Amazon.com just came out with its “best of” lists for 2008. Since Amazon is best known for selling books (even though it offers everything from groceries to jewelry these days), we thought you might want to know which titles were the hottest this year.
No surprise to tween girls or their parents, the best-selling book was “Breaking Dawn,” also known as the fourth book in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight saga.
The book that got the most positive reviews was “The Revolution: A Manifesto” by Ron Paul. Meyer’s “Twilight” got the most positive reviews for a Kindle book. Of course, Amazon’s Kindle was the best-selling electronic item on its 2008 list.
The book most frequently purchased as a gift? It was the first book in Meyer’s series, “Twilight” - the one that became a hit movie when it opened in November.

Ron Paul’s book was great and a must read for every US citizen who wants to understand what is happening to our country and what you can do about it. Glad that Amazon didn’t suppress the book’s success like many media outlet did to Ron Paul during the campaign. RP 2012?!

Also, 2008 was the year that Moonlight was canceled. It really was the year of the vampire. All we needed was an Anne Rice book, a Buffy episode, and a Dracula movie and it would have been complete.

- Posted by The Twilight Saga in the News | Twilight Info & News“The Revolution: A Manifesto” is a great read. It could be alternately titled “Salvaging a Rapidly Declining Country for Dummies” as it explains in layman’s terms how we’re setting the table for our own socio-economic ruin.
