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.

Beautifully Spoken

I’ve always loved the twilight movies. I just got into reading and i’d agree, the books are much better than the movies. i finished the first book so fast i’m off to get the next. such a beautiful story.

Different from actual book.

I’ve read all the hard books more times than I could count and just by hearing the preface I’m mad because its not from the actual book. Smh. So disappointed

Guilty Pleasure, But…

So, this is my guilty pleasure. We all have them, right? This could have been a guilty comfort that I returned to again and again, but what kills it for me is the narrator. I understand that the main character is a teenager, but her voice is whiny and hard to listen to. Definitely NOT the Bella I heard in my head when I read the book. Would recommend if you have never read the books or seen the movies and have absolutely no expectations.

Hate the narrator.

Her voice is incredibly annoying. She reads Bella like she’s a little on the slow side. It’s very annoying. I read some reviews from the other books and it doesn’t get any better. Not sure if I can hang in there.

Narrator ruins it

Was a lot like how I remembered. Definitely for a younger audience, as I remember relating to Bella a lot when I was in my teens. Now that I’m an adult, I find her to be a little bit frustrating, yet I think she behaves in a more realistic way that a teenager would. If I had to say my biggest complaint for this audiobook, it would be the narrator. I feel like there wasn’t a lot of life to her voice, she didn’t really try different voices for the characters, some of the words were read very wrong, or she plain interpreted tone in a way that I didn’t when I read the books. Not my favorite narrator, sorry.
