Twilight Appreciation!

[Rebecca77]

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

yes i have read all four (and a half!) books - went to toowoomba on a holiday bought Twilight on the monday, had it finished by Tuesday morning and went and bought the other 3 and had them read by Thursday afternoon!! I have to say that i love twilight the most (although it is close with breaking dawn!) its the beginning of everything - where they find each other and more importantly - themselves!
Have you seen the movie? What did you think?

Yes i saw the movie - I did enjoy it - not quite as much as the books though. They left a lot out - like developing Bella's clumsiness - you kinda see it but i dont think you see it enough to understand where Edwards's protectiveness comes from. The blood typing scene would have been FANTASTIC to be in the movie. oh and the timeline kinda sucked - what happened to the girls choice dance??
oh and i wish that before i had seen the movie i had read midnight sun because after reading it (and watching the movie again) i could see where Rob Pttinson got his motivation adn ideas from - he does play the character more from Edwards point of view...
Are you an Edward or a Jacob fan? Why?

definitely Edward - can't explain why.......just am!! Do you blame me???
What is your favourite quote?
there are just too many to choose from - i can't pick just one.

I have read the series SO MANY times now that DH is getting tempted to hide them from me. But i did go to stephenie Myers website and d/load the PDF of midnight sun - and am almost done reading it again - I like o read it after i read twilight and before i start new moon. I sOOO wish she would hurry up and finish it!!
I also read on her site that she loved the Cassandra Clare books - now i have read all three of those too!!!
Hmmm True blood? another series?? who is the author please???

So I'm up to Eclipse now. I'm a bit over half way through. Lovin' it more and more.
I'm trying to not read it that fast so I don't have to wait for the next book. They're my sister's books. I totally should buy a set of my own, I think.

The soundtrack was unbelievably amazing though - kudos to whoever chose the score. Especially Bella's Lullaby - great work by Carter Burwell there, it is just mesmerising.

I couldn't agree more!!!!

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

Yes (in 9 days ) and can't decide between Twilight and Eclipse, although I do like Breaking Dawn too, what can I say, I'm a scucker for happy endings! I did like New Moon too, but I did race through it so Edward would be back..lol! All in all, love the books, and cant wait to read them again and again!

Have you seen the movie? What did you think?

Yes, and absolutely love it. Although there are some differences b/w the book and movie, the bulk of the movie reflects the book well, and I can appreciated that the differences were necessary to bring it to the big screen. I too agree that the soundtrack is amazing, I listen to it constantly, it really is mesmerising, and I love the songs by Rob Pattinson, his voice it incredible!


Are you an Edward or a Jacob fan? Why?

Definitely Edward because he loves Bella so much and his whloe life revolves around what makes her happy. I do like Jacob as a character, I just dont think he was right for Bella.

What is your favourite quote?

"You are my life now" Edward to Bella.............oh, swoon!

Yesterday I was googling all things Twilight, and I came across some forums and articles about Breaking Dawn. It seems that there was many unhappy fans who thought SM sold out, and that it was nowhere near as good as the others, and a crap ending, too much sex, not enough romance etc. I for one was very happy with it, and cant really understand the backlash. Given that there'd been no sex for the first 3 books, it was enivitable after they were married, and then they had Renesmee and were preparing for a battle, so was kinda hard to include a heap of romance. Anyone else have any thoughts on this???

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

Yep I read all 4 n 3 days. Very addictive. Breaking Dawn has to be my favourite, and least favourite is New Moon.

Have you seen the movie? What did you think?

Yes I saw the movie first. I loved the movie, until I read the books. I too understand that there are always going to be differences between the two as they cram the whole book into a movie. I just thought they could have made the movie a bit longer to fit in some more important story telling detail.


Are you an Edward or a Jacob fan? Why?

If you're asking which one I think is "the one" for Bellah - Definitely Edward. As characters though I loved them both equally. I don't think Jacob really appealed to me until New Moon though, took me a bit to warm to him.

What is your favourite quote?

Bella, I couldn?t live with myself if I ever hurt you. You don?t know how it?s tortured me. The thought of you, still, white, cold? to never see you blush scarlet again, to never see that flash of intuition in your eyes when you see through my pretenses? it would be unendurable. You are the most important thing to me now. The most important thing to me ever.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 13, p.274

Isn?t it supposed to be like this? The glory of first love, and all that. It?s incredible, isn?t it, the difference between reading about something, seeing it in the pictures, and experiencing it?
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 14, p.302

Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars?points of light and reason? And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn?t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything.
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 23, p.514



I agree with the PP about Breaking Dawn. I thought it was a fantastic ending. There was a lot of sex, but it was used to show Edward and Bellahs incredible attraction to each other. Not over the top at all in my opinion.
