I really don't like Twilight.......but......

I'm choosing to discuss a topic that may be somewhat sensitive for my female friends......speaking of certain vampires and werewolves. How fitting with the new Twilight movie to have recently (or just about to) come out......I don't exactly know I don't really follow it.

My dear pink lady friends......I love you, you know that.:) However, the topic of Twilight kind of put a damper on our relationship for a little bit because I didn't quite share in your infatuation for the Stephanie Meyer's series. "Twilight" itself wasn't a bad book. I liked it for what it was worth. Sexy vampires living amongst humans seemed rather intriguing, and then werewolves were thrown into the mix and it seemed to have potential. But by the time I was reading the 3rd book (Eclipse) I grew very tired of Bella and her whinny, victimized, immature, me-me-me persona. It didn't help matters that the book was written in her perspective. Part of me wanted her to end up with Jacob just because I didn't think she deserved to be with Edward. But then Edward loved her so much, I couldn't bare the thought of them not being together.

By the time I finally got through the 4th book I said to myself, "really......did I just read that??" The 4th book was probably one of the most anti-climatic books I have ever read. HUGE disappointment. How on earth can a writer build up a concept like that, stirring the vampires to a rebellion only to have it end in a fizzle?

So, my opinion of the Twilight series is that it's a bunch of fluff, subject to silly female hormoneness. With the exception of one character.....Edward! He is one of the BEST characters ever imagined and I'll tell you why. He is a vampire (fictional)....that's not really why, it's still coming......so he lusts after human blood. And Bella's blood is so incredibly sweet to him! Her sweetness is so strong that every time she walks in the room it's like a blow of hot air to his face. Why doesn't he bite her?? Why doesn't he just go in for the kill and satisfy his strong desire for her sweet bloody taste? Because he is a "good" vampire. He doesn't believe in killing humans to get what he wants. He thinks about his repercussions. He LOVES her.......he loves her so much he can't bare to hurt her......kill her. Even when she begs him to he won't. WOW.....what incredible self-control he has. And I find that SO INCREDIBLY SEXY in a man!!

So......do I like Twilight?.....no, not really. BUT I love Edward!! Did Bella deserve him?.....I don't really think so, but he LOVED her so much that I am so flippin' happy they are together.:) -The End!
