Twilight (The Twilight Saga, 1)

The book that inspired the global film phenomenon, starring Kristin Stewart and Robert Pattinson.

Fall in love with the addictive, suspenseful love story between a teenage girl and a vampire that redefined romance for a generation, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephenie Meyer.

Isabella Swan's move to Forks--a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington--could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Bella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn.

So far, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Isabella, the person Edward holds most dear. The lovers find themselves balanced precariously on the point of a knife--between desire and danger.

Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight  captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.

Easy read from start to finish. The book takes you along a path of how two people who should not be together are unable to stay apart do to their overall attraction to each other, despite one being a vampire.

Rereading it 14 years later made me realize I’ll never grow up, I still love this book like I did back then!

upršané počasie made me do it. dosť si užívam revisiting teenage me, aj keď s odstupom rokov len strhávam hviezdičky (čo už, a možno aj to, že som práve doma mala len slovenský preklad, a nie anglický originál, ktorý sa mi teda zdá o čosi lepší)

Definitely better than what I thought it was going to be and better than the movie. I still have my issues with it personally, but I don’t have the energy to write all of that right now. Give it a chance though, maybe you’ll like it.
