"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)

What Customers Say About Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1):

It was quite different from the movie and I could not put it down. I loved reading Twilight, especially after seeing the movie.
I got more than I expected when I read this book because I didn't expect a Jane Eyre, I wanted a book dealing with vamps and what I got was a great love story and all the vamps I could ask for. I'm just amazed that it has become a "love it" or "hate it" fixation. Twilight was a wonderful adventure for me. I really loved the fast paced, clean and easy to read aspects of this book.
The fact that people are happy that this book is encouraging young people to read, while it promotes an abusive relationship as "true love", is reprehensible. This book stinks.
Thank you for your service :) I bought it used, and it looked completely new, with no tears or any signs of it being used really. I was very pleased with my purchase. Shipping was on time and I received the book very quickly.
She loved it. I brought this book for my 13 year old teenage daughter, she was totally involved with this book. It was well worth the money I spent for it. She is currently on the second book of the series and enjoying every minute. She wouldn't put it down. She was excited by the book because it gave much more background and many more details than the movie.
