Bitten By Twilight

Now a days, you can hardly turn your head before you see a Twilight book in the hands of a teenage girl or hear someone gushing about Edward and Bella. You can’t go on Facebook without seeing vampire bumper stickers and groups everywhere. You turn on the TV and you see celebrities promoting the Twilight movie on the VMA’s. You can’t even go out to buy a magazine without seeing Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. So what do you do? Well, you know how the saying goes, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em!
So, what’s all the hype about? “The story is about a girl who falls in love with a vampire, but, it’s much better than it sounds!” said junior Katie Davis.
“It has a crazy wild storyline. Drama is addicting and this is drama that's not offensive to anyone. This is just something for our own imaginations a complete escape from anything real” said junior Amanda Johnson.
Twilight isn’t just another “vampire book”; it’s also a Romeo and Juliette styled love story. The writing style is interesting and many people can relate to some of the high school social problems that take place in Twilight.
Not only is it a great book, but the Twilight movie is coming out on November 21. Although the novel got major fan response, some fans have mixed feelings about what’s happening with their beloved books.
“Some books are meant to stay books...period. This one has to much inner thought to really bring to life. It’ll be interesting to see how they plan on pulling it off without getting assassinated by devoted fan girls” said junior Michelle Smith.
Many Twilight fans are upset about the book becoming a movie because it ruins the images in their head. What they don’t know is that the movie makes Twilight more accessible for people who are too busy to read a 500 page book, and would rather have it condensed into a 2 hour movie. The Twilight craze is not only sweeping the nation, but the world. Everyone has been bitten by the magic that is Stephanie Meyer’s novel and upcoming movie, Twilight.
