i absolutely love this book. i’ve watched the movies over and over again but never had the time to read the book. i love the cullen family so much and especially alice. this book is just so hard to put down. can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

18 year old me loved everything about Twilight. Apart from ‘The Vampire Diaries’, there wasn’t much else related to vampire's in the young adult genre. 
The premise of the book was so appealing to young girls, that the fandom alone made the release of each book in the series more exciting. 
I remember falling in love with Edward and the idea of him immediately. He was a tortured soul, doomed to walk the earth alone for centuries, until he met Bella. 

It’s been criticised over the years for poor writing quality, but ‘Stephanie Mayer’ never tried to insinuate it was a sophisticated, complex book. For what ‘Twilight’ is (a teen romance book) it’s Perfectly good & has certainly maintained its popularity as a coming of age story.
