I've put off reading Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga for a while now. I hear "it's about vampires," and more or less just kind of give it the brush off. However, the 11th graders I teach have become comletely captivated by these books, and at the suggestion of a very reliable media center specialist, I decided I'd at least borrow the first one from our school's library. I checked it out like three weeks ago and until Saturday, I still hadn't picked it up. (Don't worry, Bookishly Fabulous, teachers at my school can keep books as long as we want, so I haven't incurred any late fees!)
Yesterday, I was bored, and my husband was watching the Clemson game, so I picked it up to at least attempt it. I was propelled through all 498 pages within in a few hours. I had finished the book by 6PM and was headed to the book store to buy the second one, New Moon. I'm halfway through it now, and I can easily see why my kids love these books. They are so intriguing. They really make me want to be a vampire...just a little bit though. And I'd have to be one of the Cullens if I were a vampire, but all the same, they're great.
Have any of you guys read them? If so, what did you think?
