The Twilight addiction continues...
So, I'm still completely addicted to the Twilight Series (it's like I'm channelling a 15 year old girl or something!!)
I've now finished Twilight, New Moon and Midnight Sun, and I've read almost half of Eclipse.
I can't really explain the attraction --- in theory, it doesn't have much going for it. The writing isn't amazing, the story isn't particularly unique, and I'm usually incredibly frustrated by teenage angst and drama. But yet, I can't put them down! It's just... addictive! A strange, undeniable, irresistible addiction.
It's that perfect kind of mindless drivel. The books that I usually read require a lot of concentration, and since I read so much at work, when I get home, the last thing that I usually want to do is read something else that will require me to think. With Twilight, my mind can relax, and I can become completely engrossed in the book and forget about everything else. Like a drug!
( More under the cut - nothing that I consider spoilery )
