It’s that enchanting time of year when the sun, though still present, begins to relinquish its blazing reign to a gentler, golden touch. As the days grow shorter and the air crisper, a feeling of anticipation fills the atmosphere.
It’s time to binge watch the “Twilight Saga”.
Or in my case, I am due for my yearly reading.
“Twilight” is the ultimate tale of a girl who takes brooding to a whole new level and a vampire who sparkles like he’s wearing body glitter at a rave. Written by Stephenie Meyer, this book takes us to Forks, Washington, where it seems the sun only shines when it’s feeling particularly rebellious. Meet Bella Swan, the poster child for teenage clumsiness, who moves to Forks and instantly attracts the attention of the town’s resident undead heartthrob, Edward Cullen.
Edward, a vampire who has been 17 for a suspiciously long time, has the remarkable ability to read minds—except for Bella’s, which is apparently a black hole of telepathy. You’d think that would make him the ideal partner for poker night, but instead, it makes him dangerously obsessed with Bella. Cue the deep, meaningful gazes, dramatic sighs, and cryptic conversations about the perils of being a vampire in love.
But don’t worry, there’s more to this story than just an awkward teenage romance. There’s a whole vampire family with names that sound like they were generated by a random word generator.
Nothing says word generator like the name Renesmee…
There’s a whole lot of baseball, because nothing says “vampire” like America’s favorite pastime. And of course, there’s sparkling. Yes, you read that right—Edward Cullen sparkles like a disco ball when exposed to sunlight.
Conclusion
Get ready for a story that takes teenage angst to a whole new level, with enough dramatic tension to make even the most intense soap opera jealous. “Twilight” is a saga of love, vampires, and sparkles that will leave you both entertained and questioning the logic of vampire lore. It’s a paranormal romance that’s so over-the-top, it’s undeadpanably hilarious.
