So... a lion is never gonna fall in love with a lamb, we all know that. It's totally ridiculous, impossible, unrealistic and I'm sure some will even argue (especially those emotionally unavailable ones... =P) stupid. I can't disagree with that (though I do with that very last word there) it is ridiculous to think that a predator could ever love its prey, it'd go against the 'rules of nature' because you can't fight who you are. However, if we were to put ourselves in a world where this could be possible (which is what this novel does) it WOULD indeed be quite an interesting scenario. If we were to have a predator fighting to keep the very little bit of humanity left in them, trying not to be the monster they were made to become... I personally find that to be a very interesting struggle that would give anyone A LOT to write about. That's why I enjoyed this book, it went beyond anything we've ever known and made it seem not only fascinating but also believable, and I doubt that was easy (although it may seem that way, but then again... that's what good writers do). I was hooked, and although at the very end it did get a bit corny for my taste... =P I still enjoyed it and I'm definitely gonna read the other books too now. I liked Stephenie as a writer, these are really the kind of books I can enjoy, because they are simple but still manage to go beyond just 'narrating a story'. She didn't just tell it but explained it with the use of more than one beautiful phrase. That's my kind of thing, and for a simple lazy brain like mine it was heaven =P.
It was really interesting to find the irrevocable attraction between the simple and dull girl who does not think a lot of herself and doesn't really seem to have a lot to offer... and the god-like creature whose every move is enchanting and perfect, someone who can do no wrong... So opposites attract (what a surprise... =P) and the pedrator finds himself on his knees for the one person no one would have thought deserved such an honour. Interesting... it says a lot about what's really there I guess...
"When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it's not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end."
My fave line in the entire novel. Mmm <3
