Edward - By: Karen Whetstone, 04 Oct 2008 
I wont describe the plot because it very comlex & ultimatley i think it would be best left as a suprise. Although i will say this. If your prepared to fallin love with a book charactor (Edward Cullen) & are looking for something with romance, action & drama then this is the book for you! (cheesy i know lol). Its one of the best books ive readin a long time & would reccomend it to everyone. (myself & my girlfriends think every boy should read this book & look to Edward as a sort of role model). The story line to this will be on your mind at all times during the reading & its an amazing book. i would say read the book before the film comes out (yes there is a film out soon) as watching a film before reading the book generally ruins the book & i wouldnt want that for anyone!
Tat that is absorbing - By: Constance Bell, 03 Oct 2008 
not bad for a kiddies book. all that angst etc. shame some the actual writing was a bit bland, i.e., describing teh main character as 'looking furious' most of teh time, although the main male character is the best thing of teh whole series. a schoolgirls dream man. this is where the series gets its votes with the very young female readers.the beggining of teh next installment added at teh end with a cliff hanger is also a clever marketing ploy for you to rush out & buy the next book.
some of teh other charactersin teh story are also unbeleivable. why would Charlie let his daughter stay out all night doing what she likes? the writer tries to make you think of him as homer simpson whenin fact he's a well respected policeman.
story of mush that while isnt excellant is strangely absorbing.even for someone like mein their twenties.
Brilliant - By: E. Nolan, 01 Oct 2008 i thought it was a brilliant book i read it around work & college, & still managed to finnish itin two days, i couldnt put it down!!!
Twilight saga - By: John K. Parnell, 26 Sep 2008 I listened to this as an audiobook read by Ilyana Kadushin so I can't vouch for the typos & grammatical errors other readers have mentioned. Ilyana's voice was pleasant, soft & a bit raspy, oncein a while some sort of accent driftedin but quickly disappeared. Sometimes she came off as if she was just reading boredly off the page without putting any emotion into the sentences at all. (In comparison to the vivid & lively Jim Dales reading of the Harry Potter Series or Anne Hathaway's reading of the Princess Diaries) allin all an ok performance, I'd give it 3 1/2 stars.
I felt that the story itself was very boring. A girl fallsin love with a good looking face to the point where she's willing to give up all her friends, her family, her life, even her soul. Sounds like an alcoholic or a drug addict. Apparently the boy feels the same way too but he's morein love with her smell.
It's all pretty shallow. If Edward was fugly would she even care? Edward would be like "OMG Bella I love your smell! Plzbe my g/f!!" And Bella would be all '"GTFO Creep!" I glared & grimaced!'
You know I'm right!
The next bunch of chapters is just dialogues where she cringes, grimaces & glares glares glares, she literally glares at least once per minute. & if shes not glaring someone else is. I understand that when theres lots of dialogue the author wants to put tags there to make sure the reader can figure out who said what but this was pretty ridiculous.
after about 8 chapters of glaring the story suddenly picked up when three other vampires show up out of nowhere & the leader randomly decides he wants him some Bella. so, instead of just squishing him like a bug, the gang goes on a wild goose chasein which lame predicatable drama ensues & THEN surprise the bad guy gets squished like a bug.
and then Bella & Edward sigh glare grimace & cringe at each other some more. If you enjoy young adult, Alex Rider, Jason Steed & Ravens Gate books you will really love the Twilight Saga
