Quart 2 Flat Side details
So finally, after a long and epic hype about the Twilight saga, I took the plunge…. I read it in two days!
Twilight is such an easy read leaving you bubbling inside with little hearts and cupids flying all around you. It took me back to my first-love and the agony of teenage turmoil. Changing schools, making new friends, forbidden love, hope, fear, excitement and a sense of formidable anguish at the thought of losing someone so vital to your existence – it strikes a chord and I am sure many, many people relate in so many categories – probably why this saga has taken the world by storm!
I have to admit that I saw the film before reading the book – always a bad move, but I enjoyed it immensely. As an adult, you have to take the book for what it is – young, teenage love filled with mythical creatures. I loved it!!! It is so well written and descriptive filling in all the gaps left out of the film (obviously). After reading the book I am now not overly convinced about Robert Pattinson cast as Edward. He’s cute and handsome in many ways, but Stephenie really put the bar high when she created his character. I think Kristen (Bella) is excellent and all throughout the book you can really imagine her voice, face and mannerisms in dialogue and monologue. The story leaves you wanting more, filling you with hope and promise at every turn of the page!
I will undoubtedly recommend this series! An unequivocal thumbs up!
