It all began in the senior (II) year of college when I heard people around me discussing about this new book with a beautiful cover-page where I saw a pair of pale hands holding a blood-red coloured apple in them. I had no clue as to what it was all about and I didn't bother to ask them either. As it is I was so lost in my own small world.
But one odd day, when I saw a dear friend (supposedly a people’s person who would never miss the fun happening around) stuck to a corner of the classroom, so immersed in the same book, I couldn't stop myself from asking her what the book named TWILIGHT was all about and why was it actually driving people crazy around me.
She gave me a brief introduction to this unusual world of vampires and werewolves, and there was no looking back since then. I arranged for a book immediately and I got so involved that I was unable to keep a track of things around.
I had been so intimidated with every single detail mentioned by Stephenie Meyer that I couldn’t stop bragging about it all the time. I was in love with Edward!!! It felt like someone was finally here who had struck the right chord and the music could not stop me from dancing my way to glory. Not only was the characterization of Edward that made my heart skip a beat, but all the other characters (of course I could relate so well to Bella and the others had been described so amazingly), the minutest details about their expressions, the clothes they wore, the places they resided in, the dialogues, every bit of it made me play the entire movie in front of my eyes a hundred times. And I have to mention, that by the time I completed with the first book of the series, the movie had already been out. So it added on to my own imagination and everything was just so perfect.
The moment I was done with Twilight I had my hands on New Moon (You just can’t get enough of them. The more you read, the more it drags you towards the madness and love for it). It took me no time to complete NM and finish watching the movie simultaneously. The plot was so intriguing but it had broken my heart at first and I’d been in tears throughout the time while reading. Eventually I knew what was coming. There had to be a different end to this.
I made it a point to discuss each and every chapter with my friends who were already done reading the series or were still hooked on to it. It gave me a greater insight into every tiny bit of a sequence and love for knowing more grew with it.
Though, starting with Eclipse had been a little difficult for me at first because there was so much happening around, that I couldn’t manage to continue. At last, I completed Eclipse last month and the feeling couldn’t have been better. Though the secrets about the last two books were already kind of revealed by some stupid impatient friends of mine :P but nevertheless, I have no regrets. Finally nowadays, I’m getting over with Breaking Dawn (reading the last few chapters from Book 3 – Bella’s part) and waiting for Eclipse to release in
In the end, I would just like to say that the series had been so addictive that I’m sure everyone would agree with me, that you just can’t keep yourself from it. The strong plots in the entire series have glued the readers to the books. It has made us laugh, cry, smile, get angry and most of all, fall in LOVE.
