Twilight

The Twilight Saga, Book 1

By: Stephenie Meyer

Narrated by: Ilyana Kadushin

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.

“I’D NEVER GIVEN MUCH THOUGHT TO HOW I WOULD DIE– I’d had reason enough in the last few months –but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this. . . . Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of something else, someone I loved. Noble, even. That ought to count for something.”
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 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 extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight will have readers riveted right until the very last page is turned.

Wow

I am not a teenager. I do not read fiction. I did end up reading all four books and loved them! I do not want to leave this world. Which is why I am rereading breaking dawn. So..Waiting for Midnight Sun! The movie does not do this book justice and the narrator of this was awesome. I am looking for more books with her as the narrator!

Compelling listening

For some reason this very simple and beautifully written story was very hard to put down. I am an older reader and have "read" many excellent audio books and this is one is such a lovely story with an excellent narrater and highly recommended.

Wonderful fantasy!!

OK, I am TOTALLY hooked! I was a little worried about this being a "Kids" book. But then I got hooked on the Harry Potter series as well. This is just very well written. The descriptions give you a clear picture of the characters. The story line is both predictable in parts and a surprise in others. I will definitely be reading the other two in the series and will be purchasing the 4th and final in the series when it comes out in August.

Great open to a great story.

What did you like best about this story?

Its a good start to a story I have high hopes for... I am really excited for book 2.

What about Ilyana Kadushin’s performance did you like?

She did a great job. I really enjoy the performance.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did! Then the next day I immediately started book 2.

Any additional comments?

Great open to a great story. Keep an open mind for those more mature readers. Although you will enjoy the story keep in mind it’s not a brilliantly written piece. The story isn’t complex or any hidden mysteries. Everything is pretty straight forward but good regardless. I would say the target is more for teens and young adults. Ready for book two.

A Good Read that Kept My Interest

Entertaining! I read the entire Twilight Series and enjoyed each and every one of them. The characters were well developed and the storyline in each book was interesting and very entertaining. I would have loved to have more to read and was sad when I finished this last of the series.
