It's a wonder more guys haven't thought to read these considering many a girl/woman has declared that they contain a widely accepted example of a perfect man! It could be educational for them ;)
SM has very much ruined things for every mortal male...Quote:

The guy that plays Edward is only 22 I keep telling myself that there is nothing wrong with that but I am far from 22 oh well:blush:
I could have screamed when she kissed Jacob as well. That whole thing annoyed me.
So what is your favorite Edward moment?
That is not really a topic though.
So in New Moon when Bella could hear Edwards voice - what was going on was it her imagination or something more? I thought at one stage it may have been Alice??
Yeah, but he's not Edward! He's just an actor...though 22 is perfectly legitimate for me!:DQuote:

Hmmm, good question. I certainly remember obsessing over a boy when i was 17-18, but would I die if he left me...obviously not. First love, though, that was pretty all-consuming...almost unhealthy.Quote:

I could really identify with the inner struggle they both went through (for Edward you need to have read Midnight Sun) grant this inner struggle is a little more than any of us have to deal with but still I think you see where I am coming from. First love is something that you never forget or at least it should be.
I loved their first kiss and the fact that Bella could not control herself even though she knew that she should – have we not all been there?
yes, midnight sun definitely put things in perspective, particularly the fact that they were both so drawn to each other, without any say on their part, and that they loved each other, sadly, beyond what many will ever experience. i think there is the potential for danger in getting too caught up in these books...reality pails...leaving dissatisfied individuals scratching their heads and wondering why on earth they're alone!!...haha, maybe not quite that bad.Quote:

I think my favourite Edward moment comes from Midnight Sun, when the two of them are sitting beside each other in Biology and the teacher turns the lights off. It was interesting reading about the "electricity" from Bella's POV, but so much better from Edward's because he sees that Bella is experiencing the same feelings he is, which shouldn't be happening because she is human. It's almost like he sees her feeling something like a bloodlust and that makes her even more attractive. Yes, I loved the first kiss as well and how Bella couldn't restrain herself. I thought that was one of the most realistic moments in the book. Yes, I think we've all been there.
It took me a while to decide what I thought about Bella's hearing Edward's voice. I think it was completely a delusion that she created because she had become so completely obsessed with him. She wanted him so badly that she was willing to endanger herself to have him, so her mind created that for her, almost like it was her mind's way of trying to save her. This is hard to explain haha. I mean, consciously, Bella wanted to hurt herself because she couldn't have Edward. Her subconscious knew that this was stupid, so it created what she wanted in order to save her. Obviously, that backfired.
Hmm...I think there's a huge difference between obsessing over another person, and being obsessively in love. Does that make sense? I think it's difficult to say where the "first love" line is drawn between the two. My own experiences limit how much input I have into this. To be quite honest, I don't think two teenagers are really capable of a love like this. People that young are WAY too preoccupied to be that obsessed with only each other. I know that sounds contradictory, and yes, I've known a lot of teenage couples who were seemingly obsessed with each other, but they're not really obsessed with each other, they're obsessed with the relationship, which again I think is very different. This probably makes no sense...sorry.
Mine is also Midnight Sun Edward is talking to Bella about being friends. Part of him wants her to understand how bad he is for her and part of him does not. It is the one line on the whole series that makes me laugh out loud
“I waited for her response torn in two – wishing she would finally hear and understand, thinking I might die if she did. How Melodramatic. I was turning into such a human. – Funny stuff
Charm your posts made sense to me at least and I see exactly where you are coming from.
OK hat do you think time for the next question?
Given some of the discussion in the other threads and the very valid points raised by JBI and others what is it about these novels that has touched so many people in fact let me change that to women.
Vampires got me in the door, I have to be honest about that but the love story made me want to stay. I found the novels to be very sensual without being over sexual (breaking dawn changes that somewhat). I also thought that in parts they were very funny and I often caught myself smiling (note to self be careful when reading in the lunch room) at what was written on the page.
Came for the vampires, stayed for the love story huh? Actually, that's why one of my housemates got into them. She has an admitted Vampire fetish (I really don't understand that), and she had read a lot of really trashy romance novels with vampires in them and that's why she read Twilight. I saw the film before I read the books, because I watched it with her one night. It was the obsessive romance that made me want to read the books. You could only get an impression from the film. I don't know why I was so attracted to it. I have a really obsessive personality and you don't often see an obsessive love story like this one that's not unhealthy. It was very satisfying.Quote:

Well I wouldn't say I have a fetish but vampires interest me I love the methology behind them. Blade, Underworld, Buffy, Angel, Moonlight, blood Ties the whole works. i love the Supernatural. I am a little obsessive myselfl so once I was hooked on vampire there was no going back.
I don't think we are that far gone even though it may appear to others that we are:lol:Quote:
