Twilight

[kaaatie]

I started reading Twilight last night, and I'm completely hooked. I've been intrigued by all of the fuss for a while, but to be honest, I wasn't expecting too much, and I didn't really think I'd like it.

I was wrong. I love it! It's certainly not the best written book, but it is quite addictive! I got into work late today, because I spent two hours reading it this morning! I'm hooked enough that I went out in my lunch break and bought all of the books! I'm about half way through, and she now knows that he's a vampire! *is shocked*

Speaking of vampires named Edward, want to hear something weird? On Monday night I was looking through some old papers and I found a story that I wrote in high school. It starts as I'm about to die, and then I explain how it all happened (much like Twilight) --- the story is about this vampire named Edward! How's that for coincidence!?! (I wonder if I could prove she stole my idea and then get myself some royalties!)

Heh. I did the same thing, except I bought all the audio books and am now listening to the last one...Breaking Dawn. If you go to her site (Stephenie Meyer) you can download the draft of book 5 - Midnight Sun. It doesn't sound like she'll ever finish it. Or at least not anytime soon.

Yay, I already read them. Actually I'm re-reading Twilight at the moment just to get the taste of bad movie out of my mouth. Don't waste your money on it. It's awful.

I think if you try to take the book seriously or judge it on its literary merits (of which there are none) then you'll be disappointed - but if you read it for the sparkly crack it is you'll be satisfied =)

LOL They are addictive, aren't they? I mean, they're certainly not great by literary standards but they certainly do suck you in! I've been re-reading the first book in preparation for the movie.

Addictive is how I would describe it so far, yes. There is just something about it.

ooh I just finished reading the book.
Actually, I was reading it at the same time as you (quite a coincidence, eh) but didn't read your post till now 'cos i'm terrified of spoilers \o/

I hope this means you haven't watched the movie. Not that it's bad, it's just something you should watch after you read the book :-P

*pet pet* I have all four. Read all four. And all I can say is that they're not the greatest thing in the world and there will be times you want to strangle a lot of people (including the author, and yourself), but it is indeed like a drug (ironic, in a way) and you can't help but keep reading *.*

OH! Will you be doing reviews? It'd be hilarious to know your thoughts on each book, when you read them of course :-P
