Twillight

I have jumped on the Twillight bandwagon, I saw the film and enjoyed it and everyone is always raving about how great the books are. So I decided to borrow them from my niece. Read twilight in 4 nights, I just couldn’t put it down – really had a hold on me. Now I have started New Moon, wasn’t going to because I was tired last night when I went to bed but I couldn’t resist and had to open it up and read.

I think I may have fallen in love with Edward Cullen (the vampire for those who don’t know), not the actor in the film but the character in the book. He doesn’t look like the actor (what’s his name?) I imagine him slightly different – that’s the joy of books one part I enjoy the most is being able to visual the characters and scenes allowing them to play out in your mind as your eyes follow the words on the pages. Stephanie Meyer seems to have a real skill with her words, to me a good author can bring the words to life.

There is so much I love about the book but one quote that sticks out in my mind is the one below.

 


When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it’s not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.


Bella Swan, Twilight


What are your thoughts on the quote? Do you think it is reasonable to grieve when an unexpected dream comes to an end? Or should you not just rejoice in the memories of the good times that the dream brought? I’m with the second option. What about you? Would like to hear your thoughts.
