I enjoyed this book because the chareters worked well in it and the authar made the seances where worked well. i think that the authar could of made the seance more dremadec and sad in the seance.  some of the seances worked really well and i hope when i read the 2nd book it better then what this one is.

I give this book a 3 out of 5 because i think that the  autha could be more dremadce and sad and i hope she takes that on.

The main idea of twilight is pretty lame if you think about it. It's basically a shy and highly observant girl moving to a different country and then happens to fall in love with a vampire. And then 3 other random vampires come and one of them want to eat her and so it gets so serious and crap and then suddenly it's a matter of life and death. BUT! Stephanie Meyer has this interesting way with words so she adds humor and a complication with Jacob being a werewolf and suddenly the book is absouletley brilliant.

Twilight is a book about adventure and romance! I am still reading this book but here is what I have read so far. It is set in a car with a girl called Bella and her mum. The girl Bella is leaving her mum and her mum’s partner to see her dad Charlie. Charlie lives in Port Angeles and he is a Police Chief Swan. He bought her a red truck for her as a homecoming present. She is going to Fork High School. Her dad lives in a 2 bedroom house. I don't want to continue to spoil this amazing book!


I enjoyed the pages of the book I have read, as it sounds very interesting and it starts off with an interesting and twisted life for Bella such as her parents are divorced. I really like how I can read what she is feeling and thinking as she arrives in Port Angeles.


I believe 12+ should read this book, as 12 year olds will actually understand the story and maybe possibly the words. I believe that all genders can read it. It is a book which targets mature people for the plot and lifestyle to be really understood.

Twilight is an easy and enjoyable read. Its first-person viewpoint keeps the the pages turning. Twilight is the first of the saga and there four other books after this one.

I was never in love with vampires until Twilight came out. I didn’t know it was possible, but Stephanie Meyer changed the stereotypical blood-sucking vampire into a beautiful god-like creature. Twilight is such a magnificent book that it was a New York Times bestseller.

Meyer’s style of writing will have you wanting to believe that there are gorgeous vampires roaming our world and just hopefully there will be Edwards for all of the girls who have fallen in love with this fictional yet breathtaking character. Since the characters’ love is forbidden, it only makes it better. ­After all, forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest.

Over all it is a great read and i would give it 4/5 stars

Team Edward? or Team Jacob?


These questions alwayd lingered in my head while reading this book.


Now, I'm definitely in team Edward, but I can't lie and say that Jacob isn't also in my heart.


I LOVE the whole Twilight series but I think that the first book is always the best book in the series.


It's because the first book gives you a kick off the characters and besides, all of the tension and characters begin to become real.


TOTALLY LOVE THIS BOOK!!! :)))

I really like this book aswell as the whole set. the book i found better than the movie because you explore bella more in the book than you do in the movie. i recommend this book to people that like the vampires and werewolf combination. it also has some romance.

Twilight is a story based on the life of a vampire and an ordinary girl that fall in love! 

It’s placed in a little town called Forks, where the main character Bella moves there to live with her father. This setting of Forks shows how everybody knows one another, and how many secrets there are within small towns. 

A big complication in this book is Bella finding out a major secret about Edward, who is the other main character! It’s solved by Bella taking it in and accepting Edward for who he is!

My favourite character isn’t a main character, it’s Edwards sister Alice. She’s my favourite because she has a very bubbly personality! She is a girl who is understanding of everyone and uses her power for good causes!

Some themes of twilight are love, good verse evil, fear and choices. These themes are shown all throughout the book!

The ending of the book is quite a good ending, it leaves you intrigued to read the next 3 books! 

I think that other kids of the ages of 12+ would enjoy reading this book because its a fairytale yet it has similarities to the real world!

I would enjoy to read another book by Stephanie Meyer because she is an interesting writer and she includes detail that gives you images in your head to help follow what happens!

Twilight is a good and enjoyable book!

"Twilight" seems to be a revolutionary vampire romance at first, but it's frightening to realise that Bella and Edward's relationship borders on, if not completely emerges as an abusive relationship. Stephanie Meyer is able to write beautifully at times, but she is either ignorant or apathetic to the fact that whether she means it or not, she is setting a terrible example to some of the world's most impressionable people.

When seventeen year-old Bella Swan leaves sunny Arizona to live with her father in the small and gloomy Pacific North-West town of Forks she doesn’t expect to like it.  After all she has made excuses not to go there enough times over the past few years.  If living in Forks, with its constant mist and rain, wasn’t bad enough she will have to make a whole new set of friends and settle into a new school.Bella soon makes some new friends at school but when she sees a boy called Edward Cullen sitting with his brothers and sisters in the cafeteria she is instantly intrigued.  Edward is stunningly attractive, almost inhumanly beautiful, and yet he is an outsider too.  Although Edward and his family have lived in Forks for two years they have never really been accepted by the townsfolk. At first Edward is aloof, sometimes it almost seems like he can’t stand to be in the same room as her, but eventually they strike up an unlikely friendship.  Even as Bella falls hopelessly and irrevocably in love with Edward, she still can’t work out exactly what makes him so different to everyone else.On a trip to the beach, Bella is told of the local legend about the “cold ones”, a group of blood drinkers who have sworn off hunting humans but are still not welcome on Indian land because vampires are not to be trusted.  Realising Edward is vampire changes nothing for Bella, she knows that she still loves him even if he’s not human.Edward and his whole family are vampires.  Edward himself was made a vampire when he was seventeen years-old, although that was at the end of World War I.  For Edward his love for Bella is both a delight and a torment.  A delight because she is the first person he has loved since he was made a vampire.  A torment because although he has sworn off human blood and only hunts animals the craving for human blood never truly leaves him and the very scent of her also stirs his hunger for blood.
