"Damn lady! I asked for answers, not essays!"

Hahahaha, that's so funny!.!.

Anyway, on with Twilight:

A lot of guys think it's stupid just because all the girls like it and stuff, but it's really a good book!. It's about this vampire, Edward Cullen, and he falls in love with this human girl, Bella Swan!. The first book is just mainly about them but as the sequel (New Moon) progresses, werewolves are brought into the story!.

It's a REALLY good book!. If you're not too interested in it, give it a try anyway!. If you don't like it, that's fine!. Just give it a shot :)

Hope I helped! & I hope my answer isn't too long for ya, lolWww@QuestionHome@Com

Do you want to dive into an exhilarating novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat!? Twilight will do the job! Twilight is the first book to Stephenie Meyer’s exciting series!. This novel is filled with suspense, drama, action, lust, and love!. It replays the theme of Romeo and Juliet: Can true love survive through everything!? Meyer will have you flipping through the pages faster than you realize in this addicting novel!. Bella always thought of herself as a normal girl normal in the sense that she wasn’t important!. Her parents had divorced when she was young so her mother took her to Phoenix, Arizona to live with her!. But now, years later, Bella’s mother has remarried and Bella doesn’t want to be a burden so she decided to live with her dad in Forks, Washington!. Forks’ wet, groggy, and depressing setting is quite a contrast to the warm sunshine of Phoenix!. Bella’s mood changes to match the setting when she moves!. Bella had once thought she would be miserable in Forks, but now it’s the only place on earth where she would want to live!. Her reason for that, which is quite a huge reason, is because her true love Edward has to live there!. Edward is a vampire! He’s not like the vampires you may have heard in comic books and horror movies, but a good vampire!. Rather than eating people, Edward and his family feed on animals!. Despite his efforts to remain moral, he and his family still have the thirst, and Bella smells exceptionally delicious!. Edward was drawn to Bella by her smell, and Bella was drawn to Edward by his perfection and beauty!. It didn’t take long for Edward to love Bella, and he would never harm her so he has to work even harder to control himself!. From the first person point of view of Bella, the reader sees her running thoughts and can also appreciate Edward’s god-like beauty!. We see her humorous, sarcastic thoughts and the growing tension of her forbidden love!. Will Edward leave her to keep her safe!? Or will he turn her into a vampire so they can share their love for eternity!? As the reader becomes more and more addicted to this novel, Bella becomes addicted to Edward and cannot live without him, and we also don’t want them to separate!. But can their love survive the odds!? If Edward doesn’t eat Bella, others might!. But can he always protect her!? Or is he putting her in danger by being with her!? Meyer does a fantastic job of hooking readers into her wonderful world of vampires!. I would mostly recommend this book for young females, but everyone should give it a try!. This book is easy to fall in love with, so be careful not to eat it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is about a girl (called Bella) who falls in love with this guy Edward (who is a vampire)!. Here's the blurb so you can see what it's about (also note: It's one of the top 20 books in the bookstores at the moment and one of the top 50 books in 'books you can't put down' list):

About three things I was absolutely positive!.
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!.

When Isabella Swan moves to the gloomy town of Forks, and meets the mysterious, alluring Edward Cullen, her life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn!. With his porcelain skin, golden eyes, mesmerizing voice, and supernatural gifts, Edward is both irresistible and impenetrable!. Up until now, he has managed to keep his true identity hidden, but Bella is determined to uncover his dark secret!.

What Bella doesn't realize is that the closer she gets to him, the more she is putting herself and those around her at risk!. And it might be too late to turn back!.!.!.

Deeply seductive, and irresistibly compelling, the book 'Twilight' is an extraordinary love story that will stay with you long after you have turned the final page!.

It is a fantastic book! Most girls like it though because they fall in love with Edward Cullen!. He’s absolutely dreamy and a gentlemen (gentlemen are hard to find these days)!. He’s constantly looking out for Bella and has her best interests at heart!. It’s also helps that he’s astonishingly gorgeous!. This is how Stephenie Meyer describes him: breathtaking crooked smile!.!.!.silken irresistible voice!.!.!.And he’s so romantic!

He’s the perfect guy!. (Edward is handsome and intelligent, understanding and patient, mysterious yet open, and dangerous yet fiercely protective!.” — Mandi Bierly, EW!.com staffer)-quote from internet!.

A lot of guys really like it too though, as it's not just a love story!. There is pleanty of action/ fighting scenes where they fight other vampires, and in the later books there are werewolves too!. I strongly suggest you read it!. You will really like it!. (Heaps of guys do)!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

it's about a girl who falls in love with a vampire, and faces many life threatening complications along the way!. To a guy, it might be rather stupid, I've read the whole series so far, and it is a bit cheesy and lovey-dovey so I would definetly say it's more of a girls book, but some guys don't mind reading it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Here are some of the reviews that Twilight has received:

Amazon!.com
"Softly he brushed my cheek, then held my face between his marble hands!. 'Be very still,' he whispered, as if I wasn't already frozen!. Slowly, never moving his eyes from mine, he leaned toward me!. Then abruptly, but very gently, he rested his cold cheek against the hollow at the base of my throat!."
As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles!. In Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed!. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love!. But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because--he's a vampire!. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonizes over the danger!. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship!.
Meyer has achieved quite a feat by making this scenario completely human and believable!. She begins with a familiar YA premise (the new kid in school), and lulls us into thinking this will be just another realistic young adult novel!. Bella has come to the small town of Forks on the gloomy Olympic Peninsula to be with her father!. At school, she wonders about a group of five remarkably beautiful teens, who sit together in the cafeteria but never eat!. As she grows to know, and then love, Edward, she learns their secret!. They are all rescued vampires, part of a family headed by saintly Carlisle, who has inspired them to renounce human prey!. For Edward's sake they welcome Bella, but when a roving group of tracker vampires fixates on her, the family is drawn into a desperate pursuit to protect the fragile human in their midst!. The precision and delicacy of Meyer's writing lifts this wonderful novel beyond the limitations of the horror genre to a place among the best of YA fiction!. (Ages 12 and up) --Patty Campbell



From Publisher's Weekly's starred review: "The main draw here is Bella's infatuation with outsider Edward, the sense of danger inherent in their love, and Edward's inner struggle—a perfect metaphor for the sexual tension that accompanies adolescence!. These will be familiar to nearly every teen, and will keep readers madly flipping the pages of Meyer's tantalizing debut!."



From Becky Anderson, of Anderson's Bookshops: "What a totally amazing debut! Twilight is that rare story that combines suspense, desire, love and friendship with an awesome twist on the vampire genre! Both young adults and adults will be "sucked" into Edward's and Bella's world and beg for more, especially after they turn the last page!. I can't wait for the next book!"



From Karen Rosenthal, Children's Department Manager for R!.J!. Julia Booksellers (printed in Publisher's Weekly's "Galley Talk"): "I'm not usually a vampire book reader, but I haven't read a book in a long time that had as much sexual tension and creepy terror throughout as Twilight by Stephenie Meyer [Little, Brown]!. The main character is extremely compelling!. The protagonist is so consumed with her crush on him that she blocks everything else, and the fact that he's a vampire adds a whole other level!. It really is the perfect crossover book!. It will appeal to kids who read fantasy and darker books, but also kids who like more realistic fiction like Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, and all those kids who read Gossip Girl!.!.!. It's a riveting action book but thoughtful as well!. Sometimes teen books can be plot-driven and the quality of the writing goes out the window, but this one has both!."



And some reviews from teen readers:



"Twilight is one of the most moving books I have read in a long time!. It kept me thinking about it long after I read the last page!. Its heartbreaking romance and suspenseful twists made it hard for me to put the book down!. Twilight allows the reader to experience a whole new outlook on vampires and how they interact around mankind!. After reading this book I recommend it to anyone who would enjoy reading about an incredibly suspenseful romance!."

Katie, age 16



"Stephenie Meyer's first novel Twilight is a gripping journey through the united worlds of fantasy and high school!. As soon as I started reading Twilight, I couldn't stop!. The plot is the thing that led me to the book in the start!. Boy meets girl, girl likes boy, boy turns out to be a vampire!. The characters are so vivid, so intense, that you feel like if you look up from the pages Isabella or Edward or Alice is going to be staring at you!. This suspenseful novel leaves me with one question!.!.!. Is there going to be a second!?"

Kelly, 15



"Twilight caught my interest so much, I couldn't stand to put it down once I started!. I read this book in one sitting and didn't finish until 5:00 AM, but it was worth every minute!. It's the love story betweeWww@QuestionHome@Com
