“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.”

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

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

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

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!"

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.

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

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

Of course he would, you nearly just destroyed someone’s Toyota

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

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

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

"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.

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

Author has issues of dragging out details that have little to no consequence in the story (atleast for the first book as I am yet to read the others in this series) and it feels as if each chapter was written in sessions where the author set a page goal rather than a story goal. 

This issue is less noticeable in the second half where I found it hard to put the book down.

First half slow, Second half amazing.

Twilight [audiobook]

I’ve tried to finish this book so many times and every time the same thing stops me: I don’t care. The protagonist is dull and unrelatable, the love interest is basically just a creepy wall for the heroine to project onto. The descriptions are hollow the plot is lacklustre and the dialogue is long winded. It’s like it was trying so hard to be mysterious it forgot to be good.

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.

Ive become obsessed with this idea that edward is a religiously traumatized masochist who is drawn to the fact that bella's blood physically hurts him / he unconsciously sees this relationship as a way to exercise self denial and defeat himself (the monster). I love bella too, deeply alienated from humanity and romanticizing the idea of an existence separate from it. Cant stop thinking about them.

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

just because it's one of my comfort reads doesn't mean it's a good book lol

WORST book I have ever read. Glorified fanfiction that a 13-year-old could have written better. Horrible, horrible stretched out plot, flat characters, complete Mary Sue protagonist. Just.. sucks. Sorry.

Świetnaa książka! Dużżo lepsza niż film , więcej się dzieje. Widać że bohaterowie mają uczucia i mocne charaktery , które są świetnie opisane. Bella jest ludzka i widać jak Edward jest dla niej ważny i jak bardzo nie wyobraża sobie bez niego życia. <br /><br />Na pewno będę kontynuowała ale chce się nią napawać :D

In the first book of the Twlilight Saga, internationally bestselling author Stephenie Meyer introduces Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, a pair of star-crossed lovers whose forbidden relationship ripens against the backdrop of small-town suspicion and a mysterious coven of vampires. This is a love story with bite.

Twilight: Stephenie Meyer (English Edition)

a fun read but goddamn a 100 whatever year old being with a 17 year old who wants to die for him seems so wrong lol

Nicole Elora

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

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!

Julie Twist

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?
