Fan of the Week April 5 – 11, 2010

Twilighter since? 2007

As a guy, I actually never thought I’d see my self reading the novels at all, but in 07, being dragged by my girlfriend to the Eclipse release really changed my views on the series. Waiting in line, I really saw all the different aged readers as well as guys who were actually into the books, and the thought came to mind, why not? So I borrowed the first book from my now ex-girlfriend, and thought it was entertaining, later went on to New Moon, and then I couldn’t put the novels down since. I can say 90% of people all around believe the saga is mainly focused for girls and I completely agree, but at the same time I can also say that guys could in many ways relate to it. The way I see the story is from both Jacob and Edwards perspectives, and can seriously say that almost every guy out there can relate to both of them as well. Every guy, no matter the age, has once been the best friend of a girl they fell in love with, but all they could really be is just friends, and these novels really put that perspective of us guys out there. In my honest opinion, I can really say I’m thankful for reading these books, because in some way, it sort of shows us guys. how girls might think (a mystery that will never be solved by the way lol) and at the same time shows you females, how guys can feel in certain situations. If you’d ask me whether I’m team Jacob or Edward, I’d say both, because I can I’ve had my Jacob moments in life, as well as Edward moments, and the thought of both characters mashed together, would make up the “Man” every guy out there wants to be for their special lady.

    Well stated, fan of the week!
    It was very refreshing to hear a male point of view, that wasn't sarcastic or spewing insecurity.
    I am a 47 year old mother of 4 teenagers and I also was drawn to the saga because I could relate to it on may levels. I remember being in love for the first time-you never forget it-I remember liking guys that just wanted to be friends or liked my friends better, you knowhow it is….
    I have been married for 27 years ans i see bits of Edward and Jacob in my husband.
    You see, we can all relate to this story somehow-even those who won't admit it, can relate!
