This past week I have been engrossed in a book series called Twilight. I’m a little embarrassed, really, because these books are in the Young Adult section, but maybe I had been missing out on this kind of stuff? Not that there really are vampires…

And besides, is it “young adult” because the main characters are in their teens? Romeo and Juliet were very young as well but those books are in the literature classics section.

Another embarrassing point is that is IS about vampires and people that shift into wolves. I’ve been drooling over a fictional vampire character that doesn’t exist and will never exist…the perfect, protective, intelligent, beautiful, intuitive (since he can read minds), athletic, sensual man.

or…boy.

He’s stuck in his 17 year old form.

sigh.

I would read the first book again many times, because that is when the human girl, Bella, and the vampire, Edward, first meet. It’s heart-wrenching and cute. The second book is pretty blah since I wasn’t interested in the love triangle with a guy that really didn’t pose a threat. I loved the third book. The fourth book was really long, less cute, and more dramatic.

Overall, I recommend this book series to any woman or girl who enjoys the feeling of having her breath taken away.

And I don’t usually read romantic books, so I have none to judge this to, but there is adventure as well. It’s not alllll starry eyes.
