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.
Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning? In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by 12 outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.
Earth has been invaded by a species that takes over the minds of human hosts while leaving their bodies intact. But Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away.
Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!
St. Vladimir’s Academy isn’t just any boarding school - it’s a hidden place where vampires are educated in the ways of magic, and half-human teens train to protect them. Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, a bodyguard for her best friend Lissa, a Moroi Vampire Princess. They’ve been on the run, but now, they’re being dragged back to St. Vladimir’s - the very place where they’re most in danger....
A set textbook at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry since publication, Newt Scamander's masterpiece has entertained wizarding families through the generations. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is an indispensable introduction to the magical beasts of the wizarding world. Scamander's years of travel and research have created a tome of unparalleled importance.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would first excuse me for how much of fiction this story is and than tell them that I read one book after another!
Would you recommend Breaking Dawn to your friends? Why or why not?
Yes I would.
Any additional comments?
It is very well read, this makes already half the pleasure. And it is a very romantic story, very much a chick-lit.
Breaking Dawn is my favourite of the books, it isn't going to the extremes concerning the plot as it is about a coming to age story of a girl in love with a vampire and a wolf. I find Walters impressions of a female voice quite amusing and it made me giggle a few times but it never deferred from the openness and angst of all the characters. I am disappointed that people who are ready to listen to a story concerning mythical creatures and legends are perfectly happy to dismiss the ending of the plot altogether. There is a reason why it's called fiction. Over all a very good read and i find myself hardly picking up the book any more, prefering to listen instead.

I have listened to these books quite often, they are beautifully read and very easy to follow
I am new to listening to a book and I would love to read them in their written form but my eyes are no longer able to do so.
I have got over being read to and now love hearing them all.

This is a guilty pleasure of mine. There's holes in the plot and it is make-believe in the extreme, but that's ok. I listen to these books every so often when walking the dog, easy listening, although the narrator's voice is quite irritating, you do get over it eventually

I found this book a bit too long, it felt like there was quite a bit of repetition in it. Overall loved this & the whole 4 book saga.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend the series - I had not watched any of the films as with the hype made me ambivalent but I decided to give the original book a chance. So glad I did.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I love all three of the main characters and they are so well written that you can read the development of their emotions. Even the non-central characters are well written and developed. I really like Edward and the internal turmoil he is going through - the way he is prepared to release Bella if that is for the best because he loves her but also prepared to fight to the very end if that is what is needed. I also love his complete trust.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
I know it is very sentimental but I loved the wedding and ached at Jacobs reaction. I really felt for him but loved the solid commitment made by the married couple.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I cried a few times but during the stand-off when Bella and Edward were saying goodbye to their child made my heartache.
Any additional comments?
I am so glad this series ended correctly. Lots of turmoil and stress but things do work out in the end with one or two twists.
I recently read a well-known thirteen book series which didn't conclude correctly and caused me stress after investing many hours in the story and characters but The Twilight Series was one of the best thing I have read this year. I will not bother to watch the films as the actors never look the way I picture the characters in my imagination.
Well worth reading.

I read award winning and thought hmm give it a go.
It was ear vomit.
The story was all padding leading up to an enormous battle at the end, both sides decided wasnt worth the effort went home and the book ended.
Unless you enjoy very long detailed descriptions of the clothes vampires wear get something else Perdido street station was the best ive heard in a while and I dont usually go for that sort of thing
