I'm currently reading, A New Dawn, a book created by a series of different authors writing their thoughts about The Twilight Saga. As me being me, once I read Twilight, I couldn't stop. Each and every author brings up something new to my attention. The smallest details that I never noticed slowly become true.
In the first chapter I read by Susan Vaught, Vaught wrote about how one of the main characters, Edward Cullen, fits 6/7 of the criteria for being a ssociopath. When reading this, I slowly retraced all of these moments and examples she wrote about of how Edward could possibly be a sociopath. After reading this section, I wasn't upset at all because after all, I'm not a big fan of Edward which is why when I read the blurb, picked this book up. This book really attracted me the most because of the blurb: Is Edward a romantic or a (really hot) sociopath? Why does Alice care so much about celebrating Bella's birthday? Who would you rather date: the guy who thirsts for your blood or the guy who drinks out of the toilet? And after reading this blurb I tried to make my own answers for these questions. After I tried, I realized there isn't much of an right or wrong answer for any of these questions. It really just depends on your thoughts and opinions about each character. As soon as I read more, I starting leaning towards and believing everything this book brought to my attention. Small scenes that happen in the book Twilight. When reading books we don't make assumptions like "Edward could possibly be a sociopath," but when we read books like this, the details form a puzzle of how these things can be true.
This book brings these details that when we read we should be doing. When reading, we never think about these small details. These small details are what usually matter most. Fan girls of the Twilight Saga Series get into this crazy world of Team Edward or Team Jacob, and like myself, read every book at least 3 times. The thing is, we love the series so much and know so much about these characters, but it seems that we really don't know enough to realize details like these.
