i hope this doesn’t offend your sensibilities, readers (all… two of you), but i must confess: i am a closet TWILIGHT freak.
let me be very clear: i don’t expect Stephenie Meyer to join the ranks of Austen and the Brontes. her writing is okay, her descriptions a bit lackluster, and her flair for the dramatic is excessive (Bella fainting basically every time Edward kisses her? give me a break).
the overall story, though? the impossible love she created with a few strokes of a pen (keyboard)? irresistible. how else can you explain her New York Times Bestseller status and over 100 million copies (of the Twilight Saga books) sold?
their love is just that: irresistible. i wouldn’t be surprised to see Bella and Edward’s romance stand the test of time, but still. i hate to love them. cocaine is to an addict as Bella is to Edward as the Twilight Saga is to me.
maybe it’s that hopeless romantic buried way down deep inside of me, but it is true. i can’t get enough of this modern twist on a classic-ish romantic novel. the Twilight Saga will find a permanent home on my bookshelf.
