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.
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 sensuous and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.

This book is definitely for those who like cutesy high school romance, a little bit of the supernatural (vampires and werewolves), and a little mystery. I saw the movie a very long time ago and I don't think it did Edward justice at all for this part of the story at least.
Though, I do agree with the other reviews; it's not for teens. The relationship is a little sketchy and Bella is 100% a masochist and I think she's secretly suicidal.
Either way, highly recommend.
The first half of the book slow. In fact I almost DNF at exactly 50%. But I one night I had nothing else to read so I thought I'd try it one more time. It definitely picked up and I actually really enjoyed the second half of the book. There was more going on, and most importantly, less high school parts. Maybe it's because I'm reading it for the first time in my 30s instead of in my teens. I just found Edward more of a creeper/stalker then a perfect romance.
The cons:
Edward is super controlling. I know he's a vampire and by nature they would be controlling, but it was a little irritating that he pretty much dictates everything about Bella and she just goes along with it. She's just a naive teenager so I guess it does make sense. I just hope all the young girls who read this don't think that a controlling guy is romantic. Being watched while sleeping is super creepy. Bella is a classic but bland Mary Sue, who's only happiness is when she is with Edward. It also annoyed me how much she was taking care of her Dad....doing all the dishes, cooking dinner, housekeeping etc. Yes it's wonderful that she's helping out and doing her part, but her DAD should also be a caretaker to his daughter.
The pros:
I really enjoyed the backstories of all the vampires. I love that they are in Washington because it's always cloudy (and I love the Pacific Northwest!). I don't mind that they are sparkly vampires, it's a different take on why they don't go in the sun and it's pretty creative. The overall story was good, even if it started slow. I will definitely pick up the next book.
I like the first person narrative, because there is no one who could tell her story better than Bella herself, making this fresh, light reading, an attractive story, and a romance for all ages.
Now that I have that out of the way - Stephanie has blown me away with the way she wrote this. I was directly pulled into her mythical world of the lion who fell in love with the lamb. This was extremely angsty, but I can understand why Edward is the way he is. Bella? She’s a smart, observant, and wise beyond her years...but a walking time bomb with how accident prone she is. I loved the whole opposites/forbidden love blossoming, the suspense, and the side characters...specifically the vampire side characters - the mean girls and the boys tripping over themselves for Bella got a little tiring for me. Overall I am pleased and ready to dive into the next in this series.

Bella’s not like other girls... she reads classics.
But in all seriousness this book is bad.
Yet... I’m struggling to give this book a rating. There’s no doubt in my mind that if this was the first time that I’d read this book it would be a one star rating.
However, it’s not the first time I’ve read this book. Me and this book, we have history.
I remember the first time I read this book as clear as day, with my tattered, borrowed copy from my school library. As soon as I met Bella and the Cullen’s I fell in love with a book for the first time. I also related to Bella (please forgive me, I was 10 years old and didn’t know any better) because like her I didn’t fit it; I loved books and the strange and mysterious fascinated me. 10 year old me would have jumped at the chance to become a vampire, and Edward’s “overprotectiveness” was seen as only charming.
Now, at 19 (God, has it really been 9 years), Bella’s character is insipid and 2-dimensional. Edward is controlling and toxic - he constantly calls her silly, absurd and ridiculous when she raises genuine concerns - and the only saving grace for this book is the Cullen family. The story is even worse with no compelling plot, and a lot is made to propel the story forward while lacking any sense. For example, when Bella was on the phone to James and Alice was in the room, how was it that with her [Alice’s] superior hearing she couldn’t tell that it was James on the phone rather than Bella’s mother?
There are so many things wrong with this, so when I give this book 2.5*, I’m more than aware that this is more than it deserves, but this book holds a grudging place in my heart and I can’t deny the love I once had for this series.

I decided Twilight would be a good place to start for my first audio book. It was a little strange at first and sometimes the narrator irritated me, the pronunciation of ‘Bella’ really got on my nerves but overall it was enjoyable.
I enjoyed Edward's wit, that's something I forgot about.
Bella's need for Edward can sometimes border on the dramatic line, but in those moments of irritation at her obsessiveness I thought back to my teen years and how my boyfriend was my everything, we can be so dramatic, but love, even puppy love is funny like that.
My feelings towards the rest of the characters haven't changed at all. I love and adore Alice, Jasper, Carlisle, Esme, Emmett and Charlie. Renee, Rosalie, Jacob, Mike and Jessica irritate me for various reasons. Billy is just Billy. I like Billy.
I don't have a quote, there's just too many.
I really enjoyed this. I'm looking forward to listening to New Moon.


This book follows a teenage girl named Bella (who I'll be getting to later) and her life when she moves to Forks, a small town located in Washington. If you ask me, Forks would be my ideal place to live, so long as the Wi-Fi's strong, but Bella dosen't seem to think so-in fact, she judges the place as a major stepdown from Pheonix, her home-town…Home-city.
In school at Forks, whilst having lunch in the cafeteria with some of her new friends, she sees the Cullens-a mysterious family of five adopted children. Each one is, in her opinion, 'astonishingly beautiful', but she seems to take a certain interest in Edward Cullen…and the story progresses from there.
I'm gonna start by talking about Bella. She is your average, cynical high-schooler, with a personality that has inspired numerous heroines since the books release.
Though I gotta say, I don't like her. She OBSESSES over Edward, snd almost every single moment of her discovery of him is filled with thoughts of just Edward Edward Edward. She even dreams about him. If Bella was real and I knew her, I'd advise her to get a therapist.
Now on to Edward himself. If you've watched Fantastic Beasts you'd know how possesive Nifflers are about their gold. Now times that by a million and you've got how Edward is with Bella. He get's physcotic if any other boys approach her, he's obsessed with her SMELL, and he stalks her. At one point he admits to have been watching Bella as she sleeps, and, no lie, Bella is PLEASED about it.
He also never stops insulting her about how clumsy she is, and laughs when she injures herself, and, as usual, Bella is powerless to resist as she is 'entranced' by the 'meliodic' sound of his laugh.
So, overall, Twilight is a great read, though flawed by the characters. Speaking of which, everyone else is great, especially the rest of the Cullen family. I would recommend this book, but, as per said, it's not for everyone.
A solid four stars.
Review by Teknik Reviews.

the dialogues between Bella and Edward are the most boring ever, page after page the author just repeat the same boring routine...I had to force myself to finish it, I know the story, I won't bother with the next chapters.
