Twilight Appreciation!

[indie24]

Have you read all 4 books? Which one was your favourite?

I just finished the 3rd read through of the whole series. My favourite book would be New Moon, closely followed by Twilight. I loved how New Moon introduced Jacob further and the added dimension that Bella loved Edward but Jacob is also an important part to her being too.

Have you seen the movie? What did you think?

I have seen the movie several times. I liked it but I wouldn't say I loved it. I was surprised because I am notorious for hating movies based on books that I have read first. The acting was kind of wooden. I wasn't a fan of some of the casting choices (Bella, Rosalie and Carlisle). Mainly because I have a habit of reading books and picturing the characters based more on their character rather than the physical description the author provides.


Are you an Edward or a Jacob fan? Why?

That is a hard one because I like each of them for different reasons. I really can't pick. I love Edward's romantic nature but I also love Jacob because he is so cheeky.

What is your favourite quote?

My favourite quote is the one where Emmett asks her if she fell down and she responds that she actually punched a werewolf.

I also like the quote (I don't know the exact wording) where Edward thought it would be safer for her without him and to trust her to take up with werewolves. Sorry I don't have access to New Moon to give the exact wording.

My other favourite character is Alice.

LOL me too. Jacob wasn't as I pictured but that's because I just made it up in my head and didn't pay enough attention to what the author said. I didn't picture him with long hair or looking so native american, more just a guy with a tan, And I always have to picture Edward with black hair for some reason!

What did you guys think of the Cullen's house in the movie?? It was nothing at all like i pictured it... i think it was too modern in the movie

Me too, it was way too modern!

Doesnt the author mention in the book the house being old-style? Or am I imagining it (cant be bummed looking through Twilight to find the reference lol)

[*Nikki*]

Yeah Anna im pretty sure it was meant to be an older style house.... with a huge balcony (i could have that wrong)... I pictured Edwards room being HUGE tho... was very small in the movie
I thought they did a good job on Bella's house tho..... not exactly how i pictured the outside tho

Sara - lol yeah im the same with Jacob.. tho it clearly says in the book that he is native american... with long hair

first off it was meant to be white! Thats what bums me the most! But yeah way to modern! Gorgeous house though!

Nikki I love Alice too! I secretly wish I could be her with all those clothes!

i just finished reading the books! took me all of 2 1/2 weeks to finish them all! by far the best was breaking dawn! what an ending!! i think she left room for more to come in the future too... :-)

i actually saw the movie first so i was kinda picturing all the characters and places in my head from the movie so i dont have any issues in that regard.

definately an EDWARD fan!! jacob was never right for bella, he kinda got annoying with all his unrequited love stuff, but in the end (breaking dawn) you can finally see why he never gave up, he knew he was supposed to be in bellas life in some way.. (dont want to give anything away for those who havenet read them all yet).

i actually like edward and the vamps better than bella, she kinda annoyed me with all the 'i'm not good enough' stuff.

second favourite vamp would have to be.. i dunno its hard to choose i liked em all! :-) oh and i agree they didnt dress rosalie properly in the film, she wasnt as stunning as the book described.

one annoying thing, i think it began in eclipse and carried on through breaking dawn... i dindt like the way edward starting calling bella 'love'. he hadnt done it in the previous books so it was a little off putting. eg, ' relax love'. kwim?

but overall a good read, cant wait to see more of the movies.

Totally agree this annoyed me too! It was as if he was talking down to her? Which didnt fit with him.
