I can officially say that I am a Twilight convert. I never in a million years thought that I would read the book, much less love it. But, I am here today to say that I read it, and I LOVED IT!
I am not going to spend anytime at all telling you what this book is about. Even I knew what the book was about before I read it. Instead, what I'd like to tell you is why you should read the book, if you haven't already. My friend Meghan told me that the book, above all else, was a love story. Who doesn't love a great love story? Twilight is a love story like no other with scenes that are so romantically intense that I found myself literally holding my breath, waiting for the scene to unfold. The romance was so controlled it was unreal. If ever there was a book for teenagers to read that promotes self-control, well...this is it! It's not just a book about vampires, it really is a love story and for that reason alone you should pick this up and read it if you haven't already. And, for those of you who just can't move beyond the vampires, Meyer portrays them as real people, beautiful people, in fact. You will, I promise, forget at times that you are reading about vampires.
I do feel the need to say one thing about vampires...aside from the blood thing, I think they are fairly cool creatures with amazing talents: crisp sense of hearing, can see into the future, eternally young, beautiful, fast. Meyer certainly makes it seem like a fairly cool thing to be. I found myself, as Edward explained that he was born in 1908, wishing that I could have the wisdom of 100 years of life in a 17 year old body. That is a killer combination! ( No pun intended...)
Happy reading. Off to download the next book in the series: New Moon.
