Twilight
I was first asked to read this book last summer by my friend Anita. I asked her what it was about and she shyly said vampires. I immediately said no way not interested. I could tell she really wanted me to read it but I couldn't bring myself to. Then recently Jen told me that she would read the Sisterhood of the Traveling pants if I read Twilight. I gritted my teeth and thought Ok I will try. I went and bought the book, for some reason I enjoy reading more when I am not worried about having to return it to someone. I guess I don't feel rushed. It sat on my shelve for about a week and I had read just a few pages. My son came home from Scout camp and saw it and was very excited he thought that I had bought it for him. He loves Vampire books. I then had to inform him that it was mine and I was trying to reading it. He then proceeded to tell me that he could read much faster than I could so I should let him read it first... Of course he is thirteen and thinks he is much smarter than I am. I guess I took that as a challenge or something because I started reading Twilight that night. I was so taken by this book that I couldn't put it down. Even when I did I dreamed it or thought about it every waking minute..... I finished the book in about 48 hrs which is a record for me. But my son was happy. I haven't been reading as much now as I used to when I was in High School or College so I was surprised that I read it so fast. I was afraid to tell my friends how much I was into this book because I knew that they would think I was crazy. But I felt like I was losing my mind, because I was so obsessed about the book. So finally I called one of my friends and admitted how obsessed I was and she just laughed because she was to. I was so relieved!!! In fact everyone I talk to feels the same way.... I usually talk about the chemistry and how the characters interact with each other. I can only say I haven't ever read a book that held me so well that I believed I was with them as they were awaked to each other. and how they felt for each other. I just recently visited the Seattle area and loved remembering what I had read and actually seeing it in the landscape..She was so explicit in her description of the area and yes it is perfect.. The only thing I can tell you is it wont be a waste of time to read these books if you like Love Stories. This is much less to me about the Vampires and much more about falling in Love... I hope you read it and enjoy.....
