Rating: - Prepare to be DAZZLED!
I could go on forever about this book! It all started when the author Stephanie Myer had a dream about a vampire who was in love with a simple girl, but they couldnt be together because he wanted to drink her blood. That one dream turned into this MASSIVE phenomenon which is now Twilight. If you havent seen the movie, GO SEE IT! You will not regret it. I've seen it more than once and loved it each time just as much as the last. Twilight is the first of the series of four books by Myer.

Its a love story about a girl, Bella, who moves to a new school and ends up being intrigued by the mysterious and confusing Edward who turns out to be a 107 year old vampire. He and his family are good vampires, but Edward is drawn to Bellas scent and has to fight the urge he has kill her whilst at the same time, falling in love with her.

Its an amazing love story.. i would say the best ive read so far. I read all four in less than two weeks- i couldnt put them down.

Buy this book and read the first couple of chapters-- you'll see what the big deal is about! People everywhere are going crazy over Twilight, and if you havent read the book you are MISSING OUT!

Girls will fall in love with Edwards character, and guys.. well, theres an action packed vampire baseball game and heaps of action towards the end that you will just love.

Its fantastic!

It is great for any collector of books and is beautifully done. Plus a little supprise w/ Meyers' autograugh on the tittle page. A must have for book collector's and ture Twilighters!!!

Rating: - romance novel
This contains spoilers, please do not read if you have not read all four of the books. A female fantasy, the books represent exactly what girls young and old dream about, the vampire aspect is just added on to make the story a little more interesting. I felt cheated, because if I wanted to read a cheap romance novel I would have turned away. I bought the book because it was on the best seller list and the movie came out, so I thought it must be good if it was already made into a movie. I am not going to analyze the writing, many have done before me. In some aspect the author is extremely talented, because the books do draw you in, she is spot on describing how falling in love feels like, and later on how heartbreak feels like. However, the last book in the series, I was embarrassed to read someone else's wishful thinking or daydreaming. I gave this one star because it is very very damaging for young girls to read a book like this and think that it has something to do with reality. The heroine suffers from such low self esteem and yet manages to be popular. If girls behaved like Bella they would spend their lives as spinsters. There is nothing less attractive from a male perspective than the total lack of self confidence. The book is like a drug for females only comparable perhaps to magazines showing a lot of skin made for the male population.

The on-board menus, entertainment and lecture program will be geared to British tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and she will have a British Captain and Officers.   In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000 vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery  in 2006.   Enjoy a Cruise on Queen Victoria.  The lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.
