Twilight. The Book and the Movie

Nov 29, 2008 15:58

I think my LJ is now going to be reserved for reviews and such now XD

I've finally read the dreadful Twilight book... The first one that is. I have yet to continue on to New Moon. And my sister wants me to continue on already :P But I've decided I want to pace myself. Lest I break my brain further.

Now... On to the proper review ( which is in here and utterly spoilertastic )

reading, movies

Hmm, I have some issues with the writing style actually (her excessive use of adjectives and adverbs, for one thing), but those are purely technical things, so I decided to ignore that while reading.

I don't like Bella and Edward, either. And...for me at least, Edward isn't the ideal boyfriend. I know how other people want their own Edward, but...I'd probably not be happy with someone like him. (Carlisle is probably a bit closer to my ideal, ehehe.) His abrupt changes in mood I find a bit scary, and gentleman or not, he's still a vampire. To each his own anyway, hehe. ^^;

I'm not part of Team Jacob, though. @_@ I kind of think of him as more of a little brother figure, ehehe. (And I was spoiled about the events in Breaking Dawn, too. Gah.)

About the movie, I really, really liked the bit where the Cullens try to cook for Bella. "Are we even sure she's Italian?" "Well, her name's Bella, right?" XD XD XD

And I thought it was soooo cute how at the end, he pretended he was going to bite her neck, but kissed it instead, and you see his lips curl up into a smile, that was so cute!!! I thought that scene was really...sexy. *cough*

I actually still haven't finished the book yet. I was silly and watched the movie anyway. :P (I did browse up to the end, though.)

Yeah, sa wakas nakilig din ako sa dapat kilig parts... hahahaha!

I think that's partly it also. I hate how he's supposedly so perfect. I think I could actually go out with movie Edward though XD After I freak out about his being a vampire though...

For Jacob, I don't want for them to be together. But I do like Jacob himself. My friend likes him even after Breaking Dawn, so...

There were a lot of really cute parts with the vampires. I seriously love her vampires, they're not dark and brooding, which is what people usually portray vampires as. Of course, they're still tortured and such, but they're not black-wearing gothy people.

Read the end, it's all right. Speed-read and browse through the unnecessary mush if you have to. ^_^
