Ok...joining in. Thanks to my buddy travelmel for
1) Getting me into this series
2) Pointing me over to this thread!
Now, I have had to skim parts because I get nervous when some of you talk about the series ending. I am about 200 pages away from being done with Eclipse, and I just came back from the book store with the last book in my hands. So, I do not know how it ends, but I should be there in just a couple of days though. I started off reading the first two books like a speed demon. In fact, I even took 10 minute breaks away from my T-Day guests to finish off Twilight. How awful am I? However, now I am actually reading SUPER slow because I am so sad it is nearly over. It feels like book 7 of Potter all over again....
Yet, I did read the 20 page teaser of Meyer's book from Edward's point of view, and OMG, I cannot wait for that to be finished. Wow. That will give me (and dare I say all of us on this thread) something to be happy about... that is isn't ALL over just yet. And I have to say, I enjoy reading the story from his perspective even more. Yum.
So having no knowledge of how the series ends, I am not sure who's TEAM I will end up on.. but right now...
TEAM EDWARD!
I am in love with the love story. Makes me think of my first love... makes me also think of my DH (oh and the boys that were in between!
) Awwww....
Speaking of the DH, I dragged him to see the movie on Friday. We were there at a matinee with a bunch of teen girls. I giggled inside because what looked to be a 19 y.o. girl was sitting next to me alone. She was on the cell talking to her friend before the movie started and commented that this was her SEVENTH time seeing it! She also told her friend that she had just made an appt. at a tattoo shop to get the Cullen family crest on her shoulder. I am going to guess she is just a TAD more into this series than me?
It was funny too because the first time you see Edward in the film as he is entering the cafeteria, she yelled out "oh...ok now...this is it...here he comes..."
Shockingly, DH really liked the movie. I have to admit, the first half of it, I was groaning inside. It just wasn't clicking for me, and I had to get over that some of the favorite scenes in the books were changed/deleted etc.. I also didn't like some of the dialogue such as "chillaxin'"....... the book was a little more sophisticated in language than the movie. But I did get sucked in by Edward's eyes and their chemistry was better as the movie continued on. (Hello, prom dance scene!!!) I imagine if I see it again, which I will at some point, I will like it even more.
Well, I am going to stop here for now till I finish the last book.
Though I had a chuckle earlier as I thought there could be a "drinking game" with this book... take a sip (of blood, no no....there are no vampires!!) every time Meyer writes...
"GLOWERED"
I don't think I have ever seen that word said so much!
Now back to Edward and Bella..oh and Jacob. More later............
