Twilight Download Free eBook pdf

Twilight is a young-adult vampire-romance novel by author Stephenie Meyer. It
is the first book of the Twilight series, and introduces seventeen-year-old Isabella
"Bella" Swan, who moves from Phoenix, Arizona to Forks, Washington and finds
her life in danger when she falls in love with a vampire, Edward Cullen. The novel
is followed by New Moon , Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn .
It became an instant bestseller when published originally in hardback in 2005,
debuting at No. 5 on the New York Times Best Seller list within a month of its
release and later peaking at No. 1. That same year, Twilight was named one
of Publishers Weekly' s Best Children's Books of 2005. The novel was also the
biggest selling book of 2008 and the second biggest selling of 2009, only behind
its sequel New Moon . It has been translated into 37 different languages.
When first published, Twilight gained much critical acclaim. Critics often
described it as a "dark romance that seeps into the soul" and praised it for
capturing "perfectly the teenage feeling of sexual tension and alienation". On the
other hand, in more recent reviews, some critics thought that Bella's appeal to
Edward was "based on magic rather than character" and that Bella is a weak
female character. However, almost all critics, whether they acclaimed the novel or
not, agreed that it was a literary phenomenon.
A film adaptation of Twilight was released in 2008. It was a commercial success,
grossing more than $392 million worldwide and an additional $157 million from
North American DVD sales, as of July 2009.
