The book that started the phenomenon is now available in a deluxe collector's edition! Featuring a ribbon bookmark, cloth cover, ragged edges, new chapter opener designs, and a beautiful protective slipcase, this edition is perfect for fans and collectors alike.
Bella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Bella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Bella, the person Edward holds most dear.
Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.
Product Description
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.

 Blown away October 6, 2008
I usually read Thriller/Romance Novels. Heard about this saga in my used book store and never dreamed I'd read this type of story but so glad I did. I absolutely loved it. Never have I finished a book in 2 days but its true I could not set it down. I carried it everywhere I went.
I was holding my breath at the end. Stephenie is an amazing writer. Can't wait to start the next one. By the way I'm 60.
Why can't people just enjoy a good book! October 6, 2008
Personally, I tried very hard to resist Twilight. I generally don't go for Young Adult Lit., and I generally don't go for fads. But, I gave in. And I am not ashamed to say, I loved it! I love all the books. What I don't get is why people cannot just take these books for what they are...stories. I highly doubt Stephanie Meyer was aiming at the Pulitzer Prize when writing this series. So, why does every pretentious wanna be book critic on here have to rip them apart for not being literary masterpieces? Why can't people just enjoy a good book because it is that...a good book? Maybe there are some crazies out there who feel like they can never fall in love with a real man now that they have met Edward Cullen. But so what? There are always going to be people who think fictional lives are better than their own lives. That doesn't take away from what these books are. GOOD STORIES; a good escape from the everyday boredom of life. Isn't that what books are supposed to be? If the only reason you read a book is because you are waiting to rip it apart, you should just quit reading. Reading is entertainment, and these books are highly entertaining. I think Meyer's should get her props and everyone should just shut up about the supposed lack of literary merit.
 A must read. October 6, 2008
When I first heard of the book I wasn't sure if I wanted to read it. I'm an avid fan of Anne Rice and I was really apprehensive on reading this series. But when I got through the first book I could not wait to read the next one. I recommend this book to anyone that would like this kind of genre. It has its own glamour and suspense that captures you till the end. Its no where as good as Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles but it's still a must read.
I LOVED IT & YOU WILL TOO!!! October 6, 2008
I was never interested in vampires until I got into Twilight! I'm already on the 2nd book - New Moon & its great also! Can't wait to read the 3rd one!
If you buy this book, make sure to buy the whole series. You can't put them down! October 6, 2008
Let me warn you. If you start reading this book, you will want to make sure that you have purchased the entire series of 4 books. This book is a slow read at the very beginning and was my least favorite of the 4, but once you start reading the Twilight books you just can't put them down. the second book is much better and the 3rd was my favorite, but I loved the series so much that I have recommended it to everyone I know.
I really liked this book. I was surprised, I am 44 and started reading the twilight series by chance just for something to do while my husband watched football. I became so engrossed in the books that I read all 4 in just 6 days. The amazing thing is I am not a reader. These were the first books I have read in more than 5 years.
I cannot reccommend these books by SM enough. They are so vividly discriptive and she teases you so well by writing almost what you want to happen and then pulling back at the right moment.
