How can anyone make a movie about vampires and werewolves and make it so boring???????

Absolutely fabulous. Completely hooked on The Twilight Saga and can now watch the movie whenever I want to. Great buy.

I haven't actually viewed the movie as of yet, but I received it timely & I've never had a problem with any dvd's I've ever ordered, so I'm confident that the dvds will be very good.

Being a lover of all things vampire, I really WANT to like The Twilight Saga. Before seeing "New Moon," I saw it as a chance for redemption, since the first film in this series was tolerable, yet slow and a bit shallow. But after seeing this film, I'm convinced that I should give up and move onto something new. This entire film could've been replaced by 130 minutes of Taylor Lautner running around with his shirt off, and I would've felt like I actually got my money's worth. At least the plot would be more interesting that way.

The DVD was scratched, the case was a little damaged and the leaflet was not in the case. This seller should be honest what she/he/they are putting out and not lie how new it is.

This book was hard to put down when I started it.Like the other books in this series,it takes you into a world of fantasy that you would rather stay in than come down to reality.I did find it odd that she had Bella get pregnant.Bella had enough talents to bring out after she became a vampire that would have kept the story going.I really am sorry this was the last book,I will really miss reading more stories about Bella and Edward.

The last book was so entertaining! I was over Bella and Edward's love story (yes, we all know they can't live without each other! ie.Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre). I laughed through the pages at Jacob's thoughts and his bickering with Rosalie and swelled up at Seth's innocence. For all those who wants a love story read the first three, the last is for those who wants to move on with the story.

My grandaughter loved this book. She read it in two days and has started it again. The book was in excellent condition and I will buy from this seller again.

I started reading the Twilight Series when my twelve-year-old daughter expressed an interest in reading the books. I did have a hard time with the idealistic-unrealistic romantic aspect of the book - but guess what - just like Barney and the Teletubbies, that just means I'm an adult. The book wasn't written for me. It is a work of fiction for young adults, period. I will say that I still felt the need, as her mother, to give my daughter a lecture on how love doesn't mean totally enmeshing your life with another person and letting them sneak into your room at night, etc. She looked at me like I had two heads, and said - "uh, Mom - it's a book." Once we got that settled, I was mainly skimming to be sure the sexual content was age-appropriate for her and I thought the author did a very good job. As an adult reader, the author made me wince and laugh and yes, roll my eyes. I was actually embarrassed for both the writer and myself at various points of the book. However, by the end of the first book she had brought about that dizzy, foggy, sick-to-your-stomach feeling of intense attraction/first love/overwhelming desire. Can a writer hope for more? Also, the screenwriter did a first for me - made me like a movie better than the book. I really hope that Breaking Dawn has an edited version and an unedited version. Don't make me watch Bella and Edward's honeymoon climax with a fade-out to the ocean.

I am a huge Twilight Fan but also the book came in great condition. It also came with lyrics from Blue October as well as a DVD for the Breaking Dawn Concert Series. I have not watched it yet but I'm sure its just exceptional.

I bought these for a road trip back home to Denver from North Dakota. Very long drive and music will make you tired after a bit and even XM radio gets old. I thought about books on tape and I knew that I could use em for a bit and then give em to my mom who is a driver for Crete trucking company. They came before I expected... the mail is slow out here and I ordered a little late before my trip so I thought they were not going to get here by time I was leaving but they showed up the day before and I got to track the shipping too so I always knew where they were. They were packaged well and came on time and were great!

As described, fast delivery. Still in the shrink wrap, in perfect condition. Nothing beats hardback.

I did things backwards and had seen the first tow movies first then got the collection and wow what a difference. I love the books so much more, I do love the movies as well but there is quite a difference.

These came before the estimated delivery, carefully packaged, and in perfect condition, just as pictured. My first time reading them & I love them!!

I love the twilight books and was really excited when I got my kindle thinking I would be able to download the books onto it and be able to take them with me where ever I was going and not have to worry about damaging my books. I was and still am very disappointed that we, people in Canada, are still not able to purchase these books for our kindle. I think this situation needs to be adjusted immediately. I love twilight and want it on my kindle!!! :(

Let me preface this review by saying I was convinced I'd hate this book. Why? I believed that it could not live up to the hype, and I misjudged it by believing it would be a blood-sucking, trashy novel chock full of teen hook-ups and backstabbing. Plus, I am 30. Could I really relate to this? Well, I was proven wrong on all fronts, delightedly. I had the entire series read in less than two weeks, staying up into the wee hours of the morning reading and reading on my lunch break at work. What I came to like about this series is the originality of Meyers's vampire world, a realistic heroine, and a basic plot line that most people can relate to, mainly first love. I couldn't rate it 5 stars because Meyers's style lacks some of the sophistication I look for in a 5 star novel, and there was one aspect of the Bella-Edward relationship that I found particularly unnerving. First, Meyers's vampire world is quite original. Without getting into details, the Cullen family is a vampire family that struggles to maintain a normal and moral lifestyle despite their nature. They have a deep respect for humans and strive to retain their own humanity. This brings up the interesting idea that one can rise above whatever his origin may be, good or bad. She also handles the nuances of vampire folklore in interesting ways. I enjoyed Bella Swan as the protagonist. She is not a picture-perfect, popular beauty queen heroine; she is shy, reserved, likable, intelligent, but not without her own insecurities and a light dose of teen sarcasm, angst, and rebellion. I can see how she would appeal to the average female reader of her age. Looking at the YA series out there targeting young women, most have to do with wealthy, popular, and perfect looking female heroines. It is refreshing to encounter a heroine like Bella. I would venture to say that the reason this series appeals to an audience of all ages is due mostly to its focus on first love and the pursuit of true love. Readers who enjoy romance in the sweet, innocent, tender, Romeo and Juliet style will be enthralled by Twilight. In this novel, chivalry is not dead, and Bella and Edward are intimate in a way that does not equate to sex, which is a quality few and far between in today's entertainment. So the drawbacks. Meyers's style is pretty straightforward, and I usually enjoy a bit more sophistication. I probably shouldn't fault her on this as it is a series targeted to a younger audience, and the YA genre tends to push the action and skimp on the description, imagery, metaphors, etc. She does handle the inevitable blood issue tastefully. No gore here. Many people argue that Bella and Edward's relationship is sweet and pure, while others have said it is dysfunctional. Admittedly, I can see the arguments for both sides. Edward compares Bella to his "own personal brand of heroin," so do we have an unhealthy, co-dependency issue? Is Edward protective? Or is he a stalker? Is he chivalrous or possessive? Does Bella think he is "too perfect" to the point where she is discrediting her own self worth? Or is this simply how crushes operate? One aspect of the relationship that I cannot condone is how Meyers has Bella acknowledge that Edward has been a killer in his early vampire life, but quickly and easily dismisses this fact as one she doesn't care about. Hmmmmm, not sure if this is such a great message to be sending. Overall, this series is a pleasure. Original, romantic (depending on how you view their relationship), and fast-paced. I am hoping that Meyers writes a 5th book for the series as the last one leaves so much potential for further development.

I am not a fan of vampires and werewolves, but I love this story! Words are written in a way that you feel as if you're part of the story. Great characters, Fantastic visual!!!

Etremely fast shipping and a great book series to read. Would recommend the book to anybody!

First, Edward was a vampire. Well, to be nitpicky, he IS a vampire. But let us continue. He sparkles. Fine, no problem. Some vampires are butterflies and some have heads that fly around. So I can deal. He can read minds. OK, he is supernatural. He likes to play baseball. Fine, a tad weird, but fine. He wants BLOOD. Well, duh, he is a VAMPIRE. Runs around during daylight. OK, so? The whole sunlight burns vampires thing is pretty new. So the vampire part of the book is, to me, not an issue. Oh, yes, the werewolves. Well, at least they don't seem to be having a war going on. World of Darkness, Underworld, every role playing game on the net has THAT! Kind of refreshing to have a werewolf and a vampire in the same space and not have a gunfight/cat fight/sword fight. Male hormones are so overrated. Romance. Oh yes. Romance - the feeling that you are all alone and nobody understands you. But wait - that guy/girl/monster/computer understands you! Oh joy! Oh no, he/she/it may hate you. Oh, happiness, now he/she/it loves you again! All is well in the world. Oh my, a plain girl who is special because she is thoughtless. Oh, wait, I mean the vampires can't read her thoughts. And he feels the need to protect her. Carry her. Hand feed her. Well, maybe not that last. Yet. Still, the book is a good first try. Smashing really, when you remember she is a bestseller right now. But still, it seems too easy to figure out where the story is going to go. The girl is sometimes so stupid and seems to lack a independent thought in her thoughtless head. How fast do they fall in love - a month? But wait, I forgot. It is a TEEN ROMANCE NOVEL. So maybe I should just give it some slack? Also, as I was given it as a gift, I can't really complain.

This is not a vampire book. It is a teenage romance novel where the object of Bella's obsession just happens to be an unconventional vampire. (Snark Alert! If Bella had more life experience, she would know Edward's behavior is much more frightening than his vampirism.) Meyers does a really excellent job of capturing the thrill of smoldering glances, flirting, first kisses, first love. Will this story stand the test of time? I have no idea, but I think it probably will. Edward can't hold a candle to Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights) for creepiness, and women have been crazy about him for centuries.
