Well, I think they are popular because they actually sound realistic(for the most part) but also fictional. I like Twilight because it’s a romance, but not a gross, gushy love story.

Twilight.

Your questioning it’s reason to be on the top seller’s list? Wierd.

I’m completely fallen head over heels for a fictional character. Sad, isn’t it. Ah well. But the dephth is the characters and the turns of events keep you in click the whole book.

And by the way… werewolf’s are in Twilight…

Hmm well, i dont exactly read as much as i should, so ive never heard of this Twilight book, or any of the other books people are going crazy for, so i couldnt really tell you why everyone likes them so much, could i be missing out? tell me people who have read them, are they really that good?

This quick question is to Jessi:

ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!???

Twilight is the best book that has ever been written (in my opinion…and many others), and you’ve never heard of it?

Why Twilight is so popular? Well, for starters it has the best and sweetest characters with so much depth and greatness within them (except for one character…Jacob Black! I DO NOT like him. Never have, never will, and no one can change my feeling on him). The most lovely, beautiful, stunning, charming, striking, handsome, gorgeous, attractive, wonderful, exquisite, and magnificent (and yes, I meant every single one of those words) one of them all is Edward Anthony Masen Cullen. Just his name makes you start drooling over him (at least for me it does…not literally, though. It’s more on the inside). He’s so thoughtful and kind-hearted, you can’t help but to become deeply and utterly in love with Edward. Even though I can’t actually see him, I can somehow feel his presence as I’m reading. I can see his intense eyes gaping at me, as if I’m the only person that matters in the world (well, it’s actually Bella that this happens to, but you know what I mean).

As for The Clique series, I’ve never read them and not planning on it. For Shakespeare’s books, I’ve never read them but probably will have to in high school or college. In that case, I don’t have much to say about them.

P.S. That’s an interesting picture of Stephenie Meyer you have there, Mr. Madden. I knew it was her right when I saw it. I looked that picture up on Google and found some more that were taken at her “prom,” like that one. Oh, also, the Twilight SERIES isn’t a trilogy. It never was planned to be. There’s going to be at least five books. One more thing, Tomorrow my mom said that I might be able to go and get Extras, by Scott Westerfeld! I’m so excited! I had this little countdown timer for the release right down to the milliseconds on my AIM Page. Wow, that was a long “P.S.”

Kaitlyn,

I will have a copy of “Extras” in my room this week. If, somehow, you do not ascertain a copy, I would most certainly have one on hand for you to peruse, and that, of course, goes for everyone else.

The power, the magic, and the majesty of the written word–so simple, yet so overwhelming.

-Mr. Madden

Just because i’m in 7th grade does that mean i can’t use your library? Oh yeah once Kaitlyn’s done is it OK if I read Extras.

Tess

P.s. who liked Max Ride 3 I’m debating wether or not I should buy it.

Kaitlyn I agree.

As I brought up before.

I am in love with a fictional character.

And as for Jacob Black, one quote from Eclipse summerizes both of our feelings, Kaitlyn…

“You know, Jacob, if it weren’t the fact that were natural enemies and that you’re also tryng to steal away the reason for my existance, I might actually like you,” Edward said.
“Maybe… if you weren’t a discusting vampire who was planning on suck out the life of the girl I love… well, no, not even then.”

The roles are mearly flip floped. That’s all for now… and Mr. M, I still can’t get that RSS Feed to work…

Mr. Madden,

That’s so cool that you’d let me use your copy! I don’t know if my mom’s going to let me get Extras now. My dad said that the only way I’m aloud to get it is by helping my parents finish staining our deck. It’ll probably take hours. My sister was supposed to help, but, of course, she has ANOTHER friend over for the 100 billionth time. It’s soo hot out, too. I might just have to take you up on that offer!

Maximum Ride 3: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports was really disapointing for me… I don’t know about you Tess but I hated that the flock split and the whole thing with Ella’s mom. I bought it on the first day, and I wish I would’ve saved my money. It was better then most books, but I expected more from Mr. Patterson.

Haha Kaitlyn, yes I’m serious, and from what you just told me it sounds like a pretty good book. I have a question for you though: What do you do when the book is over? i mean you say you’ve fallen in love with a fictional character,which is a little creepy ( but who am I to judge, right?) and every time you open up the book you want to see what happens next to your beloved Edward, but what do you do when theres no more book left to read and all your left with is feelings for a fictional character? I suppose you could wait until the author writes another book, and then you will be reunited with Edward but that might take a year or even two! So what do you do? P.S.- maybe I’ll drop by Mr.Maddens room and check out that book, who knows, maybe I’ll start to fall for Edward?

Jessi,

I’ve read all of the books for the Twilight series so far. To keep me occupied, I’ve been going on the author’s (Stephenie Meyer’s) web site. There’s a lot to read and look at there. I’ve found many wed sites and blogs about the books, too. I also have read Twilight a second time. You’d be surprised (well, I’m not knowing how good the books are) of how many different sites for the Twilight series there are. I hope that answers your question!!

Kaitlyn S.

Well, I think the reason people love (and I mean love) books about fictional characters is because I think that there easier to relate with. But thats just me. What about you guys?

Kaityln, I feel the same way. I’ve re-read Eclipse for the *Counts quietly in head…* sixth time? Yea! The sixth time. Plus Twilight nummerous times. Along with the last few chapters of New Moon (the best part) nearly every night since June.

Please post something NEW Mr. Madden!

Delanie,

You are so right! Complacency breeds stagnancy, and stagnancy leads to staleness, and staleness gives way to boredom.

Yikes!!! It’s a MadWords nightmare!

Look for a new post this evening, and thanks, Delanie for keeping me on top of things.
