I really enjoyed this book, even though I’m years out of the intended audience (I’m 50-something). I’ll be looking for the 2nd and 3rd at the library soon. Love Love Love Edward and his family!

I read this book in less than 24 hours. I was not able to put this book down for more than 5 minutes without going insane. Words cannot describe how intoxicating this story is, not to mention how madly in love I fell with Edward Cullen.

I didn’t plan on reading this book, as I mostly heard not so good things about it. I was curious though, not expecting anything too great. The writing is nothing fantastic, in fact it had me laughing. I loved every minute though, it is very entertaining.

So, just so we’re clear… is Edward good-looking?
:)

I dont have much of a drive to finish this. I know I must, but the story just seems predictable. The only past of it I really enjoy is Edward and Bella’s semi-cute wordplay, which to my advantage takes up half the pages now. : )

I’m not going to gush about this book like everyone here seems to. It’s trashy teen beach lit. That’s really all it is. It isn’t beautifully written. The characters aren’t very well developed. The plot is pretty predictable. Regardless, I consumed it in 3 days of frenzied reading. The book was an enjoyable read, if not particularly memorable or of particularly high quality. So if you want a quick, guilty pleasure read, this may be for you. But don’t have too many high expectations.

Wow, I just loved that story! I couldn’t put it down…. I’d been craving a good love story for awhile and that just hit the spot! I nearly turned back to the first page again! Whew…. now I have to find the next one, but I must control myself a little or I won’t get anything accomplished!

Twilight is a fairy tale love story between a human, Isabella Swan, and Edward. Edward, of course, is the posterboy for gorgeous, and above all, reignites the belief that chivalry aint dead. Itll prolly make your heart a little bit drunk, or love stoned, whatever.

There are a couple issues with Twilight. First, Bella is seriously vanilla. Shes a seventeen year old virgin, reads Wuthering Heights religiously, and can’t stand up for herself. Shes a wimp, in every sense of the word, but you know, God forbid she should like get a gun or do anything but squeal. Second, she agrees to get married straight outta highschool and ditch her family for 100andsomething year old guy. Am I the only one thinking ” Creepy, Creepy.”? Honestly, the next book should be ” Bella: Barefoot and Pregnant”.

Anyways, if you can ignore the BS this is a nice story. There is a certain lack of culture to the books so dont expect to think too hard. Highly recommended just because its so damn popular.

For the past couple of months, the kids have been waiting and ILL-ing this series. As with Harry Potter, I held out because other books interested me more or I have been extremely busy. Also, this book is always out so I have not had a chance to even check it out. (Meddling kids :) )
I finally got it in my hands and honestly, I could not put it down. I am not much for vampire stories, I was never into Anne Rice the way my friends obsessed over her. But this is definitely worth a read.
Bella (Isabella) moves to the town of Forks to live with her dad, Charlie. She hates it there. She grew up in Arizona with the sun and desert and cannot stand the cold and the lack of sunlight. However, she makes the move because her mother is dating a basketball player and is always traveling with him. She does not know her father very well and knows that she is in for challenge by moving to a town she hates and father she does not know.
As she becomes acclimated to her new surroundings, Bella has to face the fact that she is going to a new school. She goes and on her very first day in science class, she sees one of the most beautiful boys in her class. He is obviously repelled by her. She feels him loathing and hating her and does not know why. But she’s draw to him and cannot stop herself from being attracted and fascinated by his presence.
One day, Edward Cullen, starts talking to her. From that point on, for the both of them, they begin a dangerous dance that could place Bella in mortal danger.
This book is a young adult romance novel. Nothing sexually graphic happens but the tension between the two characters is so intense you cannot help but continue reading to see what happens. Bella’s life takes more and more interesting turns as she grows to accept her need for Edward Cullen. Highly recommended.

The great thing about this book is that the author leaves A LOT to the imagination. Being able to fill in the spots with my own colors, feelings, interpretations made it WONDERFUL. (did anyone notice the lack of description as to what Bella actually LOOKED like?)

I don’t know if I would ever consider this novel “suspenseful”... However, the author did an extremely wonderful job conveying that jelly feeling and sense of exhilaration when one falls head over heels in love. It’s a sweet poignant story that’s not really about the plot so much as it is about the vivid characters. They were so well portrayed…

I can’t wait to finish the series.
