The Complete Hardcover Twilight Saga
This set includes all the books from the Twilight Saga, which includes; Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and lastly Breaking Dawn. The books themselves are exactly likes the ones you find at any bookstore, in hardcover. The case it comes in has all the book covers displayed on each side minus the names of each book.
What is included that you couldn't normally get by buying each one individually elsewhere are 4 5x7-ish cards that have the cover picture on one side, then quotes from the corresponding book written on the other. for example: one 5x7 has a picture of the twilight cover, hands holding a red apple, then the other side it says, "About three things i was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him--and i didn't know how dominant that part of him might be--that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him." (I included some pictures so you can get a better idea of what they are)
I would recommend this set to those who do not already own the twilight collection(like me) and would like to own all the books(i borrowed them all from a friend). Or of course obsessed twilight fans. There's nothing truly remarkable about the set so i wouldn't go buying this if you already own all the books.
I am very happy with my purchase nonetheless. This saga is one of my favorites.
Gorgeous keepsake collection of all four books in the Twilight series!
This is a value buy for those who are contemplating sinking their teeth [pun intended] into Stephenie Meyers' Twilight series as it not only offers all four books, i.e. Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn for a great price, they all come housed in a gorgeous keepsake box. I have all four of the books in hardcover, but I purchased them individually as they were released, and am seriously contemplating getting this boxed set which I can keep as a souvenir, and then use the other books as my reading copies.
Well, for those who are new to the series, the books are in the following order:
Twilight - Bella Swan moves to a small town near Seattle called Forks and meets Edward Cullen, an enigmatic student at her high school who turns out to be a vampire and lives with his clan in a magnificent mansion. As the romance between Bella and Edward blossom, they have to face obstacles such as the physical 'constraints' of being in a mortal-vampire relationship, facing objections from their respective families, and threats from other more vicious vampires.
New Moon - Edward and Bella are parted and Bella is so heartbroken that her life becomes empty and without direction. Enter Jacob Black, the tall, dark and handsome friend from the reservation, La Push who provides Bella with not only friendship but someone she can trust and rely on during a desperate time. Of course, nothing in Bella Swan's life is ever quite so simple and complications crop up once again.
Eclipse - Edward and Bella are back together, much to the disappointment and disgust of Jacob Black, himself now an other-worldly being. Will he convince Bella that he is more worthy of her love or will Edward prevail?
Breaking Dawn - the final instalment in the series. Edward, Bella and Jacob feature prominently here, with the most pivotal question - will Bella sacrifice her mortality for an immortal life with Edward? If so, what are the repercussions?
All in all, the Twilight series makes for an interesting and fun reading experience and this beautiful boxed set for the price offered here on Amazon is definitely a keepsake for fans and new readers alike!
Story is excellent.....the audiobook speaker leaves much to be desired
I read all the books in a weekend and again the following week.....I am an avid reader and audiobook listener and when I can no longer ignore my work to read I usually get the audio either from the library or buy them and put them to my ipod. I was much anticipating the cd's to have yet another title to listen to and when I loaded the cd's over the course of a day (all books) started listening....I was greatly dissappointed. The speaker herself read as if she had the book right in front of her and never read it before. She hardly (not at all) captured the essence of the main character let alone the other more prominent characters. Her announciations of "Bella" and her disregard of tonal inflections due to punctuation was bearly tolerable. Mind you...I have listened to more than 50 audiobooks and I must admit that listening to this speaker after so many other better read books probably made this audiobook doomed. Her voice is too throaty and nasaly, she sounded like the words were tripping over her toungue about 50% of the time.
I am going to try and return the set...otherwise I am donating it to the local library. I am sure there is someone who would like to listen to it and not care about the way it sounds.
My recommendations to potential buyers are these....if you HAVE to have it on audio....go to the library...the cd's are too expensive for such a poorly spoken book. If your library doesn't have it....then go in on it with a group of interested readers. Otherwise...just read the book more often.
