Twilight Craze
OK, so Twilight came out in October of 2005, as far as i can tell, and since the word GO, i have been pressured to read this book and then the series. i freely admit that the premise of this book is right up my alley. Romance and vampires.. who could want more?? Well, i am not one to jump on a band wagon when it comes to books. It seems the more everyone tells me read a book the more i resist. (stupid i know, but just the way i am)
My best friend read the book after her teenage daughter went on and on and on about Bella and Edward, how much she LOVED the book. Then my best friend was after me nonstop to read it. i told her i would, time passed and still i did not read it. It got to the point that she finally mailed me a copy of the book. i just kept putting it off, i just was not in the mood for a teen read. My mother heard me talk about the book and how crazy my friend and her daughter were about the book and she decided to read it. and she joined in the consistent persistence that i read Twilight.
UGH! Got to the point were i was tired of even hearing about this dang book and the series. Then the movie came out. Mom took me to see it. Truthfully, i did not see the whole craze about it. I mean, i could tell that the premises of the book would be good, but just did not translate well to the screen. There was a jem of something to the story, but still..i was not in the mood to read this Twilight book.
Then New Moon came to the screen. Once again Mom took me to the movies to see it. HOLY CAT BALLS!!! OK OK OK i admit when i am wrong! Seeing New Moon, i walked out of the theatre and went straight to the library and checked out the whole series of books and read all 4 in less than a week. ( Hello, Breaking Dawn is 768 pages!)
Needless to say i am now a HUGE Twilight fan. Even went online and read Midnight Sun by Stephanie Meyers that she has posted on her website. (for those of you not in the know Midnight Sun is Twilight retold from Edwards POV... But it is not a complete work. Ms Meyers stopped working on the project when it was leaked on line..Finally she decided to post what she had written on her website so that there was not different versions out in cyberspace)
Any fan of romance would not make a miss step with the reading of Twilight. Once read you will drive straight to the bookstore or library for the next three books in the series. *** Side note**** Thank you Wendi for your stubborn nature! love ya!
