I bought this book for my daughter who is 12. My daughter has been hassling me for some time to be allowed to read horror books - however vampires and pre-teens do not lead to a good night's sleep for their parents. Being a "good" mother I read it first! And... I was pleasantly surprised.

I thought the story line was excellent and well pitched for a 12 year old. While the story was most definitely based on the horror genre and covered teenage issues for the late teens, it was written in a way which was not overly graphic/explicit and allowed the reader to interpret the text based on their own experiences. In other words, your average pre-teen will not be confronted with issues they do not have the experience to deal with but will feel very grown up to be reading about vampires.

My Girlfriend got this book out from the Library and has read it 3 times so far thats how good it is. She has returned it and wants to buy it now. She reads books all the time and couldn’t put this one down from front to back. Finished the hole book in one night. A+++

I have read this book over 10 times now and yet it still amazes me! Stephenie Meyer's story line is genious and so capturing that you feel you are right there with Bella, Edward, and the rest of the Cullens.

This a magnificent and insightful work full of passion and intrigue. It illustrates all the hardships that a young girl has to go through even without the added bonus of having a vamp as a boyfriend.

it was great the condition was excellent when i recieved it and the book itself is like a modern day romeo and juliette where there love is forbidden and it also teaches kids about patients i think by the way its so innocent and pure it was written really well because you just could not leave the book alone until it was finished

Best ever one u could read over and over just hooked

I resisted buying this book because of the hype. When I gave in, I read the entire book in one afternoon. Thrilling, pulse racing, emotional. This book pulls at the heart, the mind, the stomach..everywhere.
Superbly written and a great read. Buy this book, settle down on the couch one rainy day and prepare to feel like a sixteen year old with a crush on a movie star. Your heart will flutter, I guarantee it.

Loved the movie, book was better though.
Easy Read, managed to read in a few hours, really enjoyed and couldnt wait to read the rest.

I bought this book because everyone I knew were all raving about it and since I love reading, I thought...I will decide how good it is for myself. I thought it might be a mushy love story of teenagers with the usual stuff but I was wrong! It is so well written that the story appeals to everyone, teenager or not. There are so many issues to think about the Edward's decisions in the book create more complication for Bella - the connection between Edward and Bella is awesome and the love is so pure and new - Stephanie Meyer has captured the essence of what it is like falling in love for the first time and having that emotional connection that is irrestible and undeniable. The Supernatural theme is also exciting.
