Well, This past summer, in between teaching assignments, I read Twilight not knowing it was geared for my junior high students as well as high school students..I was just browsing for some vampire material. Initially I found it fairly enjoyable until the mushiness of the characters kept interupting the storyline( more than 3/4 of the way into the book) so I did what I never do.. I stopped reading the book. When school started, OMG, all my students were reading it. My own daughters, who give me such a hard time about my fascination with Barnabas and DS, now cannot put the book down..they are into the second book and it seems soon into the third and fourth book. Let me tell you Edward Cullen has nothing on Barnabas. Again what is this fascination with vampires? My own family cannot see that their fascination with Edward is the same thing as my love of the Collins family. Is their a connection? Cullen/Collins? Many of Edward's characterisitcs are no different from Barnabas'. Anyway as I always say Long Live DS!!
