I was really able to get right in to this book & read it straight through in one sitting. It had the pull that made it feel near impossible to put the book down at the end of any of the chapters to take a break. The end of each chapter ended on such a note as to make you highly curious about what was about to happen. I'm 24, so I'm outside the YA rating, but still found it to be a good read. However, some word choices just didn't fit with the rating or the book in general; they took away from the book and made it seem childish, which didn't suit any of the characters (which came off as fairly mature high schoolers). Quite possibly the worst offender was "sparkle".
In any case, the book was a good read. I thought the characters were well thought out and well portrayed through the words. Each character's story was rolled out such that it paves the way for their involvements in the future books. The only major thing I found lacking was that the book seemed a little short for all of the information that was crammed into it. It seemed like there wasn't enough time to get a feel for the characters when there was so much other information being thrown in to support future storylines. Beefing up the novel enough to give a good balance to both character development and information passage would have made for more depth in the novel. There were a lot of really good events that went on, and the author should have taken advantage of that to go more in depth with each, creating a richer story.
The end of the book was good, but at the same time very abrupt. We finally get to where we're getting some decent plotline with the characters (sadly it was nearly the end of the book when this happened, rather than opening slowly over the course of the whole book) and suddenly everything appears to just fall apart (if you read the book 2 "preview" at the end). While this book was good, it really had a feel that it was aimed for very young teens, almost pre-teen age range, rather than young adult in general. As a general note, this book reminded me (several times, in several ways) of the HBO series "Tru Blood".

I saw the movie and could hardly wait to read the book. I wasn't disappointed either, the book was even better than the movie. I would recommend it to any fantasy reader.

This book is so amazing!Even though he is just a book character and now a character in a movie you fall totally and completely in L-O-V-E love with Edward Cullen. When he is described you just wish he truly exsisted. you want to be with him you want him to touch you fall in love with you. Stephenie Meyer wrote this amazing story!!!!
Twilight January 7, 2009

I LOVE THIS BOOK. Well, actually, I love the entire series. I have read Twilight 4 times. It was such a great read, that it only took me a day and a half to read the entire book. (if that) I couldn't put it down. I purchased the other three books maybe 2 weeks later. It took me a week to read the other 3. I loved them all. You really can't get one, and not get the others. I almost didn't get New Moon because of some bad reviewes. I'm glad I chose to see for myself. It's all about personal preference. So.... If you're a romantic at heart, and you have an open mind.... then you'll love them ALL. If you're a skeptic, and need complete and utter realism... you may have problems. It just depends. I love Love.... and everything that it entails... the Good... and the Bad. So, this was the perfect series for me.
