Rating: 
- Great oringinal series
A great read, easy, but very entertaining. I'm looking forward to seeing it in film in Nov.
Rating: - great book
I bought the whole series for my 14 yr old granddaughter. She read this one in one day.It took her just over a week to read the series. It was spell binding for her. She can't wait for the movie.My 20 year old niece and all her friends are sharing the books also.
Rating: - Amazing
An amazing book! I couldn't put it down! Read it from cover to cover in one day... then passed it on to my little sister... and now to my daughter!
Rating: - Twilight
Awesome book! I couldn't put it down - read whole book in two sittings. Have purchased other three books in set and am just finishing up book 3. Stephanie Meyers is a terrific author.

- Remember this is meant for teen readers
I find a guilty pleasure in reading young adult fiction, especially if it has a female protagonist. There's something appealing about seeing the world in black and white, finding a soul mate at 16, and the view of oneself as the heroine of one's own story. Some of the things that the other reviewers complained of I didn't even notice, like Bella constantly glowering. I didn't think that she was portrayed as too loving or too generous or too beautiful. She was just doing what most of us hope that we would do, sacrifice ourselves for one that we love.
Is it really a surprise that a 16 year old girl falls instantly in love with a handsome vampire? Really, where would the story be if not for that? Since we're in a world where destiny brings star-crossed lovers together, I have no doubt that Edward's inability to hear Bella's thoughts is a factor in his love for her, along with her apparently irresistible smell. I'm hoping that we'll find out why this is the case in one of the subsequent books.
All in all, I thought that Stephenie Meyer has created a pretty great vampire universe. Many modern ones have the vampire having to exchange blood with the victim in order to procreate; this is not the case in Twilight. Although I am not enough of a vampire aficionado to know for sure that it is original, I loved her explanation of why a victim once bitten will then transform into a vampire herself, assuming, of course that she survives.
Bottom line: an enjoyable read as long as you're expecting it to entertain and not preach to teenagers. I look forward to reading the next book.
