Remember how you’re parents hated how you were such a picky eater, that no matter how much they pleaded, you wouldn’t clean you plate? Remember how they’d resent you for it because you hated that one kind of food, even though you never tried it? Well, my fellow bloggers, I believe that Twilight is equivalence to broccoli, cauliflower, or brussel spouts, or any yucky food to those haters of Stephenie Meyer’s series. No matter how many times people rave about it, there are some who cannot stand to even consider reading any book from the series after hearing a myriad of criticism. Well, despite the various comments about the series, I decided to pinch my nose and delve into the mythical world of vampires to determine if the positive and negative hype were fact or fiction. I refuse to push my plate aside until I’ve at least had a bite of it.
So far, the book is enjoyable. The introduction doesn’t immediately jump to romance, but instead, it involves a more subtle chain of events. Isabella Swan moves from
One day at lunch, Bella notices a peculiar group of kids sitting together; “they didn’t look anything alike” and “they all had very dark eyes” (18). She continues to stare until one of them notices, only later to realize that one of the Cullens in her Biology partner. The two meet, and their destinies become intertwined.
Perhaps my initial prejudices against the book were wrong, at least for so far. The book isn’t being rushed, the author fluidly transitions from one idea to another, bringing in the characters at the perfect time. Maybe it wasn’t such a bad idea to read this book, but I don’t think I should jump the gun just yet. I think I should read a bit more to conclude towards such a statement.
