I rated this book with "awful" because I was cringing all the way through it. My biggest pet peeve about it isn't even the storyline; it's Bella Swan. She's the most static, one dimensional character I've ever had the misfortune of reading about. I recommend this book to read only if you really want to know what the fuss is about. You won't be impressed.

i'm a sucker for these sort of romance stories, so i wasn't too surprised to find myself checking out this book. i don't know why, but i find myself liking this series, even though i know the writing is pretty bad and the plot is lacking. twilight is not a good book, by any means, so if you want deep, meaningful literature, don't come here, but there's something about this story that makes me feel like love isn't hopeless (despite the fact that edward and bella's relationship is kind of weird and unstable). this series is an easy read, and if you want a fluffy teenage romance story filled with the supernatural, you've come to the right place.

This story wasn't as bad as I originally thought. It wasn't the best romance novel, but it wasn't horrible. To me, it was written like a fanfiction on wattpad. Since it's like a fanfiction to me I wan't expecting it to be good. Especially with the memes and jokes surrounding the franchise. The story itself was alright. The relationship between Edward and Bella is destructive. I didn't really like the way the author portrayed Edward, because has experienced a century of human life, yet he doesn't act like he has. In m mind, someone who has lived decades should have a different view of life. Bella was a bit annoying, like a main character in a fanfic would act. She was "in love" with Edward, even though she barely knew him? She also did things which could jeopardize everyone around her, but she didn't care about them as much as she said she did. I would still read the series. It was actually pretty good, but don't take the series to seriously.

My aunt can't wait for me to be old enough to read and watch it!

it's a good series

Great story! Edward and Bella are good together. It's pretty intense on the part where James comes in.

this book is the best!!!!!!totaly kept me reading the entire time.
the whole series is amazing. i read it at 11 and i was kind of to young.13 and over would be good

I chose to live one of those lives as an angsty teenage girl in Forks, Washington surrounded by a clan of vampires. Despite not quite fitting into the target demographic, I found great enjoyment in Twilight. I initially read it in the height of it's popularity, which, tends to make all books a little better. Always having someone to discuss it with. Now you're hard-pressed to find anyone that does anything but bash the work. If you're a fan of YA, vampires, coming of age stories, or romance, I suggest giving this a shot. Forget any criticism you may have heard, let yourself be immersed in the world, and dive in. You just might like it.

So the book is basically about a girl who moves in with her father and when she gets down there she gets signed into school and when she gets in class this boy was looking at her and when the days go by they are getting closer to each other and the boy edward tries to protect the girl bella and when he does there are obstacles in their way and it stops them sometimes and then another boy comes in named jacob and he also likes bella and edward doesn’t like jacob because basically edward is a vampire and jacob is a werewolf and they have arguments. I kinda like the book it has its ups and down and it has it’s good and it’s bad moments sometimes it can get boring when you keep reading it but at the beginning, it has a lot of good parts to it

There are few YA books I've read that fail so horribly. There is barely a plot, the characters are absolutely horrendous, and Edward and Bella fit just about every criterion for a toxic relationship. The "romantic" dialogue was the only enjoyable part of this book, and that's just because it's so bad that it's laughable. It's really scary for me to think that this relationship was "goals" for so many teenagers back when it came out.
