Reading Twilight: The Epilogue
July 12th, 2008 by Kaleb Nation
The Song for Twilight is
YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL by THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS
And thus, the votes are in: nearly 10,000 over the span of two weeks. The votes were very, very close. The number 2 song was within 50 votes of the top. In order after the top song, the next four runners-up are:
2. Time Is Running Out by Muse
3. Lion by Rebecca St. James
4. Iris by Goo Goo Dolls
5. Hero/Heroine by Boys Like Girls
Back in April, the day I first bought this site, I went to sleep literally thinking that I was wasting my time, because nobody would ever read it, much less find my commentary on the books entertaining. Before I woke up the next morning, 4,000 people had already come to prove me wrong. It is hard to describe how great it feels seeing the wonderful reception the Twilight family has extended towards me.
Since April 16th, I have received 750,000 hits, uncountable emails, a mention on Stephenie’s blog, interview and appearance requests, been named the #7 Twilight site in the world, and met countless new friends that I would never have known if not for this site. It is truly unbelievable how fast everything happened and how much everyone has supported me and my (painstakingly slow) read through Stephenie Meyer’s amazing books. I cannot thank all the readers of this site enough for all you have done for me.
I will keep my final thoughts on the book short, so as not to sully the ending with my own commentary. My final review is below, and can also be found in my library later this evening:
I am a guy, and I read Twilight to discover the reason so many girls around the world have fallen in love with the books and a vampire named Edward Cullen. Now that I have finished the first part of the saga, I think I have uncovered some of it, though I have probably only scratched the surface of all that can be taken from this wonderful novel.
With Twilight, Stephenie Meyer has told a story of the changes that can happen to a person when they love someone. At the beginning of the novel, I saw Bella as a girl who abhorred everything about Forks. But by the end, it is her home– and with her is a vampire who cares for her more than he cares for himself.
The character of Edward Cullen was one of the mysteries I originally set out to solve: this person that millions of girls worldwide have fallen in love with, just as Bella did inside of the novel. Like many guys, hearing from girls about how wonderful Edward is made me a bit hesitant to want to read an entire book that seemed, from the outside, as simply a checklist of the things that make him perfect and real guys dismally inadequate. But after I actually opened the book and studied Edward a little closer, I had to ask a few questions: Is Edward idolized so much only because he is a perfectly formed vampire? Would he be thought of so highly if he was still so attractive, and yet selfish and uncaring?
Because of this, I don’t believe girls love Edward only because he is built like a model and is a vampire. I think that the inside counts just as much as his outside appearance. There are many things that us less-than-Hellenisticly-perfect guys can take from the book by watching Edward: the respect he shows towards women, the selflessness of his actions, the level of polite elegance he maintains, the maturity of his judgment, among many others. These are all things that real guys can actually learn from him– and they don’t have to be vampires to do it, either.
The story in Twilight is hopeful and bittersweet in the same breath, which is as close to real life as a description can come. It is a story of love, but most of all it is a story of how true love can break down the strongest of barriers: even barriers that can stand between a human and a vampire.
I’m hoping that now as I move through the rest of the series all of you will continue to read my blogs, and that I can continue to make you laugh with my attempts at wit. I have some very big plans for interesting stuff coming up, and I hope you can stick around to see them unfold. Now…on to New Moon!
(Added 11:59 AM): NOTE: I WILL BE STAYING AT THIS SITE FOR THE REST OF THE TWILIGHT SAGA. There will be no move to newmoonguy.com or anything. However, look forward to some design changes

Congrats on finishing the book. As always, love your blog.

Congrats on finishing Twilight! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on New Moon.
Also, I love that Your Guardian Angel won! They were all very good choices though.
July 12th, 2008 at 12:19 am
Yay! You finished! I just read the first book myself a few days ago myself and I am rereading it. Your site was one of the things that convinced me to read the books. (Weird a girl having to be convinced - a reader at that!).
But I’m glad I was and also glad you enjoyed it as much as most of the female population has. XD
July 12th, 2008 at 12:22 am
WHOO HOO! *throws confetti* Now the fun begins! But I feel as if I should give you a cupcake or something first. Don’t have any cupcakes on me, so… sorry. Like you said- “On to New Moon!”
July 12th, 2008 at 12:27 am
Yay! I’m so happy you’re done with Twilight (although reading it a little bit faster wouldn’t have been so bad >>)
I love what you have to say, and I DO think you’re witty, so I can’t wait to read what you have to say next :]
**I think you’re an inspiration to all the guys out there, hopefully this ‘little’ project of yours will inspire more guys to check out this phenominal book.**
July 12th, 2008 at 12:29 am
YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!! You finished it!!! *happy dance* …now when are you going to start new moon??? =D
Your thoughts on the book are brilliant and totally right as always. I can’t wait to see what you think of the other books!
July 12th, 2008 at 12:31 am
Yay! You finished Twilight!
Aww…my hope was for Lion. But I love Your Guardian Angel.
I guess Lion is for the overall series. He is always her angel…
Can’t wait for New Moon!
July 12th, 2008 at 12:33 am
Wooooo! I’m so glad you’ve finished it! I’ve really enjoyed reading all the posts you’ve made, you’ve made me laugh each and every time. Your thoughts on the book are spot on as always
Cannot wait for New Moon!!
You’re a legend!
July 12th, 2008 at 12:35 am
Beautifully written thoughts as always, Kaleb….though I did want to know what your thoughts on the actual epilouge to Twilight were.=] Of course, we will all want to hear (or read?) your thoughts on New Moon! Though I shudder to think how long you will take to read it– it normally takes people a longer time to read New Moon than the other books. (I hope you know I’m just playing with you about the taking a long time to read thing….it’s ok lol) Anyway, great song choice! I think most of us will be happy with it. =]]] Congrats on finishing the book!!
July 12th, 2008 at 12:38 am
Ok, I’ve never posted before, but I’ve read all you thoughts on everything and love you out look on the book. If only all guys could get why we love Edward so much like you do. My husband looks at me like I’m crazy if I even mention him reading the books so I’m glad to see a guy taking the incentive.
One thing about this post though, I would of liked to heard/seen what you thought of the prom and stuff. I love your commentary on everything that happens in the chapters and would of liked to of gotten it for this too.
July 12th, 2008 at 12:44 am
omg…i am luving ur reponse to the whole book!! yay!! u finally finsihed!!!! when r u going to start new moon?nonetheless, eclipse??
i am slighty disapointed, hat ur guardian angel won, i had my hopes high for time is runing out and lion…50 more sitnking vote lol!!
Congratulations Kaleb!!
July 12th, 2008 at 12:50 am
Kaleb, all I can say is WOW, that was beautiful. I love reading your blogs, they are so brilliant and entertaining. My favorite line that just truly stunned me was, “The story in Twilight is hopeful and bittersweet in the same breath,” You are amazing!!!!! You have totally cracked the code. At least to me you have. I could care less if a guy looked like a male model or he if he was miraculously a vampire. I care most about the way he would treat me and the others around him. You said it just right. If a guy is a sincere gentlemen then he will know just how to steal my heart. So congratulations Kaleb and I am SO EXCITED to see what you have to say about New Moon! YOUR THE BEST!!!!
July 12th, 2008 at 12:53 am
Congrats on getting through the entire book Kaleb! We are so glad you enjoyed it! Now you get to move on to New Moon! WEEEEEE!!!!!! Oh the fun times that await you hahaha. I’m sad that Time Is Running Out did not get first place, but so thankful it made second. Thank you for the poll and enjoy the rest of the Twilight Saga!!!
July 12th, 2008 at 12:57 am
It’s about time! Now you thought Twilight was deep and complex…wait till you finish the rest of the books. =]
July 12th, 2008 at 12:57 am
After reading your thoughts on the book, all I can say is WOW!! You are an amazing writer, and it truly shows even in these blogs. I really enjoyed reading your thoughts on the book, and will definitely be passing this on to several male friends to attempt to once again convince them to read the books. I can’t wait to read your thoughts on the remaining books in the Twilight Saga!
July 12th, 2008 at 12:57 am
“IRIS” by Goo Goo Dolls was more befitting but whatever…
CONGRATULATIONS on completing the book!
yes! New Moon bought me to dote upon Jacob.. you’ll see what i mean…
and the songs have been just as good as the blags accompanying them. i think i have a song in mind for every NM chapter…
July 12th, 2008 at 12:58 am
Im very happy im sneaking on the computer to read this. Im so glad that you’ve read Twilight and are moving on to New Moon. Your review is really what Twilight is all about, I had little tears in my eyes when I read it. You understand everything so well it amazes me, for a guy your really awesome (to the max).
July 12th, 2008 at 12:59 am
Kaleb, I want to thank you. It was so refreshing to hear an unbaised opinion (and on top of that… a male perspective!) on Twilight. I enjoyed your commentary. I am so glad that you took the time out of your busy schedule to write about the chapters, and to remind us that Twilight is not ALL about the precious Edward, that it is, simply put, a good book that we can all enjoy. Thank you for proving we can erase those gender boundaries. I sincerely hope you have as good of an experience with the rest of the saga.
July 12th, 2008 at 1:03 am
Yes I know what I’m going to say is unnecessay and uncalled for (that’s why my name is anonymous, but….)
FIRST IS THE WORST, SECOND IS THE BEST!!!! hahaha.
July 12th, 2008 at 1:16 am
you truly get what this book is about.
and you write it so beautifully.
you truly are a wonderful guy and an amazing writer.and funny.
can’t wait to see what you say about new moon. i know youll love it.
July 12th, 2008 at 1:16 am
I’ve enjoyed hearing all about your journey through Twilight and can’t wait for you to start New Moon!
July 12th, 2008 at 1:17 am
YAYY!!!! finally you finished!!!
and now you get to read New Moon!!! oh. and by the way. UR HILARIOUS. so congrats! and i will definitely continue to read your blogs!
July 12th, 2008 at 1:19 am
Kaleb, Thank you for your insight into the Twilight series, and your abundant humor. I enjoy reading your site almost every day. I am looking forward to traveling through the rest of the books with you. You help us to enjoy the books again in a new way. So, what is your commentary on the Epilogue?
July 12th, 2008 at 1:20 am
I wonder if you’ll still think that Edward’s judgement is mature in New Moon?…… >.< GOOD LUCK BUDDY!!!
July 12th, 2008 at 1:24 am
Hi people: there is a reason I didn’t comment much on the Epilogue itself. To me, the epilogue was very much the bridge between Twilight and New Moon. Though it did wrap up the story, I didn’t want to give a commentary on the epilogue as well as the end of the book: it would seem like I’m repeating myself
Thanks everyone for all the great comments too! See, I do actually stay up and read the first ones sometimes
July 12th, 2008 at 1:25 am
Kaleb, that was perfect. Thank you for capturing the essence of Twilight and why it is so loved just right.

and i love your summed up thoughts on twilight. its directly elegant. i love it.
July 12th, 2008 at 1:35 am
WAIT kALEB!!!
What song did YOU want to win???
July 12th, 2008 at 1:50 am
New Moon… You’ll have to read it to see, but I think it’s the best book. It elicited such an emotional response. For me, the more I love the book and the characters, the more I feel for them, the better the book. Can’t wait to see what you think.
July 12th, 2008 at 2:05 am
YES!!! congrats Kaleb!!! well now you’re in it for the long haul. good luck!
July 12th, 2008 at 2:07 am
I absolutely adore the picture.
*staying tuned*
July 12th, 2008 at 2:13 am
Congratulations!! (:
I was smiling to myself while reading your final review…
Once again, congrats! Can’t wait for you to start New Moon.
July 12th, 2008 at 2:25 am
Congrats on finishing!
Not painful at all, right?
I’m just waiting to see what you think of New Moon and Eclipse. Twilight is my favorite, but all the rough stuff happens in the other two. I’m really looking foward to your reviews on the rest :]]
July 12th, 2008 at 2:51 am
Congratulations!
Reading your blogs always manage to make me smile! I can’t wait til you read New Moon :)!
July 12th, 2008 at 2:51 am
Do you have a girlfriend???
Honestly, you are my HERO!!!
If only other guys could see this- the reason why us girls all love Edward Cullen. Maybe then they would change their ways…
Congratulations on finishing. I can’t wait to read about your commentary on Jacob Black…
July 12th, 2008 at 2:53 am
A very moving rendering of your journey.
Heed Stephenie Meyer’s warning. Don’t blow off the middle of New Moon in a rush to the end. Too much of the “whole” story happens there.
July 12th, 2008 at 3:14 am
Congrats on finishing!!
July 12th, 2008 at 4:31 am
I must admit that I got a bit teary-eyed reading your review.
You write with your heart and are not afraid to tell us what you truly feel about our beloved books and its characters.
I cannot wait to hear what you have to say on New Moon as well as the rest of the series.
Good luck and happy reading!
July 12th, 2008 at 4:37 am
NEW MOON! YAY!
Thats my favorite, can’t wait to hear your thoughts.
“Your Guardian Angel” is very fitting for Twilight. ^_^
July 12th, 2008 at 4:44 am
Yeah, painstakingly slow was right. But that’s ok, I forgive you.
YYYAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You finally finished!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations!!!!!
Can’t wait to see how you like New Moon.
July 12th, 2008 at 4:58 am
i am very proud of you Kaleb! I can’t wait to read what you think of the next books;) CONGRATULATIONS!!!
July 12th, 2008 at 6:21 am
KALEB FTW!
I’m so glad you let us go with you on your journey through Twilight…and now the other books! (Oh, what is in store for you! I can’t wait!) You truly understand the essence of Twilight, Edward and Bella…why they affect us as they do.
Gratz on your personal success through all this too! I hope you, this project and your other projects continue to flourish!
Oh, and don’t be silly…hoping we will stick around!! Why would we leave you now?!?! Your insightful comments, wit and entertaining ways have made us fans of YOU too!!
July 12th, 2008 at 6:22 am
Yay! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!Now onto New Moon!
July 12th, 2008 at 6:45 am
I couldn’t stay up late to read your final post on Twilight, because I had to get up early for a softball tourney. Had to read this before I left, though! I agree; it’s better to not comment to much on the epilogue. It’s the guidance to the next book - you can’t say much about it and not repeat yourself, or predict what will happen in the next book. I am so glad Your Guardian Angel won! I voted for it 3 times. Now, Kaleb, would you kindly tell us which song YOU wanted to win?!?
July 12th, 2008 at 7:09 am
oh thank you thank you thank you!! i am so glad that you finished twilight. your review actually brought tears to my eyes. on to new moon!
July 12th, 2008 at 7:43 am
Hi Kaleb.
I know I haven’t commented much during your reading of Twilight, but I wanted to say that I’ve enjoyed it immensely and am looking forward to reading your thoughts on New Moon. I like that you take the time to really *think* about what you’ve read and make intelligent, insightful commentary on it. This has become one of my favorite blogs, and I always look forward to new posts from you.
Good luck with the rest of the saga!
July 12th, 2008 at 8:02 am
Aw, Kaleb. I’m soooo happy you finished Twilight. yay! And I’m even more excited that you plan on reading the rest of the saga. Congrats!!!!
July 12th, 2008 at 8:03 am
Bravo, Kaleb! Bravo!
It was a beautifully written conclusion to your take on the first book, and now, as you said it, on to New Moon!
*throws confetti and tissueboxes at Kaleb*
Seriously, Kaleb, this shows that there is some hope for men everywhere–it shows that they CAN understand why we like Edward and fictional men more than the ones in our lives. People today just DONT GET IT!
Thankfully, you do, and we appreciate it! Insightful commentary, and HILARIOUS wit, are some of your best qualities and I love seeing updates on your site.
*throws more confetti and tissue boxes*
On to New Moon!
July 12th, 2008 at 8:05 am
WOW you so get!!!I cant wait to read what you think after page 73 of new moon!!! Yes I went and got my copy and found the exact page!!!
July 12th, 2008 at 8:17 am
WOOT WOOT!!! You finished it! I can’t believe it! My eyes are bleeeeeeding…! Eheh, just kidding.
Seriously, I’m super dupper happy you finished it! Like it was me!
It just means you’re part of the Twilight family 
I can’t wait for New Moon! And I have a feeling you won’t be able to read ONLY chapter one… You have been warned.
WE LOVE YOU KALEB!
July 12th, 2008 at 8:25 am
Congrats Kaleb!
Finally, it’s great to know a guy who have read and shared his thoughts of Twilight to everyone.
Now, off to New Moon!
PS. Brace yourself for this book though. Many more surprises to come!
July 12th, 2008 at 8:29 am
Congrats Kaleb !!! You finished Twilight and you survived! Now…onto New Moon! But personally, none of the other books top Twilight
July 12th, 2008 at 8:41 am
We can’t but read your comments on New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, so don’t worry
And you figured out, what we girls love about Edward exactly!
You are really awesome and I can’t wait for you reading the other books
July 12th, 2008 at 8:47 am
Oh my gosh congrats Kaleb on finishing the best book in the history of the universe! i give you a lot of credit for sticking to it and even more so for finding time to comment on each chapter. you’re an amazing writer and i think you’re hilarious! i cannot wait to hear your thoughts on the most complex book in the series, New Moon.there are a lot of surprises in this book and certainly a lot of emotion…enjoy! i can’t wait to hear your thoughts on an old reamerging character…Keep it UP Kaleb!Good Luck on the rest of the series, i’ll be reading too!
July 12th, 2008 at 8:54 am
Thank you for starting this brilliant blog. I am awed at your insight. Indeed, guys can learn a lot from Edward’s gentlemanly ways. Looking forward to your thoughts on New Moon.
July 12th, 2008 at 9:05 am
HAAALLELUJAAAAAH! you finished!
i admire your patience, Kaleb. I would have torn through the book at breakneck speed and then come back to analyze it.
thumbs up, man!
July 12th, 2008 at 9:21 am
Your final thoughts of Twilight were nicely put together! You’re a GREAT writer!
July 12th, 2008 at 9:24 am
that was a great way to look at the book! kaleb ur amazing! cant wait for u to read the rest of the books, and keep blogging them here as u go along! There awome to read!
July 12th, 2008 at 9:29 am
WHOO-HOO FOR KALEB! Im glad your finally finished and I love the way your final thoughts are written. Can’t wait till you read New Moon but until then *starting rally of hih-hip-horrays* congrats on finishing!
July 12th, 2008 at 9:31 am
Yay!!!! I love you and you blog, Kaleb! Congrats on finally finishing Twilight!
July 12th, 2008 at 9:39 am
He Finished! Congrats Kaleb!!! I’m SO excited to hear your thoughts on New Moon!
July 12th, 2008 at 9:44 am
Yay!!!! You finished! I have been reading this since you were on chapter 2, and have enjoyed every minute of it! I can’t wait to read your take on New Moon!
July 12th, 2008 at 9:55 am
So my song didn’t win, but it made it in the top 5, and my very close second favorite won, so woo hoo! Anywho, congrats on FINALLY making it through Twilight, and of course you are such a beloved part of the Twilight universe! You did, afterall, make it officially okay for guys to read Twilight. Good work! Plus, you’re hysterical, which is always a plus. And us Twilighters, if you hadn’t already noticed, are a bit crazy and we will comment in the masses on anything Twilight related, even more so if it is good. So, excellent job with Twilight, and get cracking on New Moon. And please, I beg you, at a somewhat faster pace! Love ya, Kaleb, and I can’t wait to hear what you think about Jacob… HA!
July 12th, 2008 at 9:59 am
It’s been such a pleasure reading your blogs Kaleb. You have to be the coolest Twilight Guy out there! Can’t wait for you to start Newmoon and then on to Eclipse!!
July 12th, 2008 at 10:05 am
Yes! Woohoo!
I honestly love the song myself, and I’m glad you’re done with the book, now on to New Moon!
July 12th, 2008 at 10:12 am
Congradulations! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts after the first 3 chapters in New Moon
July 12th, 2008 at 10:23 am
Woah! Kaleb, fantastic!Honestly, it is so great to see a guy read a book just to figure out why girls like another guy, although come to think of it, it is great to see a guy read a book in general (Isn’t it sad that I say that?). I just wanted to mention, you figured out why we love Edward perfectly (or atleast why I do). I don’t care what he looks like, it is everthing else about him, although it helps that he isn’t hideous. =D I will see you when you start up New Moon.
July 12th, 2008 at 10:25 am
Congrats on finishing!
I can’t wait till you start reading New Moon.
July 12th, 2008 at 10:29 am
Congrats Kaleb on finishing Twilight. I, as well as many others, look forward to your thoughts on New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. I really think you will enjoy them. One word of advice, you might have to read New Moon twice to completely enjoy it. I know a lot of ppl hated it at first (myself included) and rushed through it as fast as humanly possible (I won’t say why because I refuse to spoil it for you), but when we all sat down and read it again we ended up appreciating it for the wonderful story it truly is. ^.^
That being said, I look forward to your reviews and commentary of the other 3 books and I really enjoyed your review of the epilogue of Twilight. You are probably one of the only guys in the world to finally understand what the obsession is with Edward. While true that his looks don’t hurt none, that isn’t really why most females are in love with him. I know women ranging from the ages of 11 to 67 that adore Edward because of how caring, understanding, sweet, loving, unselfish, and just plain wonderful he is. His looks are just an added bonus (especially since until the Movie and Rob Pattinson most of us made up our own ideals of what he looked like in our heads). Now I, myself, am married and I absolutely love my husband, but I would be lying if I said that I don’t drive him crazy everyday with Edward. lol. He is trying to be a mini-Kaleb (hehe) and is going to be reading the books (or so he says) so he might understand someday, though knowing him he still won’t get it. Perhaps I should try to get him to your site (maybe pull it up on his comp screen while he’s in the rr or something and leave it there for him to look at) so he might stand a chance at comprehending it someday. lol.
Anyways, Congrats again and thank you. It’s men like you that give women a reason to hope that someday our own boyfriends/husbands might grow up and have a bigger range of emotions (and vocabulary). But shhhh, don’t tell anyone I said that. >.> LMAO.
July 12th, 2008 at 10:34 am
YAY! YOU FINISHED! Thanks so much for giving us your thoughts on the book. It’s really cool that you did this, instead of just dismissing the book like so many other guys. I can’t wait for what you have to say about the rest of the books in the series! It makes me so happy that you actually enjoyed the book, and took the time to write your thoughts on the chapters. Kudos to you!
July 12th, 2008 at 10:52 am
Kaleb, I will be with you as you continue your journey through Stephenie Meyer’s world of vampires. It feels like it was just yesterday when you first bought the site and me coming by every day to see if you have any updates. Lo and behold it’s 3 and a half months later and here we are. You’re about to start New Moon and I can’t wait til you do.
p.s. I can’t wait til your book comes out.
July 12th, 2008 at 10:54 am
Good to see a guy that finally understood why us, girls/women LOVE this book!
good music choice;)
but what did you think about the last part of twilight?:s
when are you going to start with new moon?
July 12th, 2008 at 10:55 am
Oh Kaleb! I am so happy you finished. I can’t wait for you to start reading New Moon. I have really enjoyed reading what you have to say and I am looking forward to reading your own novel. You are someone who can read into and understand a novel I love, and therefore, I am sure you can also create a novel I could love! Keep it up!
July 12th, 2008 at 10:57 am
Congratulations on finishing Twilight!! Whoo! You did a wonderful job describing everything you felt while reading each chapter. It was amazing! =D
I just finished reading Eclipse last night! Now, I must wait hungrily for Breaking Dawn. Eck. I hate waiting.
I am also glad that Your Guardian Angel won! That was my top choice because the lyrics fit Twilight so perfectly. And the 2 other songs I voted for was in the top 5 too. Yay
July 12th, 2008 at 10:57 am
PS. I love the little pic of you fawning over the book at the bottom of your post.
July 12th, 2008 at 11:01 am
Kaleb,
Um, you’re awesome. I can’t believe that we finally got here. I agree with everyone else. Do not rush through New Moon, although I don’t think that there is any danger in that.
I can’t wait for Bran Hambric to come out. I think I’m just as excited to read it as I am Breaking Dawn.
Ha ha, I would love to have an advanced copy.
July 12th, 2008 at 11:04 am
Congratulations :]
July 12th, 2008 at 11:06 am
YAY KALEB…you finished reading twilight!!!!…good for you dude…good for you. Thanx so much for all your commentary on the chapters it was hilarious and very insightful…you bloody freakin rule dude…
rock on!!!
July 12th, 2008 at 11:25 am

I feel like crying cuz all of your thoughts on twilight(except the funny ones) are beautiful…. I’ll save the crying for rereading New Moon.
July 12th, 2008 at 11:51 am
Hey kaleb,
I just came across ur site n I’ve spent last night reading everything on ur sight. From chapter 1 through ur last comment about the book. Congrats about finishing. I can’t wait till you start New Moon.
I look forward to following you down the road of the Twilight Saga. I can’t wait to read your reactions! Keep going Kaleb, you’ve come so far.
July 12th, 2008 at 12:06 pm
Congratulations! I’m glad some men can make sense of why we love Edward, and can actually be positive about him instead of being cruel about it. Is it wrong to get teary eyed because of this? xD Get New Moon soon. You’ll love it. Congrats again!
July 12th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
Yeeeeeih! You did it!
congrats you finish the book!
And i love the song for the book is really beautiful!
July 12th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
I wish more guys were like you. You’re not afraid to read a romance like Twilight and then tell us why we love Edward. You’re amazing, Kaleb! You hit the nail on the head with your little wrap up of Twilight. Great job. On to New Moon!
July 12th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
I came here on a whim when the Lexicon told us you had reached Chapter 14. I liked that, and (of course) I HAD TO KNOW what you thought of 13. Then I went back and read all of your chapter posts up to that point. I have been a loyal fan ever since. I love your final thoughts on the story, Edward, and Bella, and I can’t wait to read what you think of New Moon.
Kaleb, you rock!
July 12th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
That was very well written. And I am also very happy “Your Guardian Angel” won! Finnally something i vote for wins. I am looking foward for your views on New Moon. But i will give you one tiny bit of adivce. Don’t throw the book against a wall. Trust me on this and you’ll find out why.
July 12th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
Phew, for a moment, I thought you were going to tell us that you were going to say goodbye and close downt the sight.
You have done a wonderful job and I want to thank you for taking time out of your incredibly packed schedule to write this blog. Seriously I do not know when you sleep!
That said, now that you are on summer break, I hope you can move through NM faster–for your sake as well as ours. As a TwiMom, I look forward to your humor and insight as it lets me find new ways to appreciate and enjoy the books that I have re-read uncountable times since I picked them up in May.
I too look forward to your book’s release. You are a wonderful writer who can be really funny (some of your posts made me laugh so hard I cried!)
You given us all something to look forward to almost every day and we support you.
You are truly Edwardian!
July 12th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Congrats Kaleb! You are amazing!! I cant wait untill you read New Moon, You’re in for a big suprize. New Moon is the reason why most of the fandom is divided in half ((or thirds…. Lol))
July 12th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Your posts are always funny and interesting. I do think you are a very good writer, Kaleb. Wish you the best luck with your career, given that you already have anything else that needs to succeed.
Also, my compliments for this blog
July 12th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
Congratulations! Thank you for really understanding and getting why we fangirls love the series (and Edward), and for not being afraid to admit that you read and like a book classified as “teen vampire romance.”
Most guys wouldn’t, unfortunitaly.
Now, on to New Moon! Just try not to freak out and throw the book out the window or something when you read it. Becasue book violence is wrong.
I’ll be waiting to see which ’side’ you’ll pick when you’re reading it. Because everyone who reads it seems to pick a side, but nevermind.
And I love the song choice! I’m glad one of the ones I liked won!
haha, someone asked if you have a girlfriend. She’s a very lucky girl, because you can discuss Twilight together and she’ll be able to say crazy Edward loving stuff with getting odd looks from you, lol
okay, long comment over.
July 12th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
Kaleb, i absolutly love your websites, blogs, videos, and your brilliant and funny insight :]] However, I am disappointed at the readers votes for Your Guardian Angel for “The Twilight Song”. Don’t get me wrong, I love RJA and this song, but I always interpreted this song as a guy who would do absoulutly anything for this girl he loves, but the girl does not return his feelings. This, to me, does not decribe Twilight. I voted for, and still think, that Lion is the perfect song for Twilight; not only does it have the Lion imagery as decribed in the book, but in my opinion truly captures how Bella feels for Edward. She’s drawn to his beauty and mystery and his “gentleness melts” her. The song also talks about the lion being an angel, which Bella refers to Edward as when he saves her from James. I just think this song is a more accurate decription of Twilight.
But regardless, your thoughts on the book are right on :]] You never cease to make my day and I’m really looking forward to your thoughts on New Moon!
July 12th, 2008 at 2:21 pm
You have absorbed so much from TWILIGHT…Wait ’til you read NEW MOON…get out the tissues!!!
July 12th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Great review Kaleb. Thanks for the laughs, keep it up! (I don’t know that song, but now that I listen to it, it’s a great choice!)
July 12th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
That was a very nice review! =)
but i am wondering, have you already read the others? i only ask because i fear the series will be ruined for you since you seem to be so immersed into this world & you haven’t read the others yet. & when Breaking Dawn comes out, if you don’t read it right away, there’s a good chance it’ll get spoiled for you.
i hope that doesn’t happen to you!
anyway, yay for more!
July 12th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
You’ve got a good head on your shoulders, Kaleb.
How soon (or late) should we expect you to post about New Moon?
And what song did you want to win??
Congratulations on finishing Twilight
July 12th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
Whoooo! congrats! can’t wait for you to start New Moon!
July 12th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
Yay!!!!! Congradulations!
I can’t wait for you to read New Moon and the rest of the series. Your opinions on the books are always so fun to read. They’re really insightfull and also at the same time SO funny!
Congrats again!
July 12th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
congrats!
you totally got the point in twilight. I loved your opinion about the whole book. I will be waiting for your blog about new moon!
July 12th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
YAY.
You’ve finished!
I can’t wait until you begin New Moon. I hope it’s soon, because I’ll need my fix of Twilight Guy insight.
Happy reading.
:]
July 12th, 2008 at 4:02 pm

You are the best! Enjoy New Moon!
July 12th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
It all began on April 16, 2008: “The Start of a Journey”. And what a journey it has been! Hey Kaleb, my name is Jessie and I have been following you along this path since day one. Though I was never one to comment at all, I really did enjoy this adventure of yours. Your witty commentary, jokes, images, and videos are all brilliant! I just want to say congratulations for completing Twilight! You truly are amazing Twilight Guy. I look forward to your next journey into New Moon.
July 12th, 2008 at 4:43 pm

July 12th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
Hurray!!!! *<=)~
You did it! (finally…) I’m glad to see some humans of the opposite gender responding so positively to one of the greatest books of all time!
Can’t wait to read your account of the rest of the series!
July 12th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
I have only a slight problem with Your Guardian Angel being the top song, but Time Is Running Out for the second????-maybe for New Moon but what is running out of time in Twilight…????-you cna’t really answer that can you, Bella’s life?-well he’s set on not changing her, the time they have together?-maybe, but thats not what the book is about, the book is about Bella and Edward falling totally in love with each other what does time running out have to do with that????-i am insanely dissssssappppointed in the voting!!!!
July 12th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
Congrats on finishing Twilight and can’t wait to read your funny and insightful take on New Moon! “Your Guardian Angel” is a great song for Twilight. It’s like Edward singing his love for Bella. Good thing I voted for it:)
July 12th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
Squee!!! So happy that you’ve finished! I’ve followed your posts for most of the time it’s been up! I am soo getting your book when it comes out.
July 12th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
YAY!!! I’m SOO glad you finished it!! and want to keep reading!! You picked a great fandom to enter Kaleb, Twilight fans are the most dedicated out there so we will keep reading until you stop posting!! <3
July 12th, 2008 at 6:48 pm

July 12th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
awww…I love Your Guardian Angel..really good song..but I agree with one of the other comments that Time is Running Out is not really appropriate for Twilight. And OMG you finished the book!..We should PARTY!…haha, I saw your comment over at Stephenie’s MySpace for the Breaking Dawn Quote..and I beat you, I was the first comment.hehehe.
July 12th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
Hey Kaleb,
You scared me for a second there! It seemed like you were saying goodbye. What a relief that you’re staying with us!
I look forward to your posts as they never fail to amuse and provide thought provoking reflections.
Once again you hit the nail on the head so to speak. I wouldn’t care if a guy had a third eye and webbed feet if he were as sincere, loving and attentive as Edward, WOW!
I can’t wait to see your thoughts on New Moon. It’s still hard for me to read it. So I’m very interested to know what you think.
I’ve taken to telling everyone about your website (right after I tell them about TwilightMOMs:D)
Keep up the good work!
Kasandra
July 12th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
I really hope you finish the other two before Breaking Dawn comes around. Reading your twilight blogs was a really fun experience for me and as for some other people too. I can’t wait till you start on New Moon. (:
Woo, Time is Running Out came in second! (:
July 12th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
congrats.
i love reading your opinions and evaluations.
thank you for reading twilight.
haha.
July 12th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
You made some design changes!!! Hehehe… awesome! Will there be any more changes? : )
I’m so excited for you to start New Moon!
July 12th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
Congratulations Kaleb!!!
Your wonderful and a great tribute to the Twilight Community.
Now…ON TO NEW MOON!!!
