In October 2008, Twilight was ranked #26 in USA Today's list of "Bestselling Books of Last 15 Years".[25] Later, the book went on to become the biggest selling book of 2008.[26]

Critical reception

.Since Twilight's initial publication, the book has received mainly positive reviews from critics, with Publishers Weekly calling Meyer one of the most "promising new authors of 2005".[27] The Times praised the book for capturing "perfectly the teenage feeling of sexual tension and alienation",[28] and Amazon.com hailed the book as "[d]eeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful".[29] Hillias J. Martin of School Library Journal stated, "Realistic, subtle, succinct, and easy to follow, Twilight will have readers dying to sink their teeth into it",[30] and Norah Piehl of TeenReads wrote, "Twilight is a gripping blend of romance and horror".[31] Publishers Weekly's starred review described Bella's "infatuation with outsider Edward", their risky relationship, and "Edward's inner struggle" as a metaphor for sexual frustration accompanying adolescence.^ But, since Edward is away from Bella most of the time ( or so she thinks ), he has a totally different story.

 ^ On a realistic level this book made no sense whatsoever, though it did provide my friends and I entertainment as we commented on how Meyer's "depression" because someone stole her first draft of her next book and posted it online (the book, by the way, is "Twilight" written from Edward's POV).

 [32] Booklist wrote, "There are some flaws here–a plot that could have been tightened, an over reliance on adjectives and adverbs to bolster dialogue–but this dark romance seeps into the soul."[33] Christopher Middleton of The Daily Telegraph called the book a "high school drama with a bloody twist ... no secret, of course, at whom this book is aimed, and no doubt, either, that it has hit its mark.[34] Jennifer Hawes of The Post and Courier said, "Twilight, the first book in Stephenie Meyer's series, gripped me so fiercely that I called the nearest teenager I know and begged for her copy after I misplaced my own."[35]
.Kirkus gave a more mixed review, noting that, "[Twilight] is far from perfect: Edward's portrayal as monstrous tragic hero is overly Byronic, and Bella's appeal is based on magic rather than character.^ Edward's view is far more mature than Bella's, and the story is much different.

 Nonetheless, the portrayal of dangerous lovers hits the spot; fans of dark romance will find it hard to resist."[36] Although the Daily Telegraph later listed Twilight at number 32 on its list of "100 books that defined the noughties", it said that the novel was "Astonishing, mainly for the ineptitude of [Meyer's] prose".[37]
