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.

I love all of the Twilight books and Stephanie Meyer is like my goddess! The characters are so real to me and I feel like I am part of the stories. I have read all the books exactly 10 times and I have also been to Forks, Wa. which I have a scrapbook of about 200 pictures from! I also have a huge shelf dedicated to the Twilight Saga full of Twilight souvenirs like the population sign from Forks, the apple from the Twilight cover, Bella’s charm bracelet, Twilight Saga stickers and pins, the flower on the New Moon cover, magazines that have anything to do with the Twilight Saga: like the People Twilight Special Edition, even the Twilight and New Moon Sweethearts! I saw Twilight out in theaters twice and I saw New Moon when it first came out in theaters November 20th at midnight! I also have a Twilight Saga binder I made, filled with quotes, summaries of the books, pictures, the cast from the movies, and random notes I’ve taken every time I have read the books. I probably have driven my whole family insane, because I’m always reciting lines from the books and the movies! I am so excited for New Moon to come out on DVD March 10th and Eclipse out in theaters June 30th, which I am going to see at the IMAX theater in Seattle! I am definitely OBSESSED with the Twilight Saga!

Why should i be the fan of the week for Twilighter? My Twilight Saga journey began in April, 2007. It was the day of the Junior High Dance tryouts and all my best friend would talk about was Edward Cullen. I looked at her and thought, “Since when does she get a boyfriend and not tell me?” But as she talked about him the word “sparkle”, and “blood” and “vampire” came into the conversatioin about once every sentence. As I looked around I noticed that every girl in the gym knew what she was talking about. So when it came time to ask a question about one another to get to know everyone, I stood up and said “Before I go crazy, can someone please tell me who Edward Cullen is?” I felt like i was the stupidist person. A gym full of aobut 40 girls stoped talking and stared at me for about a good 5 minutes. I was seriously scared. As i almost started to say something else, my best friend Oakley got up and made her way to her bag. She came back with a book. The title read “Twilight”. I read the back and said, “Can I borrow this?” She looked at me as if I just asked the best questin in the world. She let me and I read the first 4 chapters before dinner that night… I was hooked. I called her after dinner and we talked for hours. Over the next two weeks I finished the books and read all sorts of information on the web. Oakley and I had started a Twilight Saga group at our school and we have 27 members. I ABSOLUTLEY LOVE TWILIGHT!!!!!!:)

I had listened about Twilight for 3 or 4 months before Octuber 2008. It wasn’t something interesting for me, but my best friend had read the books and she bought Breaking Dawn when the last book was realased in octuber 26 in our country, I was with her this day and she convinced me to read the other books. Whe the film was in theatres, already I was crazy!!! The film was realased in Colombia in january 1/2009, we went to cinema 10 times for a month… Obviously, I read the books in Spanish and English 4 times each one. In July, a friend was in USA and she bought for us the Twilight’s special edition two DVDs and I saw the film again 20 times. In Facebook, the Colombians fans have a group about realased date to New Moon and we made that New Moon was released on the 27th of November and not in January 1/10 (it was the original date for our country). One month before, we had the tickets to premiere. I’m very crazy with this saga… I fall in love with all the history, characters, books, films, songs, and all the things about TWILIGHT!!!

For the last three years, I have been going through a divorce. I felt for a long time, that I was slipping further and further into depression. Raising two children has taken its toll on my love life. I don’t regret anything, even the bad. Because I have relized not long ago that the bad, as well as the good, are the elements that make me who I am today. Part of getting out of the ‘Self Loathing Stage’ I bought the entire Twilight Saga novels. It might sound a little crazy, but these books mean so much to me. For they are a essential in my self recovery. I have never read any book that has given me faith and self recognition. I have always been a sucker for the fantasy world, as I wished in so many ways, that people like the characters in Twilight are real. I like to believe that every women deserves to have there very own Edward Cullen… One day, I will find my one true ‘Soul Mate.’ Thank you to Stephenie Meyer for writing such a wonderful series.

Last year, my friends went to see Twilight at the cinema, but I couldn’t go because I was ill. When I get better, the film wasn’t in the cinema anymore, and, like my friends didn’t love it, I thought: “well, it doesn’t matter” so I lost interest and I forgot. A month later I was walking in the street with my friends when I saw a guy who was selling DVD’s there, and I saw that he had Twilight. I bought it, and, when I arrived home, I watched it. I was very, very fascinated, when my dad and my mom arrived home, I showed it to them. In fact, I saw it 4 times in the day. The following day was Wednesday (when I go to have lunch with my friends after school, like on Thursdays), and I asked my friends if they could go with me to a library so I could buy the book. My friends never see me more crazy about something, and me neither.

Well the thing is that I bought the first book, read it that night, in my bathroom, and while my family was sleeping. The next day, I went with my friends to buy New Moon, and on Friday (when I have already finished New Moon) I went back to the library with my mum and bought the other two books: Eclipse and Breaking Down. For Saturday, I had read the four books.

Since then, my friends gave me the special edition of two DVD’s ( the original) for my birthday, I have read the whole saga 8 times, watch Twilight one hundred times, downlowed all the songs it has to my computer, my cellphone and my MP4, saw New Moon, and can’t wait to see Eclipse and Breaking Down.

The Twilight saga is my addiction…my love…
For ever a twilighter (L)

I never even knew the books existed until I saw the movie, and after watching it I feel in love. I am 29 years old and everyone makes fun of me because I am so obsessed I have posters, pillow cases, t-shirts, magazine articles. It really has nothing to do with age, its a love story that millions of girls can relate to. The story grabs you and it allows you into this world that is so majestic you just want to be there, you want to be bella. You want the story to be true, you want vampires to exist so you can have this man who is so powerful no one can harm you but ay the same time be so gentle with you. Stephanie meyer made millions of people happy when>he dreamed this story up so we could dream as well. I am a twilight fan because years down the road this will be a classic that will be watched over and over, that will be as good as the first time you watched it.
