So by now it is no secret that author Stephenie Meyer has become a household name for millions of young girls (and their mothers) who have collectively purchased approximately 7.5 million books from her Twilight trilogy, with another 3.2 million books ready to fly off the shelf when the fourth and final installment of the series, Breaking Dawn, is released at 12:01 am on August 2nd. (You can read the opening pages of Breaking Dawn by going here.)
Besides the fan fervor surrounding Breaking Dawn is the arguably greater fervor surrounding the cinematic release of the series’ first installment, Twilight, which arrives in theaters this December. Of course, anyone familiar with the books shouldn’t be surprised with the overwhelming anticipation for the movie’s release, but I think even Meyer and the cast of the film were blown away by the level of mania they experienced during the packed-house panel for Twilight at this year’s Comic-Con.
