I Love the Twilight Books, But...

I've now read three of the four books in the Twilight series, and while I have enjoyed them and look forward to finishing the last book, apparently they haven't impacted my life in quite the same way as they did for reader John Henson, a 33-year old costume designer who collects original clothing from the film.

Any 'Twilight' fan can tell you that they've been written so well, that they're real. It was the second book, 'New Moon,' that made me a fan. It was chapter three, and it was the breakup of Bella and Edward; it hit me so hard emotionally that I had to cancel dinner with friends. At that point I was 29, 30 years old, and to make me cry? That's when I knew Stephenie Meyer was a brilliant writer.

Of course.
