TWILIGHTer at Heart!

Over the past couple of months on my rare but free time, my older sister was able to convince me to read Twilight. I am going to admit I took the book just so that she would stop shoving it in my face every time I saw her and finally decided to start reading it because she would ask me about it every day. I figured I would read the book every now and then, whenever I could sneak in some extra time. That was obviously not the way it played out. Once I began reading the book, it was hardly impossible for me to put it down. Instead of spending my weekends with friends or family or just having any interaction with other humans, I stayed cooped up in my room finishing one book and continuing on to the other. It all started with "Twilight" then "New Moon" next "Eclipse" and finally "Breaking Dawn". I have to admit I was hooked. This four book series by author Stephenie Meyer is seen as the modern day version of Romeo and Juliet, however this is Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. And in case you do not know, Phoenix, Arizona is part of the story because that is where Bella’s from! Yay for Stephenie give our city a shout-out!

With that all said and done, Twilight the movie is out in theaters TODAY the 21st! Of course being the TWILIGHTers that we are... my sister, my friend (who is hooked thanks to me) and myself bought tickets to the advanced midnight showing of Twilight last night at 12:01am. The books are always more detailed and vivid than the movies so of course it was not exactly the same. However I personally would give it two thumps up. I believe every person sighed, screamed, gasped, or a combination of all three, when Edward first appeared. Yes, this is a biased post, but what can I say... only that I can not wait to see the future movies of the Twilight Saga!! So if this sounds like your type of thing and your class work allows the time, pick up a book and read… or just go watch the movie. :-)

(Bellow are just two of the many wonderful quotes from Twilight.)

"When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it’s not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end".
— Bella Swan, Twilight | Preface

"I wondered to myself why no one else had seen him standing so far away, before he was suddenly, impossibly saving my life. With chagrin, I realized the probable cause — no one else was as aware of Edward as I always was. No one else watched him the way I did. How pitiful".
— Bella Swan, Twilight | Chapter 4
