Publisher Description
When 17 year old Isabella Swan moves to Forks, Washington to live with her father she expects that her new life will be as dull as the town.
But in spite of her awkward manner and low expectations, she finds that her new classmates are drawn to this pale, dark-haired new girl in town. But not, it seems, the Cullen family. These five adopted brothers and sisters obviously prefer their own company and will make no exception for Bella.
Bella is convinced that Edward Cullen in particular hates her, but she feels a strange attraction to him, although his hostility makes her feel almost physically ill. He seems determined to push her away - until, that is, he saves her life from an out of control car.
Bella will soon discover that there is a very good reason for Edward's coldness. He, and his family, are vampires - and he knows how dangerous it is for others to get too close.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Isabella Swan, 17, narrates this riveting first novel, propelled by suspense and romance in equal parts. The story opens with a cryptic scene of the heroine "facing death," then flashes back to Bella's departure from Phoenix, where her mother lives with her new husband, as the teen heads off to live with her father, the police chief in Forks, Wash. From the first day at her new high school, she finds herself magnetically drawn to Edward Cullen, whose behavior towards her is erratic ("I'd just explained my dreary life to this bizarre, beautiful boy who may or may not despise me"). Then she finds out why his interest in her runs hot and cold: he is a vampire but of an unusual variety. Edward, his siblings and their adoptive parents have disciplined themselves to feed on animals rather than humans; and Edward is obsessed with Bella. Other elements factor into the plot, including a rival group of vampires who are not as disciplined as the Cullens. This plot twist (which includes a subplot about one of the Cullens' past life) contributes to a rushed denouement (much of it takes place offstage) that is perhaps the novel's only weakness. The main draw here is Bella's infatuation with outsider Edward, the sense of danger inherent in their love, and Edward's inner struggle a perfect metaphor for the sexual tension that accompanies adolescence. These will be familiar to nearly every teen, and will keep readers madly flipping the pages of Meyer's tantalizing debut. Ages 12-up.
Customer Reviews
Twilight
The book is 10 times better than the movie. Very well written it really bring you in another world and you become part of it.
Would be nice to have a story for their kid and Jacob !
Boring
In the first 400 pages the only thing that happens is Edward kisses Bella. Bella talking about Edwards perfection and her daily morning routine will be the death of me.
And no, I did not read this book just to hate it, I actually tried to read it, and I did, in a few days.
But Stephenie Meyer spends so much of the book just describing everyday life for Bella without ANY plot in sight. The only “plot” being the infatuation the boys in her school have with her.
Edward isn’t much better and I can see why the movie cut a LOT of things from this book, because most of it is just fluffy filler.
If you like Bella morosing every chapter or so and falling over from the slightest incline, then this book is for you!
Peopoe were right to not recommend this book, but I had to read it just to see what it was all about and please, don’t buy this book if you like excitement in your books. This book is not for you if you want plot, or well written characters, or good romance, or a good vampire story.
Stay far away.
