So, I normally attempt to avoid things that are all the craze, not sure why but it's the way I was made. But I was at Half Priced Books not all that long ago and found Twilight, I figured why not see how I like it. I've been having problems getting into the Eragon books and needed something new to read. To make a long story short, I read the whole Twilight saga in about a week. Why is it that they drew me in, making me want more. I even went onto Stephenie Meyer's website and read Midnight Sun (Twilight from Edwards perspective)... it's good, quite a bummer someone had to go and leak the draft, I would have loved to read the whole thing. I probably would read the whole saga in his perspective it it came out. LOL, I almost wish I was a teenage girl so I could run around screaming about how much I love the book.
So what is it about these books that draw people in? I think it's the idea of true love, but it's also a reminder that love isn't easy. And love never is easy, you have to work for it every day. Somehow Meyers makes you really care about the characters and she does it pretty darn fast. The books read pretty easy and keep you wanting more. I hear not everyone was happy with how the saga ended... but it's exactly what I wanted, so that made me happy.
So yeah, I would recommend reading the saga, it's a nice dark romance novel. I think it's worth the time if you enjoy reading, or even if you don't you might be surprised. I plan on reading them again and I rarely read the same book twice.
I watched the Twilight movie after I finished the saga, the books are certainly better, but then they normally are. After listening to Meyers explain why she was okay with the changes in the movie from the book because they seemed like things that could have happened. It made the movie much better the second time I watched it, I can't wait till New Moon comes out this Fall.
So yeah... how did I become one of those crazy Twilight fans? Ugh, I hate it when I get all into something that's so popular. And now I sound like a crazy Twilight fan or something.
