Now that I've given a little insight on my passion, what critics think, and the woman behind the book. It's time to share the information I've researched with greater detail in relation to the book Twilight.
The master mind behind this work is Stephenie Meyer. In my last blog I explained how she developed the idea of unusual lovers. She wanted to share her idea with world and have everyone visualize the images she had got from this romantic story.
This is the first of 4 novels written by Stephenine. She believed the story was so interesting and unusual that she just kept on going to have others follow. There are many reviews on This book and they all steer in different directions. Some agree with my feelings and others disagree. I guess it just really depends on your taste in love. Vampire love is different from normal human love. Obviously the image of a vampire is a blood sucking killer. No one ever thinks of a vampire as a romantic seducer. For me, after reading the reviews and seeing the video I knew that i had to read the book to get the full effect i was looking for with this passion of mine. Twilight is very famous and also made the New York's Best Seller List.
This story is different and to be honest it kind of makes you look at love in a whole new aspect. I guess what I'm really trying to say is that it'll make you want to fall in love with a vampire. Meyer is an amazing writer. You can visualize everything as your reading it and you can almost put your self in the book. It's something I love and I can get lost in.

My Deeper Connection
Stephenie Meyer is the author of the Twilight series, a series of books that I have come to be quite fond of. Stephenie says that the idea for Twilight came to her in a dream a few years ago. Little did she know that that dream would become a Best-Selling Novel. Obviously the Twilight readers know the story, but for those who don't, I'll give a little insight. The dream was about a human girl and a vampire who falls in love with her while, at the same time, thirsts for her blood. I’ve taken a quote from Meyer to explain why this story is so unique and how it relates to her dream. "When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, is it not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end?" From this I get the idea that her dream was so unusual and unrealistic that she had to tell others her story. The typical thought anyone gets when they think about vampires is that they kill people. It’s unusual for vampires to fall in love with humans because they want to kill them. I feel that Stephenie fell in love with the idea of introducing vampires and humans interacting in a realist and sexual environment. She had to share her story with everyone.
Despite Stephenie's writing experience she has made Twilight international. It's known everywhere. I came across this series of books from a woman I work with. I often found her reading these during her break and she was glued. I thought to myself that these books must be good if you can't manage to put them down. So I bought the book and everything just kind of went from there. After one novel, I started the next one instantly. I found myself reading more instead of watching T.V or getting on the computer. These books give a fresh look at a stereotypical story line involving vampires and humans. It takes the "boy meets girl" scenario to a whole new level by taking the average disturbed girl out of her traditional setting and landing her into a world that she would have never imagined to exist. Stephenie Meyer is brilliant and I find her to be one of the greatest minds of our generation. Well at least with love stories!!
