I just devoured Twilight and it was delicious! I can't wait for books 2 & 3 to arrive... Stephenie has a tantalizing style of writing that is pure enjoyment to read and left me with chills all over. Her hero, Edward Cullen, is a perfect anomaly with his quiet elegance, uncertainty, sense of humor, and strong emotions. Bella, I think is slightly annoying with her unreasonable petulance, but not enough to turn me off completely. The setting couldn't be better and is close to my heart. Set in Forks, WA on the Olympic Peninsula only a few miles from where my Grandpa grew up and where I spent many Thanksgiving's in my early years and part of one summer, the rainy mistiness of the Olympic forest and grey beaches perfectly suit the feeling of the book.
Stephenie's website indicates that they are in the process of making Twilight into a movie- the pictures of suggested actors are on her page and fun to look at. The fourth book is expecting release in Fall 2008...YAY! And she is re-writing Twilight from Edward's point of view (1st chapter of which you can read here), which may be better that Twilight itself.
Knowing that she's also LDS makes it all that much more fun to read her books. Highly recommended as a delightful and quick read!

Most of my daughters and daughters-in-law share your sentiment. I've read and thoroughly enjoyed 1 and 2, but haven't yet done 3. Maybe in a few weeks...
I have purchased the first three books and can't wait to read them. However, I am in a book club at work and am waiting for my chance to have my book of choice be selected so that I can get the others to read it with me.
