Well I finally finished the twilight series. Well, I guess not *finally.* I started the first book, Twilight, on October 25th. I’m not crazy, I was just in the hospital so that’s why I remember. Ha. Moving on….it took me about two weeks to read that novel. Maybe a little more. Which two weeks being an insane amount of time for me to read. With being sick and messing with work I had a hard time picking it up and finishing it. So, that was around two weeks ago. The second book, New Moon, took me around a week to read. I was interested, really liking the material, but was just reading at night. The third book now leads us to about a week ago when I started. This novel, Eclipse, only took me 3 days to read. The last book, Breaking Dawn, took me two days to read (this is normal Patti book reading time). Funny thing is, the books get bigger as you go along.

So Breaking Dawn got really bad reviews. A lot of the Twilight fans hated it and wanted to return it. I, actually, really liked it. I wasn’t disappointed at all. I think these books mean something different to everyone. The first thing that attracted people to these books is the main character Bella, and her love for the vampire, Edward. Bella was a normal, self conscious teenager, who I’m sure a lot of girls related with. Edward was a perfect being, extremely beautiful and Bella was completely in love with him. She spends a lot of time during the first three books doubting the love he has for her, because she is too ordinary to be loved by someone like him. The final book Edward and Bella marry. So, obviously she has the man she loves. The self consciousness is gone. I think a lot of people lost interest because she got what she wanted. They couldn’t relate anymore. I enjoyed it though. It was a hard time to get to her happy ending, even in the last book, so I appreciate the hard work it took her to get there. I loved the series, and definitely recommend it to anyone.

The movie’s good too. :-)
