I've been reading the Twilight series lately. I’m done with
Twilight and New Moon, and now I’m starting with Eclipse. It helps that I’ve seen the first two movie flicks. It is
easy to picture out the characters, Forks, the Swan and Cullen’s house.
It’s been awhile since I’ve read my last novel and the
Twilight Series (thanks to my daughter Michelle, she was able to get hold of
all four books of Stephenie Meyer) proves to be an entertainment during Sunday
afternoons when it gets boring.
I admire Stephenie Meyer’s imagination and I wonder where
she got her inspiration to write these books. Vampires and werewolves, well,
one can do research about them but to weave it into a love story with a human.
How is it possible? Bella’s character certainly is a product of psychological
studies on human behavior.
Ms. Meyer succeeded in making the novels suspenseful but
less of a horror. That’s what I like about her books since I don’t like horror
stories. I don’t even have nightmares about vampires and werewolves. The movies
even have the same effect. Not horrific and very much entertaining.
I like Alice Cullen’s character, she’s so into Bella and
ever supportive to her brother Edward. Training oneself not to be affected by the
smell of human blood, become a vegetarian of sort in the vampire world and be
able to merge with humans on a daily basis, Carlisle Cullen is one most
admirable vampire there is.
