 Twilight by Stephenie Meyer 5 out of 5 stars. I heard of the title from time to time and it seemed to receive a lot of praises. It wasn't until a friend (Mimi) handed me the book and suggested I read it when I finally seriously looked into it. Twilight is about a human girl (Isabella Swan) who falls in love with a vampire (Edward Cullen) and the story revolves around their relationship - torn between giving into their intense love for each other and knowing that they are absolutely wrong for each other and staying together only endangers Isabella's life and Edward's family. This one goes into my favorites list. It's a great book. If you're into vampire stories you should give this a go. (Although, don't expect it to be too graphic - it's more of a love story than a horror) I think there's a movie version coming out. Just like most movies based on books... it probably won't be better than the book but I'd definitely see just because I liked the book so much. |

Thanks ;D
I would have finished it on the flights (with all the delays) but I got sidetracked with having to find out where I was supposed to be and trying to hunt down proper airport food. I had the worst pizza and caramel coffee - I'm not sure if it's because they were from the airports or simply because nothing compares to Giamari's

Lol It's because nothing compares to Giamari's, they have the best pizza ever. Christina got the second and third book to Twilight, she says she is going to let me borrow it when she is done with it. I'll see if I can't let you borrow it after me.

I'm in the process of reading the second book, I started but keep getting distracted. I want to see the movie though, hope it's not a disappointment.

Well they always say that the books are better than the movie.

Yeah I agree with that, like the Golden Compass. I read the book, then I watched the movie, yeah I should have just watched the movie then read the book. They changed a lot in it, especially the ending that's why I think the movie just hoovers. But I don't want that to happen with twilight, it's such a good book.

Also in Blood and Chocolate. I saw the movie, now I'm reading the book it's a lot different from the movie. They changed so much in it. Like the movie is based in Romania the book is based in the states. It's weird but better.

Yeah I just saw the movie, (blood and Chocolate) I didn't know that it was a book too. I'd read it but I've already got like 3 books I have to read, I'll get around to it sometime. But I have finally read New Moon, and I can't wait to read Eclipse.

Eclipse was amazing. I have a bunch of books to read after I read Blood and Chocolate. I don't know how I'm going to do it though.

I'm about to start reading Eclipse today, my friend also said it was going to be great. So you have a ton of books to read afterwards as well, sounds like we're both piled high. My mom keeps getting me books, so I don't think I'll ever run out.

I don't think I'll ever run out either. My grandma keeps giving me her old books. Sounds like we have enablers of our problem. Lol. I finished Blood and Chocolate and I would write a review but I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't be able to summarize it very well.

Well you could try, I'd like to know how the book compared to the movie. I'm sure your summarization will be fine, please do write a review.

I don't know, Jacob is so cool but Edward is wicked cool. Edward is mister perfect, while Jacob is kind and stuffs. Hard decision huh. Which do you pick?

I don't know. I would probably feel more comfortable talking to Jacob, and I would probably be a little shy of Edward. Edward is "wicked cool" because he is smart, mysterious, and strong. But I like that certain gentleness about him. And Jacob is wild, fun, and easy to talk to. Jacob is like the sun and Edward is like the moon. So, I have no idea which one I like better.

I like Jacob way more than Edward because Jacob is so sweet and so amazing. Edward is sweet too but he can never keep Bella warm inside and out

Yeah that is true. Jacob is just a warm person to be around.

Hmm I don't know, I think their both pretty awesome. Still though I think I'd like Jacob better, just because he's a wolf and all. Vampires are wicked and all but I like wolves way better.

Eh, in the last book though I started to like Jacob way more and just wanted him to be real.
