resisted reading these books for the year and a half I've worked at the library. I thought from the way I saw them flying off the shelf to pre-teens that they would be corny and slightly kiddy. In other words I was a Twilight skeptic. The book fell into my lap by accident as it happens. I was just experimenting to see how long I would have to wait to receive a copy, because we were having a book club on it and wanted to see if we would be able to get enough copies in. I know Robin has done a review of Twilight herself but I wanted to add my two cents. I began reading it at 1:00am, 2 days past the due date thinking I would just read a chapter and then fall asleep. What happened next is a blurry whirlwind 4 weeks of chores and homework being forgotten in favor of my reading the combined 2500 pages of the entire series. Somehow I did get all my homework done but it was a big effort to tear myself away. I am in love with these books to a clearly unhealthy degree. I love it so much I shelled out the $100 bucks to buy both me and my sister each the complete hardcover box sets of the books. Although as some will argue there are undertones in these books of Edward ordering Bella around, I think that falls away a lot after the first two books, once Edward had accepted that they have to be together regardless of the risk. And although some have complained that a strong female character like Bella should have bigger goals than merely being with Edward, this is a story about romance and battling through everything to come out on the other side whole and together. In Shakespeare’s time did people whine that Juliet didn’t have bigger goals than being with Romeo? Of course in that time girls didn’t have that many opportunities, and I’m not comparing this to Shakespeare. But one of my favorite parts in the series is the comparisons Bella makes between Jacob and Romeo and Juliet's Paris; I thought those were really interesting and insightful. Stephanie Meyer has a way of drawing you so far into the story that you feel like you’re living it. Many have complained about the last book in this series, Breaking Dawn. And to be fair to the critics there were some huge twists in this final installment of the saga. In some places characterization changes somewhat as well. Many have complained that Bella is totally different, more calm, confident and proud than in the previous books. This does at times distance the audience from her, we feel like she’s not really the girl we’ve gotten to know. But there are massive events (that I won’t mention by name here, although they have been a long time coming) that happen to her to change her in these ways. She’s growing up, even if she’ll no longer grow old (ooooow I guess I kinda did mention it.) A lot of people have also been unsatisfied with the ending of this final book, which does feel a bit anticlimactic. But being that it is the last book it really does leave the story right where we all were desperate for it to reach, together, happy, for eternity. Meyer could have ended this book in a way that left room for a 5th and possibly 6th book, but she chose to wrap it up, and I’m not a fan of leaving loose ends, I want my favorite vampire family tied up in a bow so I can rest soundly that they got a happily ever after. I’m just old fashioned that way. Stephanie Meyer has stated that she believes peoples bad reaction to the final book was because they were angry and sad that the whole thing had to come to an end. I believe that is absolutely true. When stories are this great we don’t want to see them end. As I raced through the books needing to find out what happened in the end, I also felt continually apprehensive of how little of these masterpieces were left to get through, what would I do when there was no more Twilight to read? Return to normal mundane life, where there are no gorgeous vampires? And so when I finally finished Breaking Dawn I was sad for a while, but am overall happy with where this ended up, I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way really. We could have taken a slightly different path to get our favorite couple here, but the final destination is the one readers have yearned for all along. One note on the movie that just came out… not to coin this cliché but if you saw it without reading the books your doing yourself a huge disservice. I wasn’t too fond of the movie, although Robert Pattenson’s smile, face and hair did redeem it a little. It was too fast and short, and redid or skipped too much. Even if you’re not a reader by nature trust me when I say that you will fly through these books and you will realize that the movie really doesn’t compare to them at all. If you read this far, you're a gentle(wo)men and a scholar Anyway, Until next time, ~Lindsay~
