Twilight

by Stephenie Meyer
Read by: Ilyana Kadushin

Random House Audio Publishing Group | September 27, 2005 | Audio Book (CD)

About three things I was absolutely positive:
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.

"I'D NEVER GIVEN MUCH THOUGHT TO HOW I WOULD DIE- I'd had reason enough in the last few months -but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this. . . . Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of something else, someone I loved. Noble, even. That ought to count for something."
When Isabella Swan moves to the gloomy town of Forks and meets the mysterious, alluring Edward Cullen, her life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. With his porcelain skin, golden eyes, mesmerizing voice, and supernatural gifts, Edward is both irresistible and impenetrable. Up until now, he has managed to keep his true identity hidden, but Bella is determined to uncover his dark secret.
What Bella doesn't realize is the closer she gets to him, the more she is putting herself and those around her at risk. And, it might be too late to turn back. . . .
Deeply seductive and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight will have readers riveted right until the very last page is turned.

    I read it in 2008 and i thought it was a nice story about bella falling in love with a vampire. before i read twilight i have seeing often at different book store for a while and one day i decide to pick up the book and read the back of it. to me it look interesting and different so a few month later i finally decide to buy the book. i read it in two month it was easy to finish it and i saw the movie a few day after. I love all the characters they are all different. My favorite character have to be bella. i also like Edward and Jacob they are awesome. The story was easy to undertand and the idea of it was simple. so i recommended this book for people who like love stories(like me) and Vampires.

    After reading this almost 3 years ago, it's hard to give a proper review. I used to love this book. I got the majority of the women in my family to read it and some of my friends at work hooked too. Originally, I had an electronic copy of the first three Twilight books because I heard of a movie coming out. So I started Twilight in the late spring.

    I don't think I even got past the first chapter. Maybe that was a sign.

    Then again in August when the fans of the books were getting even more excited because it was close to November, I started to read Twilight again. I think I read it in a week. Then I read New Moon, followed very closely by Eclipse. By the time I had finished Eclipse I had the first three books, plus the newly released Breaking Dawn on order from Chapters online. I still can't believe how fast I read those books. And I loved Breaking Dawn.

    I think, for me, the books were there at a time where my reading habits were changing. I had grown out of MG books but I wasn't quite interested in Adult yet. Harry Potter was over and I needed a new series to cling to. So I did, for a time.

    Then I started to read reviews of the books. A lot of bad reviews pointing out the flaws that I hadn't seen in these books. How overly simple they were, how abusive Edward and Jacob were, how Stephenie Meyer was pushing her anti-abortion views in Breaking Dawn. Blah, blah, blah... And I let those reviews sway my opinion of the entire series. I started second guessing my love of the series and my reasons for reading it so fast.

    But in the end I still loved the Twilight universe. I continued to follow fan sites and read fan fiction and looked at the beautiful art depicting the characters of the Twilight universe. Life was good. I re-read the books another time.

    Then I got bored of just reading about Edward and his sparkles.
    Suddenly I realised Twilight was so much less than I had built it up to be. I became embarrassed to admit I had a love for a book that 12 year old girls loved just as much (and waaay more, too).

    I've tried to read Eclipse again (it was my favourite) but it comes off as way too cheesy. Maybe my taste in reading has changed. Maybe I've moved away from being a teenager completely. Maybe I just was so clouded by sparkling vampires that I couldn't see the problems with the books. I don't know why I loved them so much and now I don't know why I can't stand to read the books now.

    In Twilight, Stephenie Meyer has uniquely touched upon the subject of a human meeting a vampire that fall in love and have a romantic relationship with each other. She has started a huge franchise that has spawned 5 movies (each based upon 1 of her 4 books, the last book divided into 2 movies). She has used her talent to write a wonderful story that readers can easily get into. When I read it for the first time, I was amazed at how precise and wonderful the details were and how wonderfully everything flowed. Being completely honest, I was sorry it ended. If you're wondering what to read next, I would strong recommend Twilight!

    This book is.. amazing. There's not much more I can say. I was completely riveted. I've read a lot of books, but few were as spellbinding as Twilight. I was barely aware of my surroundings when I was reading it. No matter how much of the book people had already ruined for me, I got lost in the mysteries of it all. If nothing else, Twilight is definitely a page-turner.
