I too have become addicted to the Twilight Sagas. I have seen the movie 4 times and read all the books in the series (the first book twice).
The movie, like fine wine, gets better with each viewing.
I also love the soundtrack...it is my new "happy place" music :]
My movie review of "Twilight" was recently picke-up by a local online newspaper...

I'VE SEEN THE MOVIE ONCE, ((DIDN'T LOVE IT BUT LIKED IT)), AND READ THE SERIES 4 TIMES!!!!!!!


i have seen the movie and didnt like it too much
i have read Twilight 16 times. new moon twice. eclipse 14 times. breaking dawn twice. i only got through it twice before i lent it to many many people and i havent seen it since the begining of september :( *sniff sniff*

I ♥ Twilight Saga!!!!
never read them, and i kinda (I know i am gonna get slaughtered for saying this) i kinda think the premise is stupid.....or lets just say an unatractive book for me

Caution...the PDF file can only be read online...but it is a great read.
It is the story of "Twilight" from Edward's viewpoint.
And no waiting at the library for it :]




Madeline: where the heck have i been???

Yippers, I have it from a "reliable source" that she is indeed going to finish Midnight Sun ;]


New moon, i liked because it had a lot less Edward in it (I'll explain later) but honestly the book had no plot. And if it did it was the same as all of the other books. Evil vampire wants to kill Bella, Edward saves her. In Eclipse i absolutely wanted to kill Bella. The whole time she was being a whiny annoying trouble making waste of space!
The best review i could give Breaking Dawn is.....'Worst book i've ever read.' And i have read a lot of books. (They arent all on my goodreads cuz im lazzy)
The book had no clear point to it, when you think back on it you spend pretty much the entire book in the Cullen's living room! It was really weird and slightly pedophile-ish when Jacob imprinted on Renesme. That kinda creeped me out.
And then you spend like 200 pages of nail biting tense prep for this big fight, that never happens!I thought the books were horrible. Aside from my dislike for SM's writing style (or lack of one) I found myself Loathing her characters.
Bella Swan:
Bella comes off (to me) as a whiny ungrateful suicidal masochist who throws her life away at 17 over a boy. Gets married at 18, sells her soul and gets pregnant. I think that she is a horrible role model, and to jam packed full of stereotypes and cliches to have any redeeming qualities.
Edward Cullen:
Stephenie Meyer, we get it Edward is attractive, theres no need to remind us every four paragraphs. I think tha Edward is way too over protective! Having Alice kidnap Bella? I mean thats just too far. Also hes so perfect he almost has no personality. Hes just a rigid 107 year old vampire who falls in love with a girl who just walked out of a book called "Top 100 female stereotypes"
Wow i typed a lot....its 4:57 and im a bit delirious, but i just felt like saying tha.
byezz


You made some excellent points :]
It is good to hear both sides! {hands you a clean, dry towel to wipe your brow} Perhaps a case of Twilight burnout along with your epiphany {one of my all-time favorite words by the way}.
I enjoyed the first book, for the love story. Let's face it...the first book “is” a Romance Novel. I think that is its universal appeal to woman of all ages.
I also liked the fact that it was a "quick and easy" read. You didn't have to think, just enjoy. It is important to "just enjoy" sometimes :]
As to Meyer's writing style...yes, it is filled with redundancies. At the same time, her writing is so innocent and pure, it is a fun place to visit and revisit when you just want a mental-break!

The books were fun at the time, and i suppose me hating the books has to do with the whole craze about them. After reading Twilight i read many other books that were just so much more, interesting and i lost faith in them. *shrugs*
The Host was better. It was an exciting scifi/ romance story and it was truly gripping!
come on guys, let's face it, there are honestly better movies than twilight out there, even though it was a phenomenon and all . . . but I have to say Pirates of the Caribbean 3 At Worlds End is the best. :D Don't kill me! I STILL LUV TWILIGHT TO DEATH!!!

Johnny Depp could be playing a game of chess on the beach for 4 hours, and it would be an excellent movie :]
Yep, it would be a good movie!!

"Rolling stone said: A gripping plot, and action story filled with twists and turns, with just enough humor in the mix!"
thx, I like Cam Gigandet. TEE HEE!!

Bella and Edward- 107 and 19
Quil and Clare- 16 and 2
Jacob and Renesme- 16 and...2 months? *shudders*
