Kinda messed up

Books a little wonky, back has a white patch and the bottom of the spine is kind torn up. But the pages themselves still look nice so its ok I guess.

A lovely recapture of a most beloved novel

First off, I have to point out the wonderful artwork. It reminds me a bit of the Shoujo manga I read back in my high school days. Secondly, I appreciate how it attempts to be as accurate as possible to the source material. Even if it did seem rushed at certain points. Kind of making certain scenes underwhelming. Which were about my only negatives. I would honestly recommend it to anyone who is a Twilight fan and maybe anyone who likes the less dark but still romantic aesthetic around Vampires. The manga itself came in a bound black hardcover which looked perfect. My only grievance being the lack of the lovely sleeve cover.

Exactly as described. Great condition.

Beautiful copy was received, looked almost brand new.

Great

Loved the book!!! Excellent condition. Looks brand new!!

Twilight Graphic Novel

Stunning artwork, amazing for any Twilight fan! Such an amazing price too!

Honestly……what did you expect me to rate it?

I am a HUGE fan of twilight. I buy most of my copies from this site. This graphic novel shows me twilight from a different perspective and I kinda loved it. The artwork is amazing and I wish they would have continued with the whole series :(

Great buy!

I originally thought the books was in full color, it’s not but it’s not like all pencil. It’s has some color just not fully!! But great book. Matches the books perfectly

Absolutely loved it! The book came in great condition 😊

The illustrations were awesome! I loved seeing how the author imagined the characters.

Honestly this was waaaaay better than the movie!

I never review and I would never review on anything Twilight. But I guess there is a first for everything! I received this book in the mail today and was immediately impressed. Opening it up, I honestly didn't really know what I was expecting. I saw the movie before I read the books. First thoughts was the movie was ok, but after I read the book, I hated the movie. After finishing the graphic novel (took about an hour) I have to say, it makes me wish they would re-do and re-cast the first movie. This is way more than even I could have imagined. Stephanie Meyer was right when she wrote that this breathed new life into the Bella and Edward story. The drawings are exactly how I would have pictured the characters for the movie should look like. The vampires are truly beautiful and Bella has that understated beauty, so well drawn out in this novel. Their love story is not rushed (like in the movie...I never understood why Bella and Edward fell in love) and is well played out. What surprised me even more was the nice little splashes of color through-out the book. This is what sets this apart from being a boring black and white manga/comic, the splashes of colors (there is a nice colored twilight scene) and the emotions certain scenes carried. Definitely a must read, this is the way the movie SHOULD have been like!

According to my 11-year-old 'It is SOOOO much better than the movie"

I have read all four of the novels and watched the movies, however, I'm nowhere near the voracious consumer of all things Twilight-related that my daughter is. She's 11, and this graphic novel was a surprise gift to her on Monday. She was positively miserable on Tuesday because she'd finished it already, and is rabid for more volumes to come out. According to her - the pictures of the characters are much better looking than the actors and actresses, she says Bella is much prettier and less annoying than in the movie, and that Emmett looks completely different. We have all of the Buffy Season 8 graphic novels, and according to her, this is just as good. It's already been passed on to the next 11-year-old in line, and will be working its way through fifth grade throughout the week.

Amazing

This was a wonderful graphic novel adapted from Stephenie Myer's book Twilight. If you are a graphic novel fan, you must get this book. I think that graphic novels are great for those who don't like to read long passages and the illustrations help you to visualize the characters and the scenes. The artwork in this book is exceptional and really brought to life the story of Edward and Bella in an much shorter, and interesting genre. I've passed this book on to my daughter, who is the REAL twilight fan and she read it in a few hours and just loved it. ~Reviewed by [...]

Gorgeous First Graphic Novel For Twilight!

It took one hour to read this magnificent graphic novel, but oh, what a fantastic 60 minutes it was! SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!! Let me just say that the artist, Young Kim, is one talented lady, and she has breathed new life into a classic vampire series. She captures the quiet beauty of Bella Swan, making her look lovely, but in an unadorned way that we have always pictured, but have never seen. She combines her own artistry with live shots, and the results are stunning. You feel as if you are truly stepping into the wet and slippery world of Forks, Washington, immersing yourself in a world where humans, werewolves and vampires co-exist unwittingly. What made this graphic novel such a easy page-turner is not just the knock-out drawings, but the layout as well, which is key to the enjoyment of any graphic novel. Kim has been able to give a face to all our favorite characters, and where she resoundingly succeeds is in her depiction of Edward. No slight to the handsome Robert Pattinson, but this is the way I had imagined Edward Cullen to look like - gorgeous and other-worldly in his male beauty. For those of us who know the story like the back of our hand, this first volume concludes with Bella and Edward leaving the forest, with the initial secrets of vampires revealed in their pretty swath of forest. We all know how it starts, where it's going, and how it ends, but my goodness, I cannot wait for the next installment. Let's hope Stephenie Meyer will give her blessing for the three other books, because as of right now, only Twilight is getting the graphic novel treatment. I highly recommend this book to all fans of Twilight, vampire lovers, and reluctant readers who need a more aesthetically pleasing introduction to the world of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. For grades 5th and up. Enjoy!
