clumsy (mentioned so many times I actually thought it would lead up to a revelation that she had some strange condition, maybe she does and it's revealed in a later book?) and scenarios where Bella describes how Edward is the most beautiful and dazzling being on Earth. The final two portions are an action filled part (not bad) followed by a slow anti-climax ending that drags on-and-on.

The story is intensely focussed on Bella and Edward and the author misses the opportunity to elaborate on some of the other characters; Alice was particularly intriguing. I can only imagine that the reason for this might be that the other characters are more prominent and better developed in the next three books of the saga (?). Will I be reading the next three? Probably not.

2.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant for hopelessly romantic teenage girls but not so great for anyone else..., 6 Nov 2008
I bought this book because I heard some very good reviews of it from friends. I'm a big fan of fantasy books and tend to get completely absorbed. Which is what I was expecting to happen with this, but it never happened. It was ok - nothing more.

The hype all seems to stem from Edward Cullen. A mysterious attractive vampire who falls in love with a girl he shouldn't. I might as well be describing the romance of Angel and Buffy.

As this book has been described as 'the new Harry Potter' I was expecting characters I cared about, a world I would really want to explore and an exciting, absorbing plot which appeals to people outside the age bracket it's marketed at. Twilight didn't tick any of these boxes.

I'll go and see the film when it comes out, I think it'll make a better film than book. But the only people I would recommend this to would be teenage girls who enjoy romance stories. Twilight just doesn't live up to it's hype.
