on Twilight (the book)

Twilight. The new Harry Potter the say? It wouldn't be fair to compare two novels with such different plots. I guess the only connection between these two is Cedric Gregory ( Rob Pattinson). But maybe it's now time to have a new fad for the books and movie fanatics out there. So here comes twilight. I've read the first book and i must say it did not caught my interest right away as much as other books had. To say the least, their story is not at all different among other stories, except that Edward Cullen (Rob Pattinson) is a vampire.. and a good vampire...sort of. The lead character, Isabella Swan (Kristen Stewart), isn't that unusual either.

Twilight is about a simple girl that fell inlove with an extraordinary, mysterious and gorgeous guy. Simple. Nothing new. I didn't really like the lack of intensity in Bella's approach to all the whole mysteries that unfold in front of her, for me..the first part of the story unfolds too fast and lack the right emotions.But there's something about twilight that would get you hooked up. Perhaps the humor, or maybe Bella's lack of emotions could also be an asset in the story. Im not really sure except for me, the story isn't that predictable (which is a plus)! Dissecting the story..it isn't that interesting..BUT looking at it as a whole.. it's definitely more than good;)

There would be parts that you can't put the book down and then there are parts that are just okay. But then again.. it's just like any other book..right?

Anyway.. nuff about the book. I saw the trailer on yt... and my interest on the story shoot up a hundred percent more. ;p Usually i prefer books than movies, but seeing the trailer, it changed my mind. I can't wait till i see it! *__*



Hooray for Edward err...Cedric...i mean Robert^^ unlike before he only plays as supporting character for Radcliffe, he's now the lead! nice one ^^
