description
Seventeen-year-olds Bella Swan and Edward Cullen are enmeshed in an intense, hungry love that leaves them both destroyed, yet passionately longing for more. Bella's scent and very being excites Edward, a vampire who, along with his family, abstains from feasting on humans. After a difficult start, the two become inseparable, learning more and more about each other as the days pass, all the while knowing that with every thrilling moment might end with Bella's death. The beautiful, evergreen landscape of Washington state's Olympic Peninsula permeates this gripping, fast-paced drama as it torpedoes through the notions of family, relationships, and sacrificing everything imaginable for true love. Named one of Publishers Weekly's Best Children's Books of 2005 and a 2005 School Library Journal Best Book.


critical reviews
"Meyer adds an eerie new twist to the mismatched, star-crossed lovers theme: predator falls for prey, human falls for vampire. This tension strips away any pretense readers may have about the everyday teen romance novel, and kissing, touching, and talking take on an entirely new meaning when one small mistake could be life-threatening...Realistic, subtle, succinct, and easy to follow, TWILIGHT will have readers dying to sink their teeth into it." - (School Library Journal, 10/1/05)

    "I loved it - read the whole series and was completely wrapped up in it from page one of Twilight - and I am no teenager! I found the Stephanie Meyers' writing style to be easy to read and completely captivating. I can't wait to see the movie coming out soon."

    "Didn't think I would like it because of all the hype. I was so wrong! Great story about sacrificial love."

    "I love all 4 books, but the moving was kind of lacking for me.. for some reason I always enjoy the books more then the movies that were made out of them."
