There's no question I liked this book--heck, I read it in a week and then NEEDED the second book imediately. Of course, like anything else, there were good and bad. Here are a few of my thoughts:
-Edward must be SO HOT. I can't imagine them EVER doing him justice in the movie. I don't think there was a guy created HOT enough for the picture I have painted in my mind of Edward Cullen (except Mike of course).
-I thought the "love story" was a bit cheesy. Bella wanted to give up her entire life (friends, family, hobbies etc.) to be with Edward. I just think it was a bit much--I guess I am NOT reallly a hopeless romantic.
-The whole idea of vampires was very interesting to me. I loved learning all the information about vampires. Mike and I argue about what a "real" vampire is--he really just makes fun of me for reading books about vampires.
Okay, just a few thoughts...now back to reading...
Have you seen pictures of the guy they cast as Edward? Not even cute, let alone the hotness that should be Edward. There is a facebook group devoted to getting this french actor cast as Edward and he was super good looking. He would have been great.
ReplyDeleteI know, it's Cedric from Harry Potter right? I was disappointed with the entire cast, except Bella.
ReplyDeleteyeah but i'm still going! and yeah jake would just roll his eyes everytime i was daydreaming about edward and bella, or reading the books, i started to really get into the whole vampire thing and that was just something for him to latch on and make total fun of me for!
ReplyDeleteI agree about the inability they will have making anyone look as "inhumanly beautiful" as Stephenie Meyers describes. Good luck, though.
ReplyDeleteI am a little dissapointed that you thought the romance was cheesy!
Wouldn't you have given up EVERYTHING if need be to be with Mike?
I totally bought in to it. I felt I could really relate with my history with Scott. Technically, I gave up "eternity" to be with him, of course it worked out better than that, but I was prepared for it. I KNEW I couldn't live with out him.
