This set of books is great for teens and adults alike. I watched the show with my kids and decided to get the books. One of daughters started book one, when she was finished and moved on to book 2 I began book one. I have 3 girls, by the time I got to book 2 I decided we needed an additional set of books. I got this hard back set for my self and gave my kids the mixed set I first had. They are very used now, we have all read the set of books multiple times. Some books like this make for a great family gathering time, to discus the books and get open hones conversation going. We have a great time comparring notes and sections of the books. My youngest daughter is 11 and there are some parts that she just doesn't understand, that is ok. She is reading and joining the family in a great joy. There are a few times where it may get a little provocative but Edward always reminds Bella that there virtue is most important. This is a great thing for girls to learn. Edward always pushes Bella to do her best and keep in mind her age and what is important not to do at her age, like sex. I think any family could read these together and gain a lot in the way of family interaction and understanding. This book could help families open up and help girls understand situations before they go wrong. Great Books!!!Vollständige Rezension lesen
This book series will get your imagination going. Most of us have seen the movies which makes placing these character's faces that much easier. The situations not shown on in the movies are filled in and the gaps in the plots are returned to their full meaning in the books. Very well written, and for those Jacob fans... He is not that innocent... My roomate hates Bella because she uses Jacob and is extremely selfish in her ways hurting him and vice versa... ( movie ). In the books, one can see he puts himself in these situations and pretty much launches himself on her, He has regard for her feelings, but unlike edward... His feelings come first not Bella's. A different take on vampires and warewolves. Enjoyable books.
They do look great but as u can see it says brand new, these r not brand new. If they were used, it should have sd like brand new, not brand new...... I got a note that sd i hope u enjoy them as much as i did, so evidently they r not new......but i hope my daughter does enjoy them for her birthday.

I am a 30 year old mother to a 12 year old daughter. I started reading the books because my daughter was and I like to make sure she isn't reading anything she isn't supposed too. Plus she asked me to read the books. I fell in love with the books-all four of them. I am one of those people that have to have a book in her hands and I reread a lot of my books (do to the fact that I can't find anymore that I like). I bought all four of the books for my daughter and in two weeks I was finished reading them. Stephenie Meyer's does an excellent job with Bella's POV. I, of course, feel in love with both Edward & Jacob. I believe she ended the Saga very well in Breaking Dawn. I actually read the books twice. I recommend the books to all teenagers and 30 year olds (that are teenagers at heart) The one down fall I have is that we didn't get to read any of the story in Edward's POV. I hated that she ended the Saga and wish that there was more, but she left Breaking Dawn wide open for other books. I would love to read more about Jacob and Nessie. For any parent wondering about allowing your child to read this Saga: Yes, I would allow it. Stephenie does an excellent job keeping the adult situations in a young adult fashion. I have no worries about allowing my child to read and reread these books, nor do I have any worries about her reading anything else she will and has written. This book makes me feel like a teenager again.Vollständige Rezension lesen
I am a professional woman, married with 3 children. I laughed at my co-workers, who are also professionals, because they loved the series, in fact, I made fun of them,,,, they were reading a "teenager's" book. Then my 11 year old daughter wanted to read this series, so I read ahead of her,,, then I fell in love with the books! I had to have my own set in hardcover,,,, This seller offered a great price and I was impressed with the quality that I received! My daughter has read them twice and is on her third time,,,,,, I wanted to read them again and this time they are all in hardcover. I find the books romantic, exciting and full of adventure! Most days I cannot wait to get back to the world of Bella & Edward! You will enjoy these books!
I really liked the Twilight saga because it grasped basic human emotions. The book touched me from inside and out, but the unrequited love between the main character is what touched me the most. The first book established their foundation: where they meet, how they meet and how they fell in love. Just when the readers got involve in their eternal love, the second book abruptly pulled them apart.. It drove me crazy! Not in a bad way I suppose. However, at the end of the second book they got back together and made a bigger mess by doing that. The third and fourth book sort of lost the thrill. In conclusion, I really liked the series! It was very catchy. An escape from reality to an unrequited undying love from two people very much in love.
This is a bit more than a teen romance. Stephanie Meyer sucks you right in and you become as obsessed with reading the series as Edward (the vampire) and Bella (the lonely teenaged girl) are with each other. I couldn't put the books down and it was all I could think about until I'd finished them (4 books in 6 days). The story is absolutely mesmerizing. The author does an amazing job of getting into the heads of her characters by showing, not telling. Many references are made to Jane Austen, who creates a similar chemistry between her characters Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, to which the author alludes in the story. I'm buying this so I can continue to re-read it and study the subtle way Stephanie Meyer brings this story to life.
I wasn't going to read this, but all the sparkly text and hystrionics on the internet piqued my curiosity. It took a couple of goes to get into it, but once the story hooked me, I found it difficult to put the book down -- except for those moments when I had to stop and shriek at my friends, "SPARKLY VAMPIRES!" or "VAMPIRE BASEBALL!" or "WHY IS BELLA SO STUPID?" These moments came increasingly often as I reached the climactic chapters, until I simply reached the point where I had to stop and flail around laughing. The plot revolves around Bella Swan, a Mary Sue whose primary skills seem to be having a martyr complex, attracting trouble, and falling down. She moves to the rainy town of Forks to live with her father after some banal shenanigans make it impossible to live with her mother. Or so she likes to claim, but like I said, one of Bella's superpowers is Being a Martyr. At her new school, Bella is instantly feted as the queen of the social scene -- everyone likes her except (shock!) the impossibly beautiful Edward Cullen. Who is a vampire. (Particularly grating is Bella's OUTRAGE that the normal boys of Forks like her and want to spend time with her, and express this by being friendly and openly indicating that they have a romantic interest in her. I mean, sure, it's awkward being the subject of unwanted romantic attention -- or so I've heard -- but at least they're not playing creepy mind games and breaking into her house to watch her sleeping, because that would be -- oh, hang on...) Edward doesn't actually hate Bella, he simply lusts after her. I mean, wants to suck her blood. I mean, sniff after her creepily. Bella apparently poses a threat to the entire non-evil vampiric subculture, so of course Edward asks her to go steady with him. But not until they've spent many, many, many chapters engaged in tedious 'banter' that is possibly intended to remind the reader of Pride and Prejudice, or at least, remind the reader of some fanfic based on a loose film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Then they hook up, and Edward glitters in the sun a bit. Then some evil vampires turn up, one of whom is obsessed with Bella. Why? Because her blood just smells that good. Apparently there are sequels -- well, there's no "apparently" about it, I can see the sequels from where I'm sitting -- but unless they involve Bella Swan and the entire town of Forks being obliterated in a nuclear devastation, I don't intend to read them. Twilight should be taken as mindless fun, but it has a lot of subtextual ugliness that makes its popularity disquieting. Bella is one of the most useless, insipid heroines I've encountered in a long time -- and I genuinely love Fanny Price, btw -- while Edward is like a textbook example of a creepy stalker boyfriend. There's a strong element of wish fulfillment -- average girl attracts bad boy who's willing to change for her -- but I cannot be comfortable with a text that portrays abuse as love. Apparently, the series is popular for its abstinence subtext -- Edward and Bella can't be together until their relationship has taken the proper form, that is, Bella's a vampire -- but possibly parents should be wondering if it's really a good idea to conflate "marriage" with "death". Or, possibly, I'm overthinking. When a series has become this massive, I don't think it hurts to give some serious brain-time to the question of what, exactly, is being consumed.Vollständige Rezension lesen
I loved this series. I couldn't put the books down. I will say, however, that the author leaves several unanswered questions(possibly to leave openings for future books), the biggest of these to me was the question of what happens to vampires who have been destroyed. The question is asked over and over again, but there really is never an answer. The outcome in Breaking Dawn was something I didn't expect. Although it won me over in the end, I was still somewhat disappointed. I had heard rumors in advance of some events in the book, but had pictured these events leading to a different outcome. Overall, however, I loved the series and recommend it to people of all ages who enjoy a good suspenseful love story. I read all four over an 10 day stretch (in between work and other activities). I do question some of the content for younger kids(younger than 15 or so) because there is quite a lot of reference to sex (especially in the later books), but never in detail. Kids may overlook those parts, but parents should use judgement as to whether their children are mature enough to handle it.Vollständige Rezension lesen
The books are in really good condition. The box set it came in however was a little ripped and had sticky spots on them. I’ll clean it up and try to fix it but I would’ve loved for the box to be in better condition. However, for the price of this set, I can’t really complain. I’m very happy with my purchase
