I will always have a soft spot for this book because I read it when I moved from dry, big sky Alberta to a claustophobic green and wet Island off the west coast. So right away I "connected" with Bella. It's a great book if you like this genre (which I do) with a beautiful love story that reminded me of my husband and I. It's worth mentioning though that is is not a normal healthy teen relationship, these are made up people in a made up world (I'd compare it to Romeo and Juliet - intense and wonderful story, not role models). The movies do not do the books justice, which is sad because they could have been great.

Great book!

Wasn't able to mentally force myself to finish the first few chapters of this book. It may have fans raving about it like crazy but it was truly a huge effort on my part just getting through the first chapter -- the progression was irritatingly slow. I'm sure this author has amazing literary talent, but I'm incapable of immersing in this particular series and line of characters. Perhaps I'll try again getting through this someday. I just hope it wasn't as poorly executed as the movies.

I love this book. I wouldnt say it's brilliant or literary genius but there is something simple and amazing about the plot. Its like comfort food. I've read it three times. The first time, I couldnt put it down, and the 2 times after it was a nice light enjoyable read. A big piece of apple pie a-la-mode.

I have read this book yet again! and I enjoyed it as much as the other times! The details are so precise and well, detailed that I felt like I was reading it for the first time !

There, she finds herself intrigued by the mysterious Edward Cullen and his family. She later learns that they are vampires. Trouble starts brewing when James, another vampire, catches a whiff of Bella's scent, and starts a deadly hunt for Bella's blood.

Bella Swan moves from Phoenix, Arizona to live with her father in Forks, Washington to allow her mother to travel with her new husband, a minor league baseball player. After moving to Forks, Bella finds herself involuntarily drawn to a mysterious, handsome boy, Edward Cullen. She eventually learns that he is a member of a vampire family who drinks animal blood rather than human blood. Edward and Bella fall in love, while James, a sadistic vampire from another coven, is drawn to hunt down Bella. Edward and the other Cullens defend Bella. She escapes to Phoenix, Arizona, where she is tricked into confronting James, who tries to kill her. She is seriously wounded, but Edward rescues her and they return to Forks, having killed James.

About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was part of him — and I didn’t know how potent that part might be — that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him. (Permanently etched in my mind...)
