I have always been an avid reader. My younger sister has not. She could never find books that held her interest. She has always prefered doing other things like playing outside when she was younger or spending time online in the present. The Stephenie Meyers Twilight series has changed that. For me, it has been exciting to see her turn into a reader.
The books hold her interest because of the characters and writing. She instantly was grabbed by the characters, like Bella and Edward. She finds them interesting and can't wait to find out what happens to them next. She hasn't really ever been into vampires, but in this series the vampires feel so much like regular people. The books are geared toward teens, so she finds them easier to read and follow. The words flow in a way that is easy to understand and follow the story.
My sister who used to never read has been consumed by Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. I love seeing her become so into reading. There are so many book series that have been getting lots of media attention. I love that these series can bring new people into reading, which to me is always a good thing.
