No, just the first one so far, waiting for my gf to find the rest of her books
Which one was your favourite?
The first one so far... although I will update this later.
Have you seen the movie?
Yes and I hated it.
What did you think?
IIt was so flawed, the character respresentation of edward SUCKED! He is over a 100 yrs old, he would not fumble and stutter over his words. In the book he was so exact in what he wanted and what he knew, he had an awesome sense of humour which was very attractive to me and it wasn't even portrayed in the movie. The movie didn't do much for me it all. It didn't develop any of the characters enough to understand them. Even DH who hasn't read the book said the movie was so choppy he imagined there would be so much of the movie on the editing room floor. The only time we really got to see a glimpse of the true Edward was towards the very end of the movie, when he was confident and calm. I thought TBH he was the worst actor I have ever seen, way too wooden. And I really don't think they read any of the text describing the characters at all, especially edward. What was with that big boofy "James Dean" like hair. Soooo annoying, and from a design perspective why didn't they adjust the makeup to suit the lighting that was annoying me too. The other thing I wanted to see more of was his driving heh, in the book it is quite noted how precise and FAST he drives... yet you really wouldn't get that from the movie unless you had seen the book and put two and two together. The father character was also more passive in the book than on screen. The other thing that was COMPLETELY flawed was the way they portrayed Edward to be "like" a teenager, another big part of the book is that neither of them were like regular teenagers. He was been alive for over 100 yrs he wouldn't fumble or sook like a teenager he would brood like a man, and I saw none of that wisdom that he has in the book. ANNOYING! And she wasn't EVER scared. She was very firm with that, I hated how she fumbled over it in the movie through that damn annoying heavy panting LOL. She was way more empowered in the book.
Are you an Edward or a Jacob fan?
Edward.
Why?
His personality reminds me of DH, we even talked about it after watching the movie. That cute protective streak that Edward has for Bella is exactly like DH. He is very gallant and strides in to keep me safe especially when I least expect it (and often most need it) I also like his sense of humor (in the book) also very similar to DH.
What is your favourite quote?
