Publisher's summary

About three things I was certain.

First, Edward was a vampire.

Second, there was a part of him, and I didn't know how dominant that part might be, that thirsted for my blood.

And Third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.

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 sensuous and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.

Makes sense after ten years.

I can’t believe I waited 10 years to finally listen to the book version. It makes way better sense than the movie. I was never really a fan of the movie, but I was bored and recently saw it on Hulu so I said why not? Rewatching the movie it didn’t make any sense and it made me curious enough to give the book version a try. I’m on the second book and now I’m a fan of it.

IM HOOKED

The narrator is great, I don’t know what these other reviews are talking about, she sounds like how I’d imagine Bella to sound like. I watched the movies before reading the books and I’m so hooked on the small details that the movie glanced over. Amazing!!! Can’t wait to start New Moon!!!!!

Book better than movie

Vampires are a fascination of mine. So I would probably enjoy the story regardless in some aspects. The only issue I had besides the overly obsessive behavior and sparkling vampires, is the narrator. Her voice was pleasant to listen to, except none of the other characters had any distinction really. Men sounded like a women and women sounded exactly like Bella and the narrator. So it was kind of hard really get into the story because of that for me. Anyway the story was okay over all.

Good young adult story

Good story. A little light on plot, with some unbelievably dumb choices on the part of our heroine, but good overall. The narrator could be a little stiff at times, but not bad.

the narrator :(

let me first say that this series is one of my favorites. that being said... i wish there was a female version of Nick Podehl that did the narration of this book. the way she pronounced BELL-AHHH every time was so.... to put it simply, annoying. i was sad. i was really looking forward to it. i just wish it was read better :(

vocals

the narrator did well, but sounded to young/childish in vocals for the character.. even though Bella was a teenager she was to have a wisdom in her voice not a childlike sound.
