Thoughts on Edward



So my latest read has been the one that the whole nation is obsessed with. Or should I just say that I have finally met Edward.

Kind of like Madonna, Cher or Tattoo from Fantasy Island... everyone knows him by his first name. And everyone loves Edward. Giddy teenage girls, young singles, young marrieds, old marrieds-- I'd have to say that I am a bit amazed by the old-marrieds googling over this handsome young vampire.

He is a bit of a brooding hero-- I mean, face it, he sucks blood. But, as Edward's number 1 fan, my teenage daughter so adamantly challenges, "But, he is a VEGETARIAN vampire!" Could his overwhelming appeal be because he is the typical 'bad boy?' Ignore me, be mean to me, by the way, 'I love you.' Is it is amazingly sweet breath? His devastating good looks? Or could it be his sparkling skin in the sunshine?

The world may never know. But one thing is for certain. Edward, wherever you are, we love you.
