"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)

More then meets the Eye.

I must admit that I didn't know what to expect when I first purchased this book. Yes this is a young love story. Obviously. But you have to remember that it's "Fantasy". Not every single book out there is supposed to give off a good lesson in life. If you decided to pick up a -non fiction- book to get a life lesson then you have problems.
It was a very interesting story and it kept me wanting to read more. It was like actually being in her mind and being able to feel what she felt. I say if you like vampires,and love stories, then you should buy this book. You will buy book number two.

Loved this book

I loved this book and couldn't put it down. I plan to reread it and I never do this. I'm in love with the characters who the author brings to life so well that I feel like I know them.

Re-discovered books with this series

I just recently finished the Twilight series books for the second time. I would consider myself well read but having small children around for the last 6 years, I haven't been able to read a book without pictures for a while now. These books brought the passion for books and story telling back to life for me. The characters become real and are consistent in their behaviors. You can almost predict how they will react - hence the importance to the story telling which Stephenie Meyers does very well. I am not a vampire fan - but I do like finding a little oasis in my day and these books provided it for me. Her other book The Host was also a great read and I am grateful I had something else to read to distract me from Twilight. If not I might have picked up the books again. Now I am on the hunt for a new book to read until Breaking Dawn is released. Thank you Stephenie for rekindling my passion for reading again.

A captivating book you won't want to put down

Embrace The Light; a women's story through poetry to touch your heartTeens and young adults will love this book. It is exciting and suspensful. I related to how she was forced to grow up too fast. Too many of our youth experience this today. I think that many young adults will be able to identify with this story in many ways.
