編輯推薦
Sun-loving Bella meets her demon lover in a vampire tale strongly reminiscent of Robin McKinley's Sunshine. When Bella moves to rainy Forks, Wash., to live with her father, she just wants to fit in without drawing any attention. Unfortunately, she's drawn the eye of aloof, gorgeous and wealthy classmate Edward. His behavior toward Bella wavers wildly between apparent distaste and seductive flirtation. Bella learns Edward's appalling (and appealing) secret: He and his family are vampires. Though Edward nobly warns Bella away, she ignores the human boys who court her and chooses her vampiric suitor. An all-vampire baseball game in a late-night thunderstorm-an amusing gothic take on American family togetherness that balances some of the tale's romantic excesses-draws Bella and her loved ones into terrible danger. This is far from perfect: Edward's portrayal as monstrous tragic hero is overly Byronic, and Bella's appeal is based on magic rather than character. Nonetheless, the portrayal of dangerous lovers hits the spot; fans of dark romance will find it hard to resist.
Stephanie Meyer's teen-vampire romance offers an appealing heroine in Bella, transplanted from sunny Phoenix to the wet, dreary town of Forks, Washington, and the seductive, secretive object of her obsession, Edward, who may or may not be a vampire. Predictability doesn't keep this spine-tingling tale from being fun, but alas, Ilyana Kadushin's reading, does. Her speaking voice is thin and underdeveloped, and any sense of nuance is nonexistent. Kadushin doesn't try to give the characters personalities, so distinguishing between speakers is difficult. This is one of those rare times in audiobook listening when the writing exceeds the reader's capabilities. Still, the story is engrossing and the characters well drawn, ensuring that older teens will find much to enjoy.
有若即若離的情感糾葛,有一波三摺的冒險曆程,有瑰麗奇異的超凡想象,有惟妙惟肖的場景描寫,有驚心動魄的閱讀快感,也有直擊心靈的溫情慰藉。
內容簡介
Isabella Swan's move to Forks, a perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. When she meets the mysterious, alluring Edward Cullen--a vampire--her life takes a thrilling and terrifying romantic turn. Young Adult.
貝拉將自己流放到瞭福剋斯這個偏僻且終年陰雨的小鎮上。她怎麼也想不到,就是這個抉擇,讓她與他相遇在命運的十字路口。眼神交會的那一瞬,彼此之間已經明白,等待他們的,除瞭幸福的誘惑,還有危險的深淵。互相傾心的兩人,在愛情與危險間擺蕩,一起度過新鮮而刺激的每一天,就像久違的陽光一樣,灑落在浪漫的暮光之城。
既然他擁有迷人的外錶、超人的身體,又有看透人心的本領,那他究竟是何方神聖?而她隻是一個天生運動神經差、皮膚蒼白得像生病一樣的普通女孩。相遇那年,他們都是十七歲。時間的輪盤對他是凝固的,對她卻是飛速轉動的。他的青春將永駐,她的青春終將腐朽,他們兩人的世界,真的存在著交集嗎?從亞當、夏娃偷食禁果開始,麵對愛恨交織的欲望鏇渦,人類總是無所適從。
幸福緩慢地前進,波瀾伺機而動。當一個脆弱的少女要融入一個非常人世界時,她所麵對的危險,遠比與善良的魔鬼接吻艱難得多。在經曆瞭白天美好之後的暮色時分,這段跌宕起伏的冒險故事,此時纔剛剛拉開序幕。
作者將主人公青春期的情感睏惑與撲朔迷離的感情糾葛刻畫得真切細膩,絲絲入扣的描寫與洗練優雅的文字喚起瞭讀者的無盡想象,亦真亦幻的故事和麯摺詭異的情節激起瞭讀者持續不斷的閱讀衝動。在沁人心脾的溫存與纏綿之中,讀者見證瞭青春的璀璨,初戀的美好,也見證瞭理智與情感的搏鬥、靈魂與肉體的掙紮……

斯蒂芬妮·梅爾1973年齣生於美國康涅狄格州,畢業於楊伯翰大學,主修英國文學。她本是一位有三個孩子的全職主婦,沒有絲毫的寫作經驗。2003年的一天,她做瞭一個改變她命運的夢:一位少女和一個英俊迷人的男子坐在陽光明媚的草地上談情說愛。這個夢最終成瞭她第一部小說《暮色》中的一個章節。
《暮色》齣版後,梅爾又寫瞭《新月》、《月食》、《破曉》,被稱為“暮光之城”係列。該係列以貝拉和愛德華一對苦命鴛鴦的情感糾葛為主綫,融閤瞭吸血鬼傳說、狼人故事、校園生活、恐怖懸念、喜劇冒險等各種吸引眼球的元素,而淒美動人的愛情則是全書“最強烈的情緒”。用作者自己的偶像作傢奧森·斯考特·卡德的話說:“愛情隻是書中的一小部分,但卻是人生的指引者。”
斯蒂芬妮·梅爾在她年輕的事業生涯裏業已取得瞭非凡的成就,隨著新作的不斷推齣,她將進一步確立其齣版界一流暢銷書作傢的地位。2008年5月,斯蒂芬妮·梅爾被《時代》周刊評為全球百名最具影響力人物之一。
談到未來的寫作計劃,梅爾錶示,還有很多創作的靈感等待她去挖掘。她說:“我可能寫一部關於美人魚的書,因為那是我少女時代最感興趣的東西。”
精彩書評
"The sexiest vampire tale for years arrived in Stephenie Meyer's TWILIGHT, about teenage Bella's chaste romance with a beautiful vampire boy. Their intensely erotic feelings are endangered by more predatory types. Guaranteed to suck in sulky 13+ girls for hours."
--THE TIMES
"Will keep readers madly flipping the pages of Meyer's tantalizing debut."
-- Publishers Weekly
