Stephenie Meyer

Mit Romantik oder gar Leidenschaft hätte Bella ihren Umzug nach Forks, einer langweiligen, ständig verregneten Kleinstadt in Washington State, kaum in Verbindung gebracht. Bis sie den geheimnisvollen und attraktiven Edward kennenlernt. Er fasziniert sie, obwohl irgendetwas mit ihm nicht zu stimmen scheint. So gut aussehend und stark wie er kann kein gewöhnlicher Mensch sein. Aber was ist er dann? Die Geschichte einer verbotenen Liebe, einer Liebe gegen alle Vernunft.

"Well, do you find me attractive, in that way, at all?"

He laughed and lightly rumpled my nearly dry hair.

"I may not be a human, but I am a man," he assured me.

"I like the night. Without the dark, we'd never see the stars."

He rolled his eyes. "Of all the things about me that could frighten you, you worry about my driving."

Fall in love with the addictive, suspenseful love story between a teenage girl and a vampire with the book that sparked a "literary phenomenon" and redefined romance for a generation (New York Times).
Isabella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Isabella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn.
Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Isabella, the person Edward holds most dear. The lovers find themselves balanced precariously on the point of a knife -- between desire and danger.
Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.
It's here! #1 bestselling author Stephenie Meyer makes a triumphant return to the world of Twilight with the highly anticipated companion, Midnight Sun: the iconic love story of Bella and Edward told from the vampire's point of view.
"People do not want to just read Meyer's books; they want to climb inside them and live there." -- Time
"A literary phenomenon." -- The New York Times

I stared straight ahead as I passed the Volvo, but from a peripheral peek, I would swear I saw him laughing.

But I only thought of this perfectly good excuse later. At the time, all I could think was, “Not her.”

Well… I decided as long as I was going to hell, I might as well do it thoroughly.

“Darkness is so predictable, don't you think?" 

the first book in this never before told love story

I'd never gave much thought to how I would die but dying at the hands of someone you love seems like a good way to go

This girl overthinks like a mofo! But I guess it’s valid because same.

 My stomach twisted as I realızed what he must have meant. He must see how absorbed I was by him; he must not want to lead me on ... so we couldn't even be friends… because he wasn’t interested in me at all.

 Of course he wasnt interested in me, I thought an- grily, my eyes stinging-a delayed reaction to the onions.

He tilted his head slowly and touched his cool lips to mine for the second time, very carefully, parting them slightly. And then I collapsed. "Bella?" His voice was alarmed as he caught me and held me up. "You... made... me... faint," I accused him dizzily. What am I going to do with you?" he groaned in exasperation. "Yesterday I kiss you, and you attack me! Today you pass out on me!"

“I’ll always want you, I warned him. Forever.” 

"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb…” 

“Darkness is so predictable, don't you think?"

“I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.”

“When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it's not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.”

Rose Donovan

When 17-year old Bella moves to live with her father, she expects her life will be as dull as the town. She quickly finds friends but not with the Cullen family who prefer their own company, especially Edward who hates her. Bella soon discovers the reason for his coldness as the family are vampires.

Ella Grossett

When seventeen-year-old Bella leaves Phoenix to live with her father in Forks, Washington, she meets an exquisitely handsome boy at school for whom she feels an overwhelming attraction and who she comes to realize is not wholly human.

It will eternally be a favorite book for me. I love everything about it and the way it makes me feel.

pretty good! Finally got around to reading it after years of owning the series. Literally discovered how Alice was changed???? Why wasn’t half of this in the movie tf

My first time reading Twilight as a long time fan of the movies and even I am surprised to say… I think I preferred the book! 

As much as I love the movie, there is few points where I feel the progression of Bella and Edward’s relationship is a bit disjointed HOWEVER in the book, it feels so much more natural?!? Of course, a part of the plot is that immense attraction they have for each other immediately, but I was so glad to be able to see them actually talk and get to know each other, and ask questions about each other lives and families? It flowed so much better in book format, I felt.

Now secondly, let’s talk about how both Edward and Bella’s personalities are so much better in the book? Edward can be funny, sarcastic, and witty, something I felt was not brought across on the big screen. Bella, similarly, was frequently joking with Edward, and she actually communicated well with him. To me, they 

 came across as a REAL couple through those small more simple moments. 

One thing I would criticise is that I think James and Victoria’s storyline should have been more integrated from earlier on in the book. It felt a bit like it was dropped in for a twist out of nowhere once we had established Bella and Edward’s story. I felt the two stories could have been happening more concurrently. 

Lastly, I loved hearing a deeper explanation for Edward’s actions. In particular, hearing him explain to her about the first day meeting her, why he had to leave after, why he stopped the van etc. Even going into detail about Alice and Jasper’s backstory - It just really developed the characters for me. 

Overall, I actually loved this book. Both Edward and Bella had a great development through their stories and I found them both even more endearing in book format. I felt their motivations were much more clear to me during the book and I loved their relationship! Yes. Loved.

Good. Some points were slow but other than that it was very good

Having enjoyed the movie, I decided to dive into the entire Twilight Saga - and I’m so glad I did. The book is far better than the movie, offering a deeper, more intense look at the characters and their emotions. The writing pulls you into Bella and Edward’s world in a way the screen simply couldn’t capture. It’s addictive, mysterious, and undeniably captivating.

Didn’t love the first 2/3 but the ending got interesting. I feel like Twilight is kind of a YA classic but I was too young to read them when they came out so I’m giving them a shot!

jsem neskutečně překvapená tím, jak moc se mi to actually líbilo. bála jsem se, že u toho budu trpět, nebudu chtít vůbec číst a strávím u toho minimálně tři měsíce, ale světě div se, je to první kniha tohoto roku, kterou jsem přečetla ani ne za sedm dní. bavila mě. velká písmena, čtivost, akce... tohle všechno byly veliký výhody za který jsem moc ráda. ani mi to nepřišlo tak strašně trapný jako ten film. musím vážně uznat, že Stmívání je jedna z nejlépe napsaných YA romantik co jsem zatím četla. i když měla Bella občas přeslazený řeči ohledně Edwarda, jako např. jeho andělský hlas a tvář, dokonalá pleť atd., pořád jsem to nějakým záhadným způsobem zvládala číst lépe než jiné zamilované příběhy.

sečteno a podtrženo, myslím, že pokud si to chcete přečíst ale bojíte se, jděte do toho! čte se to vážně rychle, není to nudné a písmenka jsou veliká... co víc si přát!

I enjoyed this book as I'd recently re-watched the film, and I like to have the visualisation when reading a book that's been made into a film. As usual there is far more detail in the book, which I enjoyed, the book itself is not particularly well written in my opinion, but still readable if you enjoyed the films. I will read the remaining books in due course - I don't think I could cope with them one after the other!

The five star is literally for pure nostalgia and idc what anyone says  (this is a reread)

This took me forever to get through. The last 50 pages or so were kind of worth it?

Este libro me encantó desde el principio. Hizo que me enganchará más con la lectura y empecé cómo lectora. No es una obra de arte de la literatura pero sin duda a una generación nos abrió la puerta de la literatura. Le guardo un cariño super especial.❣️❣️❣️

I liked the illustrations more than the story itself.
