This would not be a blog, if I did not give you my opinion on Twilight… 
I hate to do this to the blog world, but I really need to give you my two cents on this subject.
1. I am not a die hard fan.
2. I do not have any fan merchandise… (ie. Team Edward t-shirts, seriously?)
3. The books are like candy-coated cocaine. Impossible.to.put.down. Literally.
Now that is out of the way, let me get started.
So I started reading the books before “Twilight Mania” came to rise…
I think it was 2004/2005, a friend of mine who was living in Europe at the time with her family, sent me this 5 page email about how “brilliant” these books are.
I’ve always been a fan of the vampires. I loooved Buffy. Angel was my god. I love Ann Rice novels, etc.
So I decided to give my friend the benefit of the doubt, so she sent me all the books (hardcopy books being sent through airmail, is not cheap… believe me. SO I knew she was serious about how good these books were…)
So luckily it was summertime, because I literally read all 3 books within 2-3 days (Breaking Dawn did not come out until 2007/2008). I literally could not stop reading them… and to be honest with you, NO idea why. I mean no offence to Stephanie Meyer, but the novels are not that well written. BUT the way this author describes the characters and the struggle of this 100+ year old Vampire and the plain jane high school girl, you cannot help but relate and your heart just simply - just simply… melts.
I must confess, I am a VERY emotional reader. I get so in tuned to any novel I am reading that I literally fall into the book. When the character is angry, I’m angry. When the character is heartbroken, I’m going through the Ben & Jerry’s with them, no joke. Twilight was absolutely no exception.
The downfall to this (as if there is only one, right?) I go into this almost catatonic stupor. My brain becomes all muddled and sloppy and I just have such a hard time to deal.
Eventually this feeling goes away, and I become a normal girl again… whatever normal is.
Now don’t get to thinking I was one of those that would go on the internet and get as much info on Twilight as possible, not quite. What I did do however, was recommend this series to pretty much all of my friends. Infact; I even lent Twilight to a friend of mine who was going on her honeymoon, a Mediterranean cruise. She apparently finished it the first day or two she was on the cruise then went nuts because she could not find the other books anywhere and was really upset that I didn’t send the other books with her!
Now, I personally am one of those individuals that thinks making a movie out of this novel is just silly and just downright stupid.
You can’t capture Edward, no matter how much they try to make Robert Pattinson do it.
And I do not even want to post this… but Kristen Stewart as Bella. Seriously? I mean, Seriously?
Ugh. I actually can safely say that she is just.so.awful!
I suppose she physically portrays Bella, very plain jane… but her acting is just so AWFUL. I actually cannot handle it. To be honest I don’t know who they could have casted for Bella, so I will say that Kristen did make a good Bella in terms of looks, but Ugh! Her acting is BRUTAL!
I will say that Robert did an excellent job on Edward for the first movie… He wasn’t crazy buff as that Taylor kid did for Jacob, but he was tall and firm - solid. Like how Edward was supposed to portray. Tall, thin but strong firm, not bulky muscle.
I don’t know if the fame world has really gotten to him (he did choose this life, remember?) but he looks GAWD AWFUL in the second movie. Yes Yes, he’s Edward, very pretty. But he actually just looked so Ew.
He looks downright anorexic skinny. He’s got the paleness down to a T.
But Robert, atleast attempt to look like your not a little twig. The producer company could have done a much, much better job on you. It’s a pity.
Or maybe this was the perfect opportunity to give Taylor AKA Jacob the limelight, because absolutely no joke, everytime Jacob came on the scene - the 10 year old girls in the movie threatre screamed like it was a Teen Choice Awards… I think I am getting too old for that, but it was cute… the first time. After that it was just annoying.
He was beyond delish in the movie. Any girl with eyes could see that.
Looks marvelous for what 16? 17? How I wish I was that young. And NO I am not that old :-p
So to conclude, I do highly recommend the books. If not for anything else, then just for a nice, easy book to read. Its nice to read about young love. However; unpractical it is… it is FUN and can make you feel good and special about yourself J
He is pure yumminess. And his acting is actually pretty much up to par. WAY better than anorexic Edward and plain jane Bella AKA Kristen Stewert… Excuse me while I vomit.
That is my two cents.
