If you’ve been reading this blog long enough, you’ll know that once in a while I’ll post about a secular title. When I logged onto AOL yesterday, I saw an advertisement that Twilight was coming out on DVD today. I never saw the movie, but, months ago, while I was visiting my parents, I had a conversation with my sister about the book. I asked her, “What’s up with this book Twilight? Why is it so great? It’s about a vampire, right?”<\/p>\n

My dad piped in, before she could respond. He said, “It’s a love story, that’s why it’s selling so well.”<\/p>\n

My sister nodded and said, “He’s right, that’s why it’s selling so well.”<\/p>\n

Since I’d been hearing so much about this book, my sister, myself and my husband drove over to Walmart so that I could purchase Twilight. I was glad it was mass-market paperback, so I paid less than ten dollars for it.<\/p>\n

I read it a short time later and was shocked that I actually enjoyed the story! I know I’d read on some website that Stephen King said that Stephenie Meyer can’t write herself out of a paper bag, but I disagree. I loved the story and the teens never had intercourse. <\/p>\n

Although I enjoyed the story, I thought it was kind of sad, too. I mean, he’s a vampire, he’s not a real person, and he stays seventeen forever! How can you live happily ever after like that? <\/p>\n

I saw a write-up about the series in Today’s Christian Woman magazine, so I do know they end up together later on. So I purchased the rest of the titles, but have not had the opportunity to read the rest of the novels. When I do, I’ll blog about them and give them away as a set. As I pointed out yesterday, I have TOO MANY BOOKS in this house, and that’s part of the reason why our home is such a mess!<\/p>\n

Any of you read Twilight? If so, did you enjoy it? Hate it? What did you like or dislike about it?<\/strong>
I didn’t bother posting the book summary here since I assume most people already know what the story is about.<\/p>\n
