Twilight



Sorry I have been gone so long, work has gotten out of control busy and I got hooked on a drug. Not just any drug.....Ok, so I hate to admit this, but I'm obsessed! Twilight is my drug! Not just the movie, I'm talking the whole bag, the movie, the books (4 books, all 600+ pages) AND the soundtrack!!! I didn't really understand it when Melanie started reading the books and missed work for 3 days to complete them (she works at home and is self employeed so its all ok!) and I didn't really understand when I was reading about the mobs of people getting hurt trying to see the actors from the film...but now I do. So I think I started the first book, last Sunday night. And as of today I am almost half way into the fourth book. I have been none stop, I have not watched barely any TV (thank goodness for DVR) and I even went to a midnight showing of the film, b/c I had to see it first!!!


I don't know if its really supposed to be for more of a teenage age group, but I think it doesn't matter. The plot is way more deep than any "high school" drama you could think of. I mean straight forward its a love story. It just happens to be between a normal girl and a 100 year old vampire...oh and then it becomes a love triangle, between the girl, the vampire and the best friend who happens to be....(I won't tell what he happens to be, you'll have to read it to find out!)


All while the love story is going on is the drama of the threat to the girls life from all sides...


But I can't help it, I am hooked...and I'm kind of sad when the book I'm reading now is done, cause' then what? I guess they are making another movie, I'll just have to wait for that!! :)

PS- I really liked the movie. I thought that the acting could be a teeny bit better (mainly just the actress who played the girl) and I thought that they cut out a lot of the connection between Edward and Bella, but I guess you have to , to put 600+ pages on screen with a 2 hour time constraint...
