I did it! I took the nudgings of several people to read "Twilight" and I can honestly say it really captivated me! What is it about the lure of the "dark side" that I seem to find intriguing? I was captivated by the way that Edward drew Bella in in the beginning and then as they really and honestly got to know each other, I realized that both of them were seeing deeper than the surface -- they were seeing deep inside of each other.
Isn't that what we are supposed to do with our fellow men? Aren't we supposed to see beyond the exterior into the heart of the other? I couldn't help try to analyze the deeper meanings of this very strange relationship in the mind of the author. Knowing that she is LDS made me think of all sorts of reasons for her story line.
She certainly did her homework in learning all about the myths of the "Vampires." It gave her story a lot of depth. I can honestly say, it was a page turner and I enjoyed each one -- all the way to the end.
I can't wait to start on #2, "New Moon." Thanks Aubrey and Jacki for the recommendation!
