Twilight (Possible Spoilers?)

[Esen]

For a few movies about a book/book series, I can appreciate the movie if I think about what would my opinion be if I had not read the book or if there was no book to read. This is assuming the movie was not just a bad movie in the first place.

For those few movies, I can definitely say the movie was good or even great, though I still enjoyed the book more. Like Loveless said, it's fun using your own imagination. Movies also often have to or choose to leave things out or change a few things due to issues with how long the movie will be or something, which I would only notice because I read the book.

Never had much interest in stories with vampires before to be honest. Also went through a brief period where I was just tired of them completely when I was in high school. Which was odd as I didn't really read many things that focused on vampires in the first place. /shrugs

I think Twilight will be the first (for a book).

I'll pretty much read anything now as long as I can endure the first five or so chapters, assuming the book has a slow start or something. Sometimes I'm end up enjoying the rest of the book, whether I find it great or simply good is another question. I remember giving up on one book back in high school, and now I wish I didn't.

That's the best way to view a movie based off of a book. You have to really appreciate the difference of how you can tell a story in different media. Its really hard to obtain that level of objectivity with a work you're particularly fond of, though. I really hope they do justice with the Watchmen movie coming out.

I think it is a book you can get hooked into but again it really depends on taste, doesn't hurt to try though. I don't usually read or I haven't read fantasy-ish genre since grade school (dragons, witches, etc) and had stuck to strictly more probably stories such as forensics, CSI-like things.

The first couple of pages will start off like any story a bit boring with the introductions... but once she meets the vampire things will get interesting. I'm already half way through the second book. It's good to be on a break, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten any homework done. .__.

Something I do when I pick up a book is usually see the cover, then the title... then I'd open up to a random page and read it. Since the climax is around 3/4 of the book if that seems interesting enough I read the rest. I did like Harry Potter but... after the 4th book Harry was kind of getting on my nerves and the first few chapters didn't get me hooked enough to finish.

Movie: Edward looks more gay than ...hm... let's just say, he's the thin version of Rosie O'Donnell.

The book wasnt bad honestly, but I thought the sparkling part was too... out of the normal story line of vampires. It's not that I dont have an imagination (... you have no idea xD ) but sparkling... in sunlight.. where where I draw the line. =P They can survive sunlight for all i care aslong as they dont sparkle.
But the obsessione veryone has with the book actually disgusts me so much Im not even able to read trhough new Moon. I might in a few years, when people get over it and move on.


Besides that the book isnt bad. The plot is a bit obvious... to me. But it's still interesting and a good book to read. Even if your not into the whole vampire thing. If you like fantasy or sciencefiction or just have a open mind you prob wont be able to put it down.


The obsessed people just got to me so i cant even pick it up. u.u..

[Loveless]

Obsessed? .__.

I agree with you on the sparkling part. While I was reading I was like "...... LOLWTF??!" Of all the things that could've happened he sparkles.

I'm just getting into the third book. The plot (now that I've read 2 of the books) is a bit too obvious but the suspense is what keeps me reading. I agree with some of the critics where I believe the author could've pushed herself more to do something more extraordinary but I suppose she's just starting out and it's always easier said than done. Overall I do love the series, it's a good read.

HEY! I finally made up my mind to read the series too a week ago LOL.

I just finished the third book. They're really good, but everything is so ... mushy. Bella needs to get a life and she also needs an epiphany. Book 2 was pretty disappointing, but I did like Jacob a lot lol. Third book was alright also, but it gets a bit too mushy again.

And I really recommend the Uglies series too! I like action and distopia/utopia novels, and the series was really suspenseful. The fourth book is a bit strange, though it has some pretty funny moments LOL.

[Loveless]

Yeah, Bella definitely isn't my favourite person. Makes me want to slap her at times... :/

I'll try the Uglies then. I seem to be on a book reading roll now... (then it fades for another xx years).

You all should try Blue Bloods too. :x
