As I am not generally apt to read many, if any, books from the fantasy genre, I was pushed to read the book Twilight in order to understand what my students will be going berserk over. In doing so, I found that
a) I have never been so deeply involved in a story that I was feeling what the protagonist was feeling.
b) I couldn't just stop with the first book...I read all four in six days, and they now sit beautifully in my bookcase.
c) Being up with newborn babies was not to be the last time I was wide awake at 3 a.m.
d) Meyer was able to create an entire world that felt so real that
e) I so desperately want to be a vampire.
In all seriousness, Stephenie Meyer is now my absolute favorite author--move over William Faulkner and Truman Capote. You have been replaced.
