Twiliked it a lot

Four days after beginning this epic journey reliving my very early 20s it came to a close this evening after 759 pages...

Fans of The Twilight Saga will know this story well, but the retelling from the POV of Edward, is actually very eye opening.

Previous works by Meyer were rough around the edges, and not very polished, the language used not conveying the nature of such a largely followed saga... Midnight Sun is very well written, the language and style more mature. However I did find that there were too many pages per chapter, thus making “breaktimes” seem too far off...

The one that started it all. This film revolutionized cinema in more ways that likely any other film before it, or after.

While the base of the story is a worn one, the telling of this story is what sets it apart and makes it legendary.

We are introduced to a world (nee, universe) created in the mind of George Lucas that he unabashedly shared with a world that didn't know they wanted, and in some cases, needed it.

The fact that over forty years later we are still talking about this movie and it maintains relevance rather than just being nostalgic speaks volumes to the impact it has had on everything around it.

Though I figure there aren't too many folks who haven't already seen this epic, if you are one of the hold outs, knock it off. See the movie. It's better than you have been told.
