Only now have I divulged into the world of Twilight. I had attempted to keep away from the series because of the over-hype and fervor it created back in 2005 when the series first came out, and then the fan fiction based on it only made me recoil even further. But yesterday I began reading it. Let me explain though. I only came upon these books because a teacher handed them to me and said "You can have them." I'm not one to turn down books so even seeing it was Twilight, I gladly took them off her hands. I must also be honest in saying I waited until I finished a book I actually wanted to read, and until the boredom was unbearable to begin to read them. But as I began to read, and as I quickly forgot the actors who had played Bell and Edward, and as I forgot the movie entirely, I was actually able to enjoy the story.
I have finished the novel, all 498 pages. I must admit that these books are neither badly written, nor do they have a terrible story line. In one day I managed to get through half the book rather quickly, I was entrapped, engulfed by the scenes that played out in my mind. After reading the first novel I don't find it to be as terrible as I thought, it is actually a lot better than I expected.
