Sophie,
Oh, the Twilight series…
I loved the first one. Edward Cullen was my sparkly vampire boyfriend. After that, my enjoyment of the series decreased with each successive book. One Enlish Lit. girl to another: I really, really want to hear what you think of “Breaking Dawn.” (I kept wondering if Stephenie Meyere let Stephen King take over there for a while. You’ll see what I mean!)
That said…you better believe I’m going to the movie this weekend. I’ll just try to pretend I’m one of the little fangirl’s moms and blend in as best I can.

Since this is an old post (I’m a little behind on my blog reading) I’m going to ask you a really honest question and hope that I don’t offend….why read these books? They are about vampires…I honestly just don’t get it…are the vampires supposed to represent outcasts in society or something? Do they have Godly qualitites that will challenge my lifestyle? I’m an avid reader and have heard about these, but not so much in Christian cirlcles…I made a promise to God years ago that I would not read anything fiction that did not have redeeming qualities…so I am HONESTLY trying to understand…please know that. I am trying to understand why a Christian would read a book about vampires….hope you can set me straight :)

Oh my Gosh! I just started reading the first one! I can’t put it down. I’m actually sitting at my desk sulking because I won’t have time to read any tonight! UGH!!

When my nieces talked about this book, I couldn’t figure out why! Now… I’m just HOOKED! WOOHHOOO!

I can’t tell you how many ladies I know who have jumped into the Twilight series in the last week or two. Including ME. Like you, I’d been rolling my eye about the whole thing, until I decided to pick Twilight up last week on a whim. I finished it in just over 24 hours. Same for New Moon. I am now half-way through Eclipse. It is rare that I am completely sucked in like this, but there must be something about these books as every single person that I know whose read them has had the same experience. Stephenie Meyer hit the jackpot big time!

I too was wondering about the message from these books. Vampires?? Ewww!! and I have not read the books, but know people who have. Anyway I think I might of read the same review from crosswalk..but I also ran across these blog posts that were quite good… the first is the initial post and the second link is the follow up from all the comments… it may or may not help the ones who are on the fence…
