#10 Twilight Saga Mania

The Twilight Saga books and movies have launched the careers of their young stars. It has forced the world to choose Team Edward or Team Jacob. With the success of the book series many Vampire books have been produced and have become bestsellers. But I have to ask why?

I am one of those adoring fans of the books. One day, I was sitting in my painting class and one of my classmates was reading this thick book, before class began, and ask her what she was reading? She told me it was Twilight; she later explained to me what it was about and it sounded interesting. There had been many books about Vampires and I thought to myself, "what would be different about this one?" So when I got home after school that day, I googled it and Stephanie Meyer and it peeked my interest even more. After liking what I was finding about, I went to one of the local bookstores, Paint and Pen, and bought Twilight. I started reading the book that night after studying, and before I knew it, it was 3 am and I was almost finished the book. So needless to say, I was addicted. That weekend I went back to that bookstore and bought New Moon and Eclipse. (Breaking Dawn had not been released.) In the period of 2 days i finished both books. After reading all 3 books, I was hooked and couldn't wait for the 4th installment.
