The Appeal of Twilight
Feb 26th, 2009 | By Krystal | Category: Book News, Featured Articles
NPR has a very favorable review of Twilight here! Thanks to Ana for the info 🙂
“Desire in these novels isn’t just tethered to sex; it’s free-floating and intense and it particularly emanates from our heroine, Bella, who’s gutsy and hungry for release from ordinary girly-girl stuff. Meyer dramatizes — and, for some of us, reawakens — that adolescent feeling of wanting so badly to be lifted out of the high school cafeteria line and transported into some other life that’s somehow larger, more vivid.”
Yeah, I heard it while it was playing, because my dad listens to it non-stop… I TRY (i do not ) not to tell either of my parents about anything that happens because I’m afraid that if I do, they won’t let me read it! And really, I wouldn’t be supprised if they told me never to lay eyes on it again! I say that because before I discovered Twilight -almost 4 months ago- I was a die hard Harry Potter fan, and my mom almost didn’t let me read that! Now, don’t get me wrong, I DO NOT try to hide my aditcion… just what happens in the book
yeah…my mum read the blurb too, and she had no idea what it was abot, and when she did she’s like, it’s a love story? just kisses right? and i said yes!
