Today young hearts around the world are filled with excitement. After a year that felt like ages, finally teenagers will get to see the sequel of the Twilight Saga: New Moon.

For those who still have not heard about this meteoric phenomenon, the story weaves around the teenage lovers Edward and Bella: he is a vampire, doomed to (or blessed with) enternity; she is a pretty girl who sees her life taken up by the supernatural. After all, vampires used to exist only in scary Halloween tales.

People have wondered what is so great about the saga. According to Stephanie Myers herself, talking to Time (http://www.time.com), she wrote the story she believed in and cared about. Maybe that is what has made her books so catching, writing in a language teens understand and are able to connect with. There are teachers, classmates, bullying, flerting and passion; all of what is typical in high-school life. Also, the books have succeeded in taking teens away from computers for a while. Nonetheless, the saga has been all over the internet in forums, blogs and the like. It had been a while since a series of books was able to catch such a young reading public.

However, some wonder if the Twilight saga will be able to stand up the test of time as did other world-wide masterpieces, such as The Lord of the Rings (by J.R.R. Tolkien), Harry Potter (by J.K. Rowling) and The Vampire Chronicles (by Anne Rice). These have been read worldwide for decades, conquering readers of all ages with plots about magic, friendship, battles and horror, each with its particular literary style.

Compared to Rice’s Vampire Chronicles, in Myers’s books there is a giant leap from nocturnal, ancient and poetical so-seen monsters, to day-walking, high-school vampires. Whether Myers had merely aimed at a different view of vampires or not, the fact is that many of those who are fans of gothic horror have despised her books simply because she has done so. Since Bram Stokers’s Dracula, those creatures had been known as night stalkers, evil hearted beings who live on human
blood. No one had ever thought of them attending high-school forever, especially during the day (even if it were in an always-cloudy town). Also, even in the most poetical writings on vampires, such as Rice’s, feelings such as love gain a heavy, dramatical and painful aspect, different from the sweet love between Edward and Bella, however weary it is for them.

The new bestseller and boxffice hit has surely raised the most heated-up arguments over the internet. Rice’s fans, as well as book and movie critics have been really harsh on the Twilight saga, although the legions of young people reading and watching it greatly contrasts with that. Whether loved or hated, the fact is that tonight  New Moon will “shine” on the audience all over the globe. And let the werewolfs come.
