This set of books is great for teens and adults alike. I watched the show with my kids and decided to get the books. One of daughters started book one, when she was finished and moved on to book 2 I began book one. I have 3 girls, by the time I got to book 2 I decided we needed an additional set of books. I got this hard back set for my self and gave my kids the mixed set I first had. They are very used now, we have all read the set of books multiple times. Some books like this make for a great family gathering time, to discus the books and get open hones conversation going. We have a great time comparring notes and sections of the books. My youngest daughter is 11 and there are some parts that she just doesn't understand, that is ok. She is reading and joining the family in a great joy. There are a few times where it may get a little provocative but Edward always reminds Bella that there virtue is most important. This is a great thing for girls to learn. Edward always pushes Bella to do her best and keep in mind her age and what is important not to do at her age, like sex. I think any family could read these together and gain a lot in the way of family interaction and understanding. This book could help families open up and help girls understand situations before they go wrong. Great Books!!!Read full review
This book series will get your imagination going. Most of us have seen the movies which makes placing these character's faces that much easier. The situations not shown on in the movies are filled in and the gaps in the plots are returned to their full meaning in the books. Very well written, and for those Jacob fans... He is not that innocent... My roomate hates Bella because she uses Jacob and is extremely selfish in her ways hurting him and vice versa... ( movie ). In the books, one can see he puts himself in these situations and pretty much launches himself on her, He has regard for her feelings, but unlike edward... His feelings come first not Bella's. A different take on vampires and warewolves. Enjoyable books.
They do look great but as u can see it says brand new, these r not brand new. If they were used, it should have sd like brand new, not brand new...... I got a note that sd i hope u enjoy them as much as i did, so evidently they r not new......but i hope my daughter does enjoy them for her birthday.

I am a 30 year old mother to a 12 year old daughter. I started reading the books because my daughter was and I like to make sure she isn't reading anything she isn't supposed too. Plus she asked me to read the books. I fell in love with the books-all four of them. I am one of those people that have to have a book in her hands and I reread a lot of my books (do to the fact that I can't find anymore that I like). I bought all four of the books for my daughter and in two weeks I was finished reading them. Stephenie Meyer's does an excellent job with Bella's POV. I, of course, feel in love with both Edward & Jacob. I believe she ended the Saga very well in Breaking Dawn. I actually read the books twice. I recommend the books to all teenagers and 30 year olds (that are teenagers at heart) The one down fall I have is that we didn't get to read any of the story in Edward's POV. I hated that she ended the Saga and wish that there was more, but she left Breaking Dawn wide open for other books. I would love to read more about Jacob and Nessie. For any parent wondering about allowing your child to read this Saga: Yes, I would allow it. Stephenie does an excellent job keeping the adult situations in a young adult fashion. I have no worries about allowing my child to read and reread these books, nor do I have any worries about her reading anything else she will and has written. This book makes me feel like a teenager again.Read full review
I am a professional woman, married with 3 children. I laughed at my co-workers, who are also professionals, because they loved the series, in fact, I made fun of them,,,, they were reading a "teenager's" book. Then my 11 year old daughter wanted to read this series, so I read ahead of her,,, then I fell in love with the books! I had to have my own set in hardcover,,,, This seller offered a great price and I was impressed with the quality that I received! My daughter has read them twice and is on her third time,,,,,, I wanted to read them again and this time they are all in hardcover. I find the books romantic, exciting and full of adventure! Most days I cannot wait to get back to the world of Bella & Edward! You will enjoy these books!
