In the last two weeks, you’ve met TheShagDaddy and Shaun, two guys who’ve made their wives very happy by reading Twilight. But not only did they read it, they enjoyed it and became fans themselves. Today I’m introducing you to Dean, the Instigator. He may be the rarest breed of unicorn there is. Why? Just check this out…

Kerry: Oh, we have an interesting point, don’t we?  About how I started reading the books?
Dean: How I got you to read them, you mean? I said, “you laugh now, but wait till you read them…I’ll be laughing at you soon…” and I was right
Kerry:
Dean:
Kerry: How long did I make it after the movie before begging for you to go buy the books?
Dean: 1 day

That’s right! Dean read the entire series before his wife did! He borrowed the books from a coworker. He finished Breaking Dawn while Twilight was still in theaters and took his lovely wife Kerry along. I suppose I owe quite a bit to Dean myself, as Kerry is now my blogging partner! Here’s the rest of the interview. Hope you enjoy!

Kerry:  Did you read the books or see the movie first?
Dean: I got the better part of it first, meaning I read the books first.

Kerry:  What made you decide to read the series?
Dean:  It was recommended by a very straight male co-worker.

Kerry:  Did any of your other co-workers read it?
Dean:  Several of them, or listen to it on audio. The three of us were going to change the face of Twilight fans. All male, married, straight and Twilight fans.

A whole band of unicorns???

Kerry:  What is your favorite book and why?
Dean:  Breaking Dawn! Bella FINALLY becomes a vampire. My favorite part is the 1st person account of the burning. through the first hunt.

Kerry: I remember you being anxious for that.
Dean: There was a false sense of security after she changes for a while. I really enjoyed the final encounter, to be able to resolve that issue, and capture the drama without resorting to a typical action scene.

I think it’s very interesting that one of Shaun’s complaints is a bonus in Dean’s eyes. I just love hearing what guys think of the series!

Kerry:  What appeals to you about the characters?
Dean:  The sense of family that’s created, every guy probably wants to be Edward, but we’re really probably more a cross between Jacob and Mike Newton, or Charlie.

Wow…

Kerry:  What made you a fan of the series?
Dean:  The writing, I kept wanting to read the story, even after it was over. It’s honestly not the “best” writing I’ve ever read, but it’s got a very addictive quality to it. No matter how fantastic the story, the relationships between the characters are very real. And that keeps the story interesting.

Sound familiar to anyone???

Kerry:  Who did you want Bella to choose, Jacob or Edward?
Dean:  Pfft..Edward.

Love it!

Kerry:  Do you have favorite quotes or passages from the books?
Dean: Most of Alice’s lines, The Rock, Paper, Scissors Game. And when she’s sitting on her new Porsche, after Bella returns from the reservation. How do you feel sympathetic for a gorgeous, billionaire, vampire “I never even got to drive it”

Kerry: As a note, I can tell you what was his least favorite. The part in BD where Edward tells Bella “the only parents that don’t sleep and our baby sleeps through the night” I think the shadow of his middle finger is permanently embedded on that page.
Dean: Grrrrr…

I think there are a lot of us parents who felt the exact same way about that passage! (and of course, that’s the only reason babies with Edward seemed interesting to any of us…*wink*)

Kerry:  Do you identify with any of the characters?
Dean:  Charlie, I always feel like I’m on the verge of seeing the big
picture, but when I finally see the werewolves, I’m not glad
I know.

I love it!

Kerry:  Do your male friends know you’ve read the books?

Dean:  One of them has even read a few of them!

Kerry:  What advice would you give to women who want their husband/boyfriend/significant other to read the series?
Dean:  Women are a mystery, fanatic women are even MORE of a mystery. You’ll scare him. Try not to fangirl.

Kerry:  Did reading the series have an effect on our relationship?
Dean:  Definitely, sex got better.
*Kerry whistles innocently*

Unless I’m seriously mistaken, Kerry is not the only woman who read the series who’s whistling innocently at that remark.

Kerry:  Would you or do you recommend the series to other guys?
Dean:  Yeah of course.

Kerry:  Which was better, the books or the movie?
Dean:  Books, no contest.

Kerry:  What scene are you looking forward to the most in New Moon?
Dean:  The wolfpack taking down Laurent. And Alice.

Kerry:  Which scene with Alice?
Dean:  Yes.

Kerry:  Was there a scene you thought they did particularly well in Twilightthe movie?
Dean:  The Cullen’s entrance..the whole dramatic entrance. And Alice, was perfect.

Kerry: Any final words?
Dean:  Ashley was the perfect Alice, she very much fit my pictures of Alice. Looks, mannerisms, even her voice.
Alice was my favorite because she’s someone you can always be honest with and she won’t judge you. She would keep you accountable, but not be judgmental, even when you
say you’re going to get gas, but actually sneak out to McD’s to break your diet. She’s the Edward for guys.

Alice…the Edward for guys. I can see that on a poster. Another great interview from a Twilight guy. Believe it or not, I’ve enjoyed this series as much as I have the one I did on Sam Bradley, Marcus Foster and Bobby Long. Next week I’ll conclude by introducing you to my absolute favorite unicorn…my own husband!

Let us know in the comments what you think of these guys!
