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 sc...

#Tammy, Pikeville, Ky (2008-11-23) I love this book! I read a lot but nothing has captivated me since the Harry Potter series until now! I m on the third book and can t wait until I get all on them read! It s good reading for 13+ ages.

#Captivating (2008-11-23) I Was hesitant at first to read this book, but once I starting reading it, I could not put it down. I was, and still am, and advid Anne Rice fan and, though this is not in the same league as the Vampire Chronicles, it s good to see someone reviving the spirit of the Vimpire. Although this book, along with the rest of the series, are written more for the teen audience, I found it captivating enough for an audience of any age. I suggest if you have not read it, or are as skeptical as I was, just give it a chance!

#When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it s not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end. (2008-11-23) If you don t know by now that this is a story about a romance between a seventeen-year-old girl (named Isabella Bella Swan) and a bizarre, beautiful boy vampire named Edward Cullen, both of whom live in Forks, Washington, you must be living in a cave. The tale is this: because her Phoenix-based mother is often off traveling with her new husband (Bella s stepfather, Phil), the pretty, somewhat solitary, smart teen and only child chooses to move in wi...

#A new lover of books born! (2008-11-23) I bought this series for my daughter who is 12. She has NEVER been a reader and I was trying my best to light a spark. It worked!!! She finished all four of them in a month and is now asking for MORE! That alone makes me a fan. Stephenie Meyer inspired at least one little girl to love to read and for me, her mother, that makes the book a success. Personally, I read the book and found it slow and the characters a little flat/bland. If I hadn t had the other three and moved from one to the next and the next, I would have thought the boo...

#Gag me! (2008-11-22) Okay, I like vampire books. . . That s about all I read. I ve been reading the Southern Vampire series ever since the first book came out (in case you don t know, that s the book series that True Blood is based off of). I liked the Anita Blake books until she turned into a slut. I like Rachel Caine s Morganville Vampire series, which is actually a Young Adult series. Oh, and The Hollows series, with Rachel Morgan? Excellent! In addition to these books, I also like Buffy and Angel and have been collecting the comics, even though I ve never been interested i...

Legions of readers entranced by Twilight are hungry for more and they won t be disappointed. In New Moon, Stephenie Meyer delivers another irresistible combination of romance and suspense with a supernatural twist. The star-crossed lovers theme continues as Bella and Edward find themselves facing new obstacles, including a devastating separation, the mysterious appearance of dangerous wolves roaming the forest in Forks, a terrifying threat of revenge from a female vampire and a deliciously sinister encounter with Italy s reigning royal family of vampires, the Volturi. Passionate, riveting, and full of surprising twists and turns, this vampire love saga is well on its way to literary immortality.

#The exellence continues! (2008-11-23) This book is just as riveting as the first one. I finished New Moon two days after it arrived at my house. The saga gets better as the books continue. :)

#moonlight (2008-11-22) This is a wonderful book. Probly the slowest and least attenion getting than the rest of the books in the Twilight Saga. This is a wonderful collection and I would recommend all four books to anyone.

#Good Book (2008-11-22) The only thing I did not like was that Edward hardly appears in the book. But other than the book is as entertaining as the first.

#LOVED THIS BOOK - HOPE THEY MAKE A MOVIE TO FOLLOW TWILIGHT (2008-11-21) This book is a wonderful follow up. Everyone I have loaned my books to are asking me to buy them a copy for christmas. Yes, they have read them, but say they can t wait to reread them. I just can t even begain to explain how wonderful the book are to read. I my self have already read them twice and can t wait to see the twilight movie, but I am hoping they will follow up the movie twilight with movies of new moon, eclipse, and breaking dawn. I hope they don t just leave us hanging.

#GREAT BOOK (2008-11-21) I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK. STEPHANIE MEYERS IS A GREAT AUTHOR. HER BOOKS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN COMPLETELY THRILLING. A GREAT BOOK TO READ.

The Audacity of Hope is Barack Obama s call for a new kind of politics—a politics that builds upon those shared understandings that pull us together as Americans. Lucid in his vision of America s place in the world, refreshingly candid about his family life and his time in the Senate, Obama here sets out his political convictions and inspires us to trust in the dogged optimism that has long defined us and that is our best hope going forward.

#Simply Brilliant! (2008-11-23) The title says it all! Barack Obama reveals his policy ideas for the nation and the sub-text makes it readily evident why he was elected president of the United States. In typical Obama fashion, his ideas are well-considered and thoughtfully crafted. Given the historical nature of his presidency, this would make an excellent gift for anyone who does not own it. I ve given several.

#Presidential (2008-11-23) An Enlightening insight into our new president. Agree or disagree, the throngs who claimed during his campaign that he offed no specifics simply needed to crack a book. Showcasing his unusual ability to fairly and accurately include other opinions in defining his own, Obama s comprehention of contrary philosophies shines forth in a distinguished and diplomatic prose. Well grounded in common sense, candor and hard work, Mr. Obama brings us into his world and his thought processes. One comes away with the distict feeling that even if you don t agree with th...

#The real Barack Obama? (2008-11-19) For anyone out there wondering who the real Barack Obama is, The Audacity of Hope will give you one clear idea. It is part memoir, part political manifesto, encompassing his comprehensive vision for America. The book reveals him to be very smart, well read, compassionate, and sometimes quite funny. I think few people reading the book will agree with him on every policy issue, and no one is really prepared to take on the problems facing our country. But, reading this book gave me faith that the American people have elected a very capable public s...

#Good Read (2008-11-18) Though not as good as Dreams from my Father, a well written book. The book talks deeply about Barack s ideals and issues with the current state of politics. Though you may not agree with his political views, Barack is an undeniably intellegent person who is not afraid to express his political views. The message was powerful, it is now just a matter of executing.

#Great Book! (2008-11-17) After reading this book, all I can say is, I m so glad I voted for him. This book is inspiring, thoughtful and hopeful. Read it. I would also recommend highly his other book: Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance
