| Stephenie Meyer: Twilight Saga Twilight by Stephanie Meyer, ohemgee. I stayed up until four in the morning so I could finish the book.
It's Meyer's first book and after finishing the book it was easy to tell, but oh my, it was beautiful. It was a bit fast paced, but if things had gone any slower, the book would have been 800 pages instead of 500.
The summary on the inside of the book gives away a part of the story, so skip it! Resist the urge to read it; just skip to the first page and go buffalo, go!

Hogwarts RPG Name: Sylia Rose Azelio Fifth Year | Grey Warden ✗ Fenris ♥ ✗ Archdemon Slayer ✗ Champion of Kirkwall I've read some of this book.Well the first 11 pages because I was at the Borders Cafe and picked it up to read while my friend was reading part of Tale of Two Cities, me being her human Translator in fact. From what I have read of it, it is very nicely written.I wish I could have boughten it but sicne my parents put me on restriction from reading Vampire Novels, I'm at a loss. I do like the cover of the book as well. Pale arms and lanky fingers with a bright red juicy apple, It made me want to eat one.

Although Fate said this, it should have probably been mentioned what the story was about in my first post. >.> I was carried away from learning I could write a review.
It's about vampires and a girl's discovery of their secret, looking at life in a completely new perspective.

Twilight is definetely without a doubt the most beautiful book I have ever read. I fell in love with it from the very beginning. I've read so many books about Vampires, but this is one of the best one EVER!!! If I could pick any book to belong in it would be Twilight- no hesitation. The characters are wonderful and deep, you really get to know the characters. It was a bit paced, like TrixiePixie said, and I kinda wish it wasn't so it would have lasted longer. I am definately gonna re-read it, it's completely worth it!!

Stephenie Meyer is working on another book besides New Moon. Midnight Sun: It's Twilight from Edwards' POV. She read a few chapeters to us at a book signing, it is BRILLIANT! I LOVE IT! I want to read it more than New Moon. The next book in the series after New Moon is Eclipse I believe...=S
Twilight was a dream she had. The scene of Edward and Bella in the sunny meadow that one Saturday was her dream. She never remembers dreams, and wrote it down. After that she wanted to know what else happened, and wrote more. She was amazed how quickly it got published. It wasn't her intent until it was done. She didn't know it would be a novel until it was completed either.
But if you google Stephenie Meyer you can get to her site. She has a bunch of stuff about the books. She has chapters that were removed from Twilight, the first chapter of Midnight Sun up, and maybe New Moon, haven't been there in ages. She has pictures of Bella's prom dress, the cullen cars, and which actors she sees as the characters in her books.
(the cover they first suggested for Twilight was a zipper *cracks up*)

Whoo, her site is amazing and I still have yet to read the sequel, but I'm gonna buy it soon. I let a friend borrow Twilight because she was getting sick of me obsessing over it and now she's hooked. She's almost down with it and is reduced to reading it while the teacher is lecturing in class because she wants to finish it soo bad! I love being the cause of all that.

Twilight is an exceptional book. Well written. And I don't know why, but Bella's character seemed to annoy me... the fact that she couldn't make decisions for herself. It really agitated me. But, other than that, great read. I'm hoping to get my hands on the second book, New Moon, soon.

I've been itching to get a copy of New Moon but haven't had the time or money, but from what I hear from friends, it's even better than the first.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I love Twilight! I can't wait for the movie! (I'm auditioning for either Bella or Alice). I read New Moon already, I can't wait for the next book. I LOVE Edward and Bella! Stephenie is such a good writer. OMG, I looooooove that book!
Both Twilight and New Moon made me cry.

I finished Twilight at about 10 am this morning. It was such a great book! I couldn't put the book down! It's such a great book. One of my favorites now. I can't wait to get my hands on New Moon!

Hogwarts RPG Name: Maisie Travers Fifth Year | New Moon No fun tag! | Haha, Zombie! | Nyeaarr! New Moon by Stephanie Meyer is the sequel to Twilight
I'm not going to give a summary, for I'm too afraid I'll let something slip. But I can tell you one thing. It's the continued relationship of Edward Cullen, the vampire, and Isabella Swan, the human who seems to be able to attract danger.
Okay, that's all I can tell you or else I will say something you guys don't want to know if you haven't read the book.
It's an extremely good book, and you should seriously read it. I read it from 5:30pm to 12:30am and it took me 6 hours to read. I could not put it down once, because it was so good. |

Omg I LOVE this book...I got it when it originally came out...before they were even thinking about making TWILIGHT the movie...and the one I have doens't have a heart on the apple, its a whole red apple, held in very pale hands...
Its so pretty, I fell in love with the cover, got the book because of the cover art, and the dust jacket...and I loved it. I read it in 2/3 days!
