Walau buku ini telah lama terbit (2005), tapi gw baru tergerak untuk membelinya (dalam versi bahasa Inggris) pertengahan bulan ini. Antusisme dari beberapa teman nmilis yang memuji-muji novel ini membuat gw makin penasaran dengan detail ceritanya, walaupun ada beberapa yang merasa muak dan menanggap plot cerita amat bertele-tele.
Seri 1 buku ini, yaitu Twilight berhasil gw "lalap" hanya dalam waktu 3 hari, itupun tidak full seharian karena gw membaca buku dengan leluasa saat berangkat dan pulang kantor (sekitar 3-4 jam perjalanan bolak-balik). Jadi bisa dihitung barapa lama buku ini bisa dihabiskan jika punya waktu seharian, mungkin hanya setangah haripun bisa tuntas.

Kesan pertama dari buku ini,..gak jelek-jelek amat walopun gw mulai merasa boring di beberapa bagian dan bikin ngantuk. Aapalagi ada beberapa bagian sangat berasa "chessy" dan roman picisan banget..hehehe
terlanjur langsung beli 3 buku, ortomatis gw harus "melanjutkan perjuangan untuk membaca buku ini

It was a teenage story about a young girl named Bella met a young man; Edward who happened to be a vampire, they fallen in love and faced many obstacles in their relationships.

In my humble opinion, the story is quite good although some part of the book is long-winded that made me a little bored and sleepy ;p

I can't wait to see the movie in next November...just curious

So,..my next book to read is New moon,..second book of Twilight Saga

Berikut ini sinopsis-nya (yang gw ambil dari goodreads.com)
"Softly he brushed my cheek, then held my face between his marble hands. 'Be very still,' he whispered, as if I wasn't already frozen. Slowly, never moving his eyes from mine, he leaned toward me. Then abruptly, but very gently, he rested his cold cheek against the hollow at the base of my throat."

As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because--he's a vampire. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonizes over the danger. But Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship.

Meyer has achieved quite a feat by making this scenario completely human and believable. She begins with a familiar YA premise (the new kid in school), and lulls us into thinking this will be just another realistic young adult novel. Bella has come to the small town of Forks on the gloomy Olympic Peninsula to be with her father. At school, she wonders about a group of five remarkably beautiful teens, who sit together in the cafeteria but never eat. As she grows to know, and then love, Edward, she learns their secret. They are all rescued vampires, part of a family headed by saintly Carlisle, who has inspired them to renounce human prey. For Edward's sake they welcome Bella, but when a roving group of tracker vampires fixates on her, the family is drawn into a desperate pursuit to protect the fragile human in their midst. The precision and delicacy of Meyer's writing lifts this wonderful novel beyond the limitations of the horror genre to a place among the best of YA fiction.
