This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Okay, I have to say that I picked this book up partly due to all the hype (and partly because it's involved two of my favorite genres)... I mean, so many people had recommended it to me and I finally got sick of hearing about it, so I picked it up and read it... or as least tried to.

Let me first say that I am a huge romance and vampire/supernatural fan, so when I first heard about the book I was really excited to read it because it combined two of my favorite genres.

But, I really regret ever buy ...more

There's not a whole lot to say here. It's Twilight, you tend to either hate it or like it. I enjoyed it for the YA book it was and am glad it is at least getting more people reading. ...more

I read this book last summer and I just can't understand what all the fuss is about. After I read this book, I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it, either. That's my problem with Meyer's writing (same story with The Host). Characters that I can't care enough about to love or hate. It just passes the time... ...more

My expectations for this book were way too high based on reviews I had seen. It was good, not great. The story is very intriguing -- loner teenage girl falls in love with an unbelievably hot vampire and doesn't care if he could kill her at any moment.

I really enjoyed this book! It is a very passionate YA book. But I love that Edward is an old-fashioned vampire. This currently my favorite series of all time!

Subtheme: Addresses self-control and passion in a mostly non-sexual way.

Twilight was a fun read. While it's not the uber book of the year, I immediately had to start reading New Moon. ...more

Shelves: 2008-read

It's not the best written YA book written but it's alright for a teen romance. I love vampire novels and this fits that bill. I guess I'll have to read the rest of the series to see what becomes of Bella and Edward. ...more

Thanks to Margaret and Mondae for recommending this book! It was fantastic and a "new view" on vampires! I loved it and can't wait to read the other 2 books! ...more
