Jason Berry, August 11, 2008

I remember when I first came across Twilight – I read the back of the book and put it right back on the shelf, after saying to myself, “No Thanks!” (I generally prefer Monstrous Vampires as opposed to Romantic ones)
Not too long after, I noticed New Moon, and then Eclipse, and most recently I have seen all of the Midnight-Pre-Order Parties for the fourth and final novel, in the series, Breaking Dawn.
Then, to top it off, I saw a trailer for the movie, based on Twilight, which is coming out in December.
After all of this, I figured there must be something to this series, so I decided to give it a shot. . .

Kudos to Stephenie Meyer!!! (Even if I had wanted to hate this novel, it would have been Impossible to do so!) Stephenie has written a very suspenseful novel, where you just keep flipping the pages, faster and faster. I do not think that the novel would have been anywhere near as good as it was, had it been written by a man. The romance that kindles between the main characters and the emotions that Bella goes through are completely realistic! You immediately feel for all of the characters within the book, which speaks on how good of an author Stephenie truly is. She is basically the American J. K. Rowling. I cannot wait to read the remaining three books in this saga!!

Now, as far as the Vampires go, do not expect the Monstrous kind, which I usually prefer, nor expect the glamorized ‘Anne Rice’ kind.
Stephenie has tweaked the Vampire Mythos in her own unique way – one that totally works for the book that she has written.

Definitely give this series a shot!! Hopefully, like me, you will not be disappointed!!
