“And so the lion fell in love with the lamb.”
Twilight’s most-quoted line is almost more recognizable than Dickens’s, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”
The Twilight series portrays frail but headstrong (albeit socially stupid) Bella Swan and her sparkly vampire boyfriend Edward Cullen.
Such a plot has made many girls, and possibly a few guys, swoon and hit the floor.
Ginger Buchanan is one of them. After reviving, the 19-year-old UNC Asheville student said, “I love Twilight. It’s entertaining because it doesn’t have to be.”
The history, psychology and education student said the best part about it is the characters’ relationships.
“They’re so good to read and they give you completely unrealistic ideas about life. It’s great,” the Hayesville native said.
Although scarily true for some over-obsessed individuals, the stories can rejuvenate long-dormant feelings of optimism in a dismal and pathetic young-adult world.
With mundane assignments and bizarre friends, anybody feeling the least bit socially ostracized may find comfort in these tweeny books.
Almost better than chocolate, and that is a very heavy almost, they do not even have calories.
But the books provide more than just comfort. They are entertaining, in the sense that maybe it is possible for the unknown to exist in the neighborhood.
It captures the world in an entirely new perspective, and allows readers to interpret different scenarios with new imagination.
Good vampires, protecting the townspeople, makes a human-interest story at its very best, complete with love triangles, coming-of-age story and family drama.
Buchanan votes Team Edward in the books.
Although a gentleman with romantic ideals, Edward Cullen is not perfect. It is justifiable to resist the idea of a boy scaling the window and watching you sleep.
On the other hand, does anybody Facebook creep? How about do a drive-by and attempt to run into someone?
When it comes to love, nobody does the right thing.
However, the intentions are good and that is where the fascination is.
There is just something so appealing about an imperfect romance.
