I have to admit, I was a bit sceptical of the whole Twilight saga. I mean, a highschool vampire romance. A bit ridiculous, yes?


For those of you who have been living under a rock, Twilight is a series of books that have had teen girls, and those few adults who admit to reading it, going crazy. Late last year I decided to finally read the first installment after much encouragement from my fanpire and twihard friends. Oh. My. God. Sure, it's not mastefully written and you hear a lot avout how perfect Edward's face, smile, eyelashes and nose hair are, but it is ridiculously good. I read it pretty much constantly for the next week. I have to warn you, although you've probably already read it, this stuff is like a drug. It cloud your every waking (and dreaming) moments and makes it ridiculously hard to do just about everything. I scabbed thenext two off friends and the saw the movie as soon as it was available. I'm bow half way thorugh the last one, Breaking Dawn, and read snippets every so often. I have to admit, I'm purposefully trying not to finish it because I think I might go into serious depression when it finishes.


But do I recommend it? To tell you the truth, I'm not entirely sure. I have some major problems with the whole concept. Throughout the entire series Bella, our main character, and Edward continiously tell of their great love for eachother and how it will overcome anything, and Bella goes through a few traumas for this, given they aren't intentional. I may just be reading into it too much, but it seems to me to be sending the message to young girls that 'hey, a guy can hurt you, but as long as he love you, it doesn't matter'.


Well, no matter what I think about it, I should get it out there here and now that I'm not in fact suffering from OCD (Obsessive Cullen Disorder) but... on Team Jacob! I'm sorry to offend all the thousands of Robert Pattison fans, but my heart will always be with the werewolf... ;)
