I have never heard of this book until the movie came out. I have not yet seen the movie either but my friend said that it was the best movie she has ever watched! Since the last book i've read was one of Dan Brown's novels, i thought it was about time to return to that nice feeling of curling up to a good book. so, the twilight series was going to be that book.
halfway through the book, i feel that my brain is slowly getting numb. the first 216 pages which i have read so far was all about Bella's (the main character) daily routine and how she was so madly in love with a vampire. LITERALLY, there was nothing more than that... she goes to school. tries to find Edward (the vampire) if he's around. she's happy when he's there, she's sad when he's not. and the book is not well written and the story line, very very bland.
the first half is all about how beautiful Edward is. and Bella keeps on narrating this in her head. okay.. i get it.. he's a freakin hot vampire. move on please~ and the way Bella is so head over heels for the guy gets annoying to say the least.. whenever he gets close to her, she feels tension.. whenever she looks at his face, she forgets to breath.. it was like a teenage girl swooning over a rockstar. and of course, this is on repeat for the first half of the book.
i looked back at the trailer to see what i was missing... is this how the movie actually goes? nope, i saw action... i saw other enemies and Edward fighting them. Edward climbing a tree on all fours. not much on Bella's teenage angst.
to sum up, so far, it's a very very dull read... i feel like i'm reading a 14-year-old's love diary. i may end up regretting spending my hard-earned B$22.80 on this book. but what i do regret more is spending another B$22.80 on the sequel already. (i bought them together) BIG MISTAKE. may some poor soul on ebay suffers as i did by these forsaken literature. i think i'll just stick to the movies for the other 2 books.
