Twilight Saga Collection Box Set (The Twilight Saga)

The Twilight series comprises of four novels –Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn and I still remember how I devoured the series in a week! Twilight is primarily the love story of a 17-year old mortal, Bella Swan and a 108 year old vampire, Edward Cullen. The series delves with this highly unlikely attraction between the two and how they overcome multiple obstacles to be together. These ‘obstacles’ range from Edward’s initial blood thirst for Bella and mutant childbirth to Werewolf enmity and Volturi wars. The backstories of the Cullen family – Carlisle, Esme, Edward, Rosalie, Emmett, Alice and Jasper are detailed and they help the readers get in touch with the human, emotional side of these apparent blood-drinking monsters. The werewolf gang present comic relief and Jacob Black provides complication in the form a love triangle. There are times when Jacob’s character infuriates you as he keeps trying to get between Bella and Edward. But with Renesmee’s birth, everything falls into place. Fun, entertaining and emotional with great twists of drama, Twilight was thoroughly enjoyable.

This is a quite good experience. I not only get my order in time but also gets in a awesome condition.

Nice book

Delivery was ahead of time but the set of four books seems to be old not a fresh stock. So bit disappointed.

Mix together random ingredients of Anne Rice and Anita Blake, add a dollop of purple prose, and finish with a vacuous, passive heroine who serves as the readers' stand-in.This is the winning formula for Stephenie Meyers' bestselling "Twilight Collection," four books chronicling the overwrought romance of a century-old vampire and a completely ordinary teen girl. It's the stuff of a thousand teenage girls' fan-fiction fantasies, and Meyer's purple prose and highly melodramatic storylines add to the feeling that that's just what she's writing."Twilight" introduces us to Bella Swan. She hates everything about her new hometown of Forks, until she bumps into the gorgeous Edward Cullen. Edward is not only hot and rich, but he has the whole bad-boy factor -- and eventually Bella figures out that he's a bona fide vampire with sparkly skin and marble flesh. Oh, and he's a "vegetarian" who abstains from human blood, and belongs to a close-knit vampire "family." How cute and cozy.But their budding relationship is thrown into turmoil when an evil vampire decides to hunt Bella, and draws her into a dangerous trap. Then things get even worse in "New Moon" when Edward and his family depart Forks, and Bella starts doing dangerous sports that allow her to hear Edward's voice, when she isn't hanging out with hunky werewolf Jacob. But a mistaken vision leads Edward to believe Bella is dead -- and soon HE might be if Bella doesn't stop him.Of course, in "Eclipse" the werewolf and vampire vie for Bella's attentions, even as an old enemy attacks the vampires of Forks with an army of vampire newborns. But even the long-awaited marriage of Edward and Bella in "Breaking Dawn" doesn't make things peaceful at last -- on their Brazilian honeymoon, they conceive a superpowerful, blood-drinking vampire baby. And of course, this brings the wrath of another angry vampire group down on them.The storyline is simple, but what starts as a teen romance is stretched out over two more books of tedium and a truly surreal concluding volume. Stephanie Meyer tries to keep it suspenseful by slapping in a series of brief vampire conflicts (no action onscreen), as well as an utterly pointless love triangle. But this can't disguise the fact that the entire story revolves around tiresome angst -- everyone mopes, whines, moans, and occasionally gets suicidal.The writing doesn't help either -- all four books are smothered in a thick layer of ornate, swooning purple prose. It's tolerable when Edward isn't on the scene, but things fall apart whenever he's onstage. Every other sentence seems to be a paeon to to how gorgeous the "incandescent" and "scintillating" Edward is. It gets a bit nauseating.And Meyers adds some distractingly bizarre stuff -- sparkling vampires who inexplicably go to high school, werewolves falling in love with babies, and a gruesome birth scene involving vampire teeth. No, the last one is not a joke. She also has a bizarre aversion to any kind of action, conveniently placing all vampire/werewolf fighting offscreen or during a convenient fainting fit.And alas, no strong heroines here -- Bella is a wimpy, clingy, snobby, klutzy girl who is nevertheless attractive to all males. Her main goal in life is to cling limpetlike to Edward for all eternity, because apparently she does whatever the Big Strong Men say. Edward is much the same -- he exists to be obsessively in love with Bella (to the point of stalking her in her home) and being "incandescently" sexy. That's it. Most of the others are pigeonholes as "the quiet good-natured cop," "the magic baby" or "the nasty blondes," although there are a few amusing characters like the fey, twee vampire Alice."The Twilight Saga" takes the basic conventions of the popular urban fantasy genre and soaks them in lethal levels of teenage angst. This quartet has no life -- it's clearly undead.

Some call it toxic, others call it illogical and stupid… but there’s one thing we must all admit, the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer was everyone’s middle school obsession. It would be great to pay a revisit to the ‘biting’ (pun totally intended!) cold winters of Forks, the town of perpetual gloom and rain, experience the epic battle scene between the Cullen allies and the Volturi (which was the highlight for the Breaking Dawn Part 2 movie but was sadly not included in the books) which I could keep watching over and over again, and my favorite scene from Eclipse - with Bella’s sacrificial slicing her arm open to distract Victoria and Riley to save Edward.Nonetheless, I have decided to accept the series with its flaws, and I feel we must appreciate the fact that this series somehow had the charm or magical ability to influence the minds of an entire generation of young readers (which now people refer to as their “Twilight phase” of reading) and continues to do so even today.I wouldn’t mind throwback-reading a few books or watching some of the movies again because it takes me back to when I was in middle school and reminds me of my first ever book club experiences.

Interesting Fine bookwith immediate delivery at nominal rate. Safe delivery also.Good packageExcellent collection at good rate. Expecting some more discounts

Ordered the box set in “Used - Good” condition, and it’s basically brand new! Even has the postcard things in the bottom. The box that the books come in had a rip in it but that’s no bother. Very pleased, will order from this seller again.

Excelente estado y rápido envío. Me encantó ♥️

Perfect condition, excellent value for money, collectors edition. And it arrived early

One of the worst quality’s I’ve seen for box sets in this price range. … you should get better quality books for the price your paying.Aand the box set doesn’t come with cards?. And for the actual box, it’s paper thin and fragile. Mine came damaged also “twilight” came with a big black dot on the front spine pages?

I bought this saga with a lot of apprehension but it arrived in (almost) perfect condition.The books are brand new without any scratches, and the four prints were inside Breaking Dawn.The only negative point is the condition of the box which arrived completely torn underneath but which holds with a little adhesive tape so it doesn't bother me. I put the condition of the box under the fault of the delivery.It's just cardboard so it was almost sure that the box was going to be damaged during delivery.
