Stephanie Meyer writes the perfect man.4
My fascination with this character aside, my only comment to the other reviewers on this site who feel this book deserves 1 star and a bunch of regurgitated tripe about how vampires should act, if you are a woman, no matter what age, reading this book, and you don’t have a flippin’ aneurysm by the end of chapter 13 you are not really a human worth living.
Meyers is clearly writing a novel for the first time in her life, she is clearly aiming for that tween group of readers, it is obvious that this novel is more gratuitous and expository than your average literary masterpiece. The author also took liberties to describe vampires in a new and different way. Thank God.
If I thought I had been reading Anne Rice I would have stopped reading immediately, there is nothing worse than an author who can’t bear to break with traditions and stylization as imposed by other better authors.
As it is, this book understands with startling clarity the truly deep, awkward and thrilling pleasures of being a person who is for the first time falling MADLY in love with another. It just happens to be a vampire, it just happens to be a creature who could double as Mr. Perfect, with the exception of the blood lust.
For readers who felt ill disposed to Bella Swan I feel you didn’t look deeply enough, or really even read carefully enough for that matter. And as for these women who find the female character hard to believe, I would suggest that perhaps your own feelings on the subject, however convoluted with self-esteem issues or self-abnegation, if you were in such a fantastical situation you would display the same symptoms of stupidity. If this were not the case you probably wouldn’t feel the need to write a 50-page dissertation on how Bella Swan is so stupid. Jealous much?
That’s really all I wanted to say however, my opinion of the quality of the book is indicated by my stars, and this is coming from someone who reads everything from Dickens and Joyce to Rowling and Rice.
Amazingly well written4
After having heard all the hype about this series and reading the reviews, it made me curious enough to go out and buy Twilight. Since so many people seemed to either love it or hate it, I had to know what it was about this series that was provoking these reactions. So I bought it, but it sat on my shelf for a month or two because I kept thinking that I’d made a mistake, I wouldn’t like this book. Well, after finishing a book I’d been reading, I decided that now was the time to read it, and I’m glad that I did finally pick it up.
The story centralizes around the development of the relationship between Bella Swan, a teenage girl who moved to the town of Forks, Washington to live with her father, and Edward Cullen, one of a family of vampires who are living in Forks, passing as humans. I found it amazing that Twilight has almost no real plot, but still the book enthralled me. Nothing really major happens until near the end of the book. This entire book is devoted to development of characters and their relationships with each other. There is not a single author or book I’ve read that has successfully pulled this off, and still kept my attention. It is one thing after another that keeps you hooked. For me it was, if Edward is a vampire, what is it that makes him different from the normal, run of the mill sort? Then it turned to interest in the way Edward and Bella interacted and how their relationship developed.
While I did greatly enjoy this book, there were a couple of things that bothered me. Edward’s mood swings are one thing, and I see this complaint a lot. His mood changes are so abrupt, it made me feel like he was bi-polar. Though I did see the reason behind the sudden mood changes, I think that it could have been written a little better than him laughing one second, and the next he’s angry. The other thing that bothered me was how obsessed Bella becomes with Edward. I kept thinking, “I know you love the guy, but come on!” I don’t like that type of love that becomes “I can’t live without you! Anytime I spend away from you is agony and you’re all I can think about!” I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love my significant other to death, but I would never consider offing myself should anything happen to him.
Twilight is truly wonderful. I did not put this book down for long while I was reading it, because when I did, I kept thinking about what could possibly happen next, and when imagined what it might be, it made me pick it up again to find out. I am very, very impressed with the character development in this novel, and I fully intended to continue reading the next in the series, New Moon.
Samy from Lake Tapps says “this is the best book you could ever read!”5
Are you dyeing to read a book that makes you want to turn off your favorite TV show? Then you should read twilight. Twilight is an action packed love story. And you better get cozy because you aren’t getting up any time soon because twilight is one of those pager turner book.
Just so you know twilight is a fantasy book with 498 pages so this book is not for everyone. So I would recommend this book for kids ten and older but I would in courage you to try it and don’t let the number of pages get to you because you don’t want to miss out on one of Stephanie Meyers awesome books. So head to your nearest book store and pick up twilight.
My favorite part of the book is when Bella gets herself in trouble by getting herself bite by another vampire. But luck brought Edward and he tries to suck the venom out of Bella’s hand. But did Edward get there in time does he stop drinking her blood well you are going to have to read the book twilight to find out.
I hope you liked twilight just as much as I do. Because if you don’t go buy twilight your friends well think you have been living under a rock. Because

Product Description
“Softly he brushed my cheek, then held my face between his marble hands. ”Be very still,” he whispered, as if I wasn”t already frozen. Slowly, never moving his eyes from mine, he leaned toward me. Then abruptly, but very gently, he rested his cold cheek against the hollow at the base of my throat. ” As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because–he’’s a vampire. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonizes over the danger. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship.Meyer has achieved quite a feat by making this scenario completely human and believable. She begins with a familiar YA premise (the new kid in school), and lulls us into thinking this will be just another realistic young adult novel. Bella has come to the small town of Forks on the gloomy Olympic Peninsula to be with her father. At school, she wonders about a group of five remarkably beautiful teens, who sit together in the cafeteria but never eat. As she grows to know, and then love, Edward, she learns their secret. They are all rescued vampires, part of a family headed by saintly Carlisle, who has inspired them to renounce human prey. For Edward’’s sake they welcome Bella, but when a roving group of tracker vampires fixates on her, the family is drawn into a desperate pursuit to protect the fragile human in their midst. The precision and delicacy of Meyer’’s writing lifts this wonderful novel beyond the limitations of the horror genre to a place among the best of YA fiction. (Ages 12 and up)
