TWILIGHT ROCKS

I love Twilight books to the max. Why? Because I like fantasy...that's why I like Harry Potter books, The Chronicle of Narnia, Lord of the Rings and Vampire Diaries to name a few. I guess not every people would understand this craziness but I don't care and I won't stop telling people about it.
I've been a dreamer my whole life and I have dreamed that I would find this tall, dark and handsome guy one day...well at least I got the handsome part correctly...according to me that is. Since young I've read love stories on fairy tales, stories of princesses and princes from other countries, Sweet Dreams series and Mills & Boons, when I was in STF! So, when I read a little movie called 'Twilight' in 'Galaxie' magazine in November 2008, I was intrigued. I saw the picture of R.Pattz and K.Stew as 'Edward and Bella' and I was in love at first sight! I quickly went to find the book because from my experience with Harry Potter movies, the film will never do justice to the book. And boy...when I read it, I was in for a treat. I finished the book in record time. It was very hard for me to put the book down even for a meal or a relief.
The story is mesmerising and the characters are awesome. I also love the fact that it champions chastity. It's a pure clean fun. I admit that the dialogue is quite cheesy but who cares! And Edward Cullen is perfect. He is so handsome, so romantic, so understanding and so unselfish. Although I'm 38 and a mother of two, I could fall in love with him over and over again. And he is fictional...my husband won't mind if I fantasise about him. The way he loves Bella is every woman's dream. He loves her unconditionally. That's why older women fancy Edward, I guess. He reminds us of the perfect gentleman that we have been looking for since we were young. As for Bella, well she's one lucky girl and we have all dreamed to be in her shoes. And the rest of the characters, they are just awesome, the vampires with their special abilities and humans with their innocence.
My husband is Team Twilight of course and this is one cunning scheme of mine. You see, nobody of my age is crazy as I am in this small town so I would be dateless on watching Twilight. So, he was intrigued that I was so engrossed with the book that he asked me to translate the story to him. Well he tried to read one of Narnia's books before and he gave up after a few pages and the book is M.I.A until now. I'm not going to take the risk with my precious 'Twilight'! To cut the story short, I told him the story minus the cheesy parts and he's hooked right away.
After reading the first book and having watched the movie, I tried to find the rest of the books. I managed to finish all three in five days! All the while translating to my dear husband too. And he's the one who's pestering me with 'what happens next' question.
I love New Moon and Breaking Dawn and I like Eclipse. When I finished the books, I was at lost as if I have lost my friends. To satiate this, I started googling anything that is Twilight. I've read Midnight Sun and it is such a WOW. I hope Stephenie Meyer will finish and publish it one day.
I love the Twilight books and I am proud of it. To those who don't get this, just give the book a chance. You might be suprised at yourself because everyone like a good love story...
