I am an extemely avid book reader. I love science fiction, fantasy and romance and thought I had read it "all", really. I have to admit that I have been stunned by the Twilight Saga! I don't think that I can adequately tell you what an impact these stories have had on me and my reading list. How can anything be more purely romantic, tender, sensual...? How could anything be more unique, original...? I have to admit falling inlove with all the characters and waiting with great anticipation for the next installment--in fact, ANYTHING by such a fresh and unique voice as Stehenie's! I wish to thank her for sharing her dreams with us and I am forced to express my astonishment that anyone could find this story anything less than beautiful! In case anyone wonders: I am a 34 year old Science teacher with an extremely active imagination! :-) Thank you again, Stephenie!
