Experiencing Stephanie's World

Fine, so my inquisitiveness had finally settled in not wanting to wait next for the cat in me to eventually die of curiosity. My sister would be laughing hysterically knowing the influence she has over me to join her inexplicably obsessed twilight world of vampires. Although not as equally passionate as to how C. S. Lewis captivated me through his Chronicles of Narnia, I find that I am beginning to feel an attraction towards Stephanie Meyer’s work as I unraveled Twilight chapter by chapter.


I have to be honest that when I first saw the movie, I made a redundant effort to like how the story turned out; it was good but not that great.

The movie, Twilight

Then, being a devout fanatic of Twilight, my sister assiduously hunted for the E-books to satiate her thirst for the evidently beguiling vampires. Neither the unreliable Internet connection nor shadows of electricity failure got in the way of her quest. At the time, she had been using my mobile and I believe it was much easier for her to read if the series were installed in it.

This was not how I imagined the characters would look like
given Stephanie's detailed descriptions in her book.


In the latter when she finally returned the mobile to me, I initially read the first book of the saga out of boredom. Yet I could not find the drive to stop myself from being absorbed with Stephanie’s work. My imagination had worked its magic and the experience was nothing like the movie. The E-pages flew by each day till I was almost at the very last chapter that I realized what immense effect the author had over her readers. It would be judicious to say that even if I am not as obsessed as my sister on the matter, I had no regrets reading Twilight.

Give the book the benefit of doubt and a chance for yourself to explore what I have discovered and I guarantee that the prospect of the material is worth your time.

Until the next time, have a happy ever after from me!
