So the epic conclusion of the Twilight Saga was amazing! To me it was by far the most honest book interpretation I have ever watched. As far as an overall series with books and movies it goes to Harry Potter by a long shot. I mean JK Rowling created an entire world! Her books are so very complex and at the same time very easy to read. She captivated millions in the belief that a wizarding world could actually exist. I am not taking anything away from Stephanie Meyer and what she did because i did enjoy the entire Twilight Saga. But if you look at the message she is sending, she is making it okay to live your entire life for one person. I get that she is trying to talk about true love and love conquers all, but that shouldn't be the only reason for living. You shouldn't put yourself in harms way to feel alive. It is very important to love! You need to experience pain. These are powerful emotions just like anger and happiness but the reason i chose to talk about these two specifically is because this is what Rowling and Meyer touch on. Rowling shows the coming of age and the trials through adversity and pain. Harry Potter has a very tough life but he doesn't let that affect who he is. He overcomes all in spite of who he is. Meyer's book is about falling in love. And i hope to find someone who feels the same way for me as bella and edward feel for each other. But at the same time i do not want to let that define me. I need to be happy before i start even thinking about making someone else happy. This is the only knock i have against The Twilight Saga. You shouldn't let anyone else define you. But to my point if you like one of these series or both, you will not be disappointed.
