The second volume of Twilight: The Graphic Novelcompletes the visual adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's worldwide bestselling debut novel and is a must-have for any collector's library.
You know the story: Bella Swan discovers that Edward Cullen, the classmate she loves, is vampire, but continues to trust him despite constantly escalating dangers. Stephenie Meyer's Twilight enthralled as a novel series and a film trilogy; now it has become a vivid graphic novel series that brings its romantic tension alive in new ways. This is the second volume; the first was well received. Breathing new life into what has become a timeless story.
Stephenie Meyer graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in English literature, and she lives with her husband and three young sons in Arizona. After the publication of her debut novel, Twilight, booksellers chose her as one of the "most promising new authors of 2005" (Publishers Weekly). Her website is www.stepheniemeyer.com.
Young Kim graduated from Seoul National University with a degree in painting from the College of Fine Arts. She has worked on numerous animation and cover illustration projects and currently makes her home in Yongin, Korea. Her adaptation of the first volume of Twilight: The Graphic Novel was a #1 bestseller on the New York Times hardcover graphic books list.
Twilight debuted in October, 2005. An immediate sensation, it appeared on several year-end best books lists and earned its author a rabid cult following among teenage girls. Since then, Meyer has continued Bella and Edward's story in bestselling sequels that have proved equally successful. Young readers cannot get enough of these riveting novels -- a captivating blend of vampires, romance, and suspense -- and parents rest easy knowing the books do not contain the graphic language and sexually provocative material that pervades some YA series.
Whether or not the Twilight Saga proves to have "Harry Potter legs" remains to be seen. Meanwhile, Meyer continues writing. She forayed into adult fiction with 2008's The Host, a chilling science fiction tale about the end of humanity, told from the perspective of an alien invader. And she makes it clear the door is open for further installments in her vampire romance. Clearly, this talented author has many more stories to tell.
" I met my husband, Pancho (his real name is Christiaan, but no one calls him that—it's not a long story, but it is a stupid one, so I'll skip it), when I was four, but we were never anywhere close to being childhood sweethearts. In fact, though we saw each other at least weekly through church activities, I can't recall a single instance when we so much as greeted each other with a friendly wave, let alone exchanged actual words.
This may have been for the best, because when we did eventually get around to exchanging words, sixteen years after our first meeting, it only took nine months from the first "hello" to the wedding."
" I am also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and that has a huge influence on who I am and my perspective on the world, and therefore what I write (though I have been asked more than once, 'What's a nice Mormon girl like you doing writing about vampires?')."
"I can't write without music, and my biggest muse is the [British rock] band Muse."
A transcript of the dream that inspired Twilight appears in the book as Chapter 13, "Confessions."
i'm thinking about buying the graphic novel but i don't want to buy something i'm not going to like.Please give me a thumbs up if you think i should buy it or a thumbs down if you don't.thanks

Hey,
As we all know Twilight is the best book ever, and the greatest love story of our generation. Personally the actual book are my favoret. But these grafic novels realy complete the saga. The moviesnare good too, but no were neer as good as the books or the grafic novels. Without the grafis novels there is somthing to be left desired. They are the cross between the books, and the movies. Words and pictures. Though i favor the books, the grafis novels are somthing else. I recomend that you read them. And, love them as much as I do. We all hope there will be grafics for the rest of the saga. Because when it comes right dowm to it...
You can NEVER, EVER have enough twilight.

I Also Recommend:
Once again Stephenie Meyer has produced a product that fans will eat up... Including this fan... If the original series wasn't enough, now art and comic lovers can join in on the all-time greatest vampire love story of our generation. Although this is only the second installment, hurry and read it so you'll be ready for when the next issue comes out. Can't wait to see the crowd at the midnight showing for Breaking Dawn. I'll be at the AMC 24 in Hampton, VA.

The beautiful pictures bring twilight to life, it follows the book beautifully and keeps you reading till the very end. I wish all the books would get published as graphic novels.

This graphic novel adaptation of the 2nd half of the amazing Twilight novel by Stephenie Meyer is absolutely beautiful and really makes the novel come to life! I think you'll agree with me that by the time you get to the end of this book you'll be begging for them to make New Moon into graphic novel form as well.

The first one was awesome so I do not see why this would not be too!!! It was not as detailed as the actual book, but just as interesting. Just like the movie, but not as moviey. It should be very good, and I cannot wait until it comes out!!!! And for all the people that say that they read this and that it is a bad book, they are lying because it has not even come out yet!!!!! >w< (() ('') (uu) uuo
