Good luck with the reading.
I met (Kaleb) when I was watching the DVD “Twilight in Forks : The Saga of The Real Town”. I bought it and I though how interesting would be his website. I'm an English student from Brazil and also a “twilightguy”. Lol…. =P I though that I could practice my English visiting his website often.
I have the DVD's of the saga and I bought the books recently.
I'll read Kaleb comments everytime when I finish a capter of the book to compare my opnion with his and to practice my English of course. Lol…
Kaleb's site is really good. Congrats Kaleb!

Stephenie Meyer will never surpass Harry Potter in my book! Which, by the way, is currently Bran Hambric:The Farfield Curse.

Oh, good luck my friend. My friends at school and I are some of the few thirteen year old, female Twilight haters. I couldn't get past the fifth page of the first book. I wish you the best of success.
God bless you and give you strength.

I know, anyone who had the chance or gumption to read my last post…if it's still there… is probably wonder what more could I say. Well as I had mentioned briefly this (Twilight) was the out come of the authors dreams. Now they say dreams are many things, one being the reflections of our being or our thoughts, since a persona is the summation of our thoughts. And with that being said, Twilight cause to me heavily reflect on dream interpretation. You be the critic…

Interesting, this mission you choose to take upon yourself. I must admit quite admirable… kinda wish I had thought of it myself, but of course I really wasn't into the Twilight thing when it first started nor am I now. Honestly speaking I did begin reading the series, with high expectations, quite high since it followed Harry Potter and I'm an avid literary vampire fan, being of the Anne Rice generation. However I was gravely disappointed. My disappointment lies in the very heart of the entire story and some of its construction. Lets begin… Well to say the very least Mrs. Meyer's vampire knowledge fails to match any of the vampire lore that has been taught for the past thousand or so years, which solidifies that yes she must have dreamed it all… not to take anything away from her creativity because she was quite creative as of course any writer can easily claim, it just lacks any feel of believability. But of course that's not what interested the readers… not the vampire lore… Its all about the love story, right?
Now before I start my triad… I must admit, just being honest and fair… that I didn't or better yet couldn't read all four books. I did start and finish the first two, the first I will say was…cute, but the second one… well lets just say that's where she lost me, actually somewhere in the middle of the second one, but being the psychotic reader that I am I couldn't leave it unread so I stopped at the end.
Back to the love element of this….(I'm not sure what to call it) For starters… where do we start. Okay, Edward is what hundreds of years old and Bella is how old? Exactly. So you got this guy that of course is immortal so he has a few hundred years of experience under his belt and then you have this young high school girl who has yet to experience life on her own, I'm having trouble seeing where the attraction comes in. Oh of course Edward was overly enticed by the special scent of her blood, commonly known as blood lust… Now that I think about it why are all these vampires trolling high school halls when there are plenty of college campuses that could provide a much better back drop, honestly what could they be learning that they don't already know at this high school, history…really. Continuing… so Edward is attracted to this little girl, like every vampire that comes in contact with her, because of the special scent of her blood… all the while you got poor Jacob over here who has pretty much known Bella since they were what five, making mud pies together… in love with her for her…hmm and why does she have trouble picking who the better suitor is? Maybe its because vampires control minds, one of they're regular powers is attraction by all, just maybe… Every one and I mean every one was attracted to all of the Cullens except for the Native Amer. living there, because they knew what they were and could see through what some may call “vampire magnetism”. Moving on… now that we have established who likes who, or did we? I was also quite confused about who Bella truly likes or loves, which ever verb you prefer. Of course she was quite smitten with Edward, I mean who wouldn't be, he was mysterious, he had unnaturally youthful good looks, he was brilliant in every subject at HIGH school, and of course he has oodles and oodles of money… come on people Edward was vampire.. oh and lets not forget how hard to tried not to show any interest in Bella when every other guy was drooling over her, why wouldn't he, the coolest guy in HIGH school not want her…of course he couldn't be that cool… only a vampire could. Oh lets not forget about poor Jacob just yet, like we said he loved Bella for Bella… quick side note, she really wasn't that lovable, unless of course you go for that whole depressed woe is me thing… anyway you got Jacob over here giving it the old romantic try but of course failing due to the fact at the beginning he's a regular guy with a crush against a vampire… but now that Edward is gone and he's finally working his way in his duty to his clan turns him into something like a werewolf.
( Now for another bout of honesty, I do truly admire Mrs. Meyers nontraditional way of writing the werewolves in her story, taking from the Native Amer. culture and educating readers of other traditional lores that are out there, cheers to you Mrs. Meyers.)
After Bella finally recognizes the real possibilities in Jacob, Edward causes a fuss, maybe he thought she was dead because she got over him and was in love with someone else, maybe… So now Jacob is a full fledged werewolf and Bella is really starting to dig Jacob but Edward pops up….we go through some mortal danger, bad guys die, Bella is saved.. but now shes acting confused as if she may actually have some feelings for Jacob, Edward doesn't worry, “I'm a vampire what I got to worry about” definitely not sunshine… now she's doing the back and fourth thing for a lil bit, sounds a lot like a player to me, or maybe its the mind of a young girl who has yet to experience life outside of her parents house by herself, just maybe. Fast forward past the old man and young girl sex scene made for High school girls to Bella being pregnant…(teenage pregnancy is rampant and we wonder why)…a lil further still to Jacob being in love with Bella's and Edwards unborn child, sounds like the cycle almost repeating it self all over again, except this time its an adult werewolf in love with an unborn vampire infant… One of them things that make you go..hmmm….

I know you have finished the series now, and I think they are absolutely incredible! Although, I must say, I prefer the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling!

Good luck with the reading. Have fun!!! I bribed my brother to go with me to see Twilight in the theature. At that time I had no idea what it was about, other than a vampire movie. I never liked vampire movies. But the previews I saw on TV interested me. My brother agreed to go with me because he does like vampire movies. As I was walking out of the theature after the movie was over, I was thinking , I wan't to read the book. (Someone I worked with talked about reading the Twilight books all day.) Two weeks later I bought the first three books. (I couldn't find Breaking Dawn until a cople weeks later.) I was hooked! I still am now!
