Anyone who enjoys suspense, action, science fiction, and romance. Anyone will easily fall in love with this book, and possibly Edward.

The romance and relationship between Bella and Edward. I also loved the descriptive action.

Nothing. I was totally engrossed into the book the entire time and was never bored.

Cry, I never wanted it to end. I wanted to immediately go back to Borders and buy the next two.

I think I felt every emotion possible while reading. The way my emotions blended though made me want to read even more.

It is a great spin on the classic cliches of Vampires and the relationship between humans and the unnatural.

I could never NOT recommend this book, it is possibly the best I've read in a long time, and I read at least one book a week.

It is the type of story that is so beautifully written, you begin to think that you'll miss something if you stop reading. It has almost a spell that draws you further and further into Bella's life and makes you believe you are standing right with the characters. It makes you think, dream, and even jump at times. You almost feel like screaming out as if Bella or Edward could really hear you. It is a terrific storyline, and makes the old halloween tales, seem like they were written by kindergarteners.
