You are talking to a Twilight fan!

How i started to read this book is actually quite interesting. One of my pg mates got a couple of books in December. at that point of time, i had my entrance exams every Sunday. she said she got that book coz she heard somewhere that it's a big hit in US, and they are making a movie blah blah! she asks me to read it, and tell her if it's any good or not.
I still remember, it was a Saturday night, the next day i had my tiss exam. i couldn't sleep (as usual!) so i decided to start with the book. i got soo engrossed that the next time i looked at the time it was 1 AM. i had to literally fight with myself to keep the book down and go to sleep.
Would you believe it, i actually took the book along with me to the exam. as soon as the paper got over, i sat in my friends car, and opened the book. she did try and question me a couple of things bout the exam. i only remember grunting (i swear i would've hissed the way Edward did, if only i knew how to!). i had finished the entire series within a week.
Why is this book such a rage? In my view, Twilight is the most perfect, classic, escapism novel. Stephenie Meyer is an amazing writer. One of the very few writers who is particular about details, so you feel that everything is happening right in front of you. At the same time, it's not boring by long descriptions of people and places. When you read, you feel that you have been deported to Forks. You can feel Bella's depression about the constant rain and no sun, you can almost hear the vampires hissing to each other near your ear, you feel the pain of Jacob Black as he writes the letter to Bella.
I haven't had a chance to see the movie yet. I'm not even sure if i want to, coz I'm not sure that Robert Pattinson may suit the role of Edward (the picture i had in my mind of Edward does not match up to him)
My recommendation is that, even if you do not like fantasy, vampire novels, do read the first book at least.(That's you Di.) I'm sure you'll fall in love with it.
