Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)
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.

So, OK, I read that this series was as popular with tweens and teens as the Potter books. I read the first one.
Won't read the rest [though will probably go see the movie based on Twilight.] I've been around too many teens and too many tweens for way too long to be able to feel comfortable with the characterization of the protagonist. She may be in love, but I've not yet had the honor of meeting a girl that willing to endure pain and distancing from her peers. . . even though she is a LONER. [Her individuality is played up nicely, but the 9,000 or so I've known over the past 50 years, usually aren't as individualistic as they think.] She turns away from a loving father, a new place to live with new friends etc., and that is understandable given her non-prefrontal lobe development and age of 17, but to accept the physical and mental pain and stress is more than I can accommodate. I don't recommend this one. The writing seems a bit unpolished as well. Though I did like the imaginative details and set up of the vampires.

Wow! Could Not Put The Book Down
rating: 5
Hey! I am 37 years old and totally loved this book! I couldn't put the book down. What a romantic story. Not your average vampire story line. A very good book to take to the beach.

Twilight
rating: 4
I was kind of hesitant to buy the book due to all the fuss, and having been a reader of the Anne Rice's Vamire Chronicles I was afraid I would be disappointed. I was not. This is young adult fiction to be sure but it was fun, and was not just a rehash of the same old vampire myths. It is first love but with a vampire. It does lack the richness of Anne Rice's writing but it was fun and entertaing which is why I read fiction.

gets a kid to read
rating: 5
I saw this book on television and decided to buy it for one of my grandsons, whom is not a reader. Well, he finished this book, i bought him the seocnd one, he finished that one also, so he is now on his third book by in the series. I highly recommend buying the book for your teenage non reader. It could open up a whole new world to him/her.

DON'T STOP KEEP THIS GOING!!!!!!
rating: 5
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SERIES!!!! I have completely and totally fell in love with EDWARD and all of the characters of this series. It will make you laugh, cry, sad, scared, excited, worried, feel adored, and all of the above. I have never felt this way about a series of books in my life. After it was done I felt empty as if I just broke up with a boyfriend or something. A co-worker and I were reading them at the same time and we both just have felt lost. We need more.... She and I have been looking and can't find anything that comes close to the experience of reading this series. And she has read thousands of books. I hope that Stephanie Meyer doesn't leave her fans out there too long waiting for the next phenomenal series to start. We MISS EDWARD!!! (and Bell too)This is a MUST READ!!! If you don't enjoy this book you are insane!!!!
