And so the Saga Came to an End

*SPOILER ALERT*

if you haven't read all four books in The Twilight Saga, stop reading here! 

I've just finished reading Breaking Dawn. Or rather listening to it. I have found that audio books are clearly understated. So relaxing and a great way to experience literature. Of course the reader must be good too. And this one was. I enjoyed all four books this way.

And I must say the books just gets better and better. I did find the last one the best. Lots of action and love and stuff. I really loved it, didn't want it to end at all. And Bella finally got her Edward for all eternity. I think this last book was more mature. As I guess the readers grow older, Stephenie Meyer has thought of that. I guess I'm a bit too old for crushing on a 17 (give or take a hundred years) year old vampire, but Edward is just so great. Old fashion and just so awesomely gorgeous. Who wouldn't want to hang with him for the rest of eternity?

Renesmee was a great idea. I loved that Bella bore a child, it made the bond between her and Edward even stronger. As a mother I can relate to the unquestioning love for a child you haven't even met yet, even if it hurts you and makes you feel ill.

Apparently there were a plan of writing Twilight from Edward's perspective but due to illegal publication the project was put on hold. Tough the first draft is found on Stephenie's website. Read more about Midnight Sun here. I'm so going to! Especially read the first draft!

Pattinson doesn't do it for me

I rewatched Twilight yesterday. Had to see if I found Robert Pattinson more compelling or not. I didn't. I don't know what it is, but there is something I don't like about him. Sure, he's a good looking guy and all, but not my type at all. There's something about the mouth I think. And I'm not that impressed by Kristen Stewart either. No, the book is still way better than the movie.

I know that you probably think I'm weird that is not swooning about Robert Pattinson, everybody seems to love him. I swoon about Edward, Edwards in the book.Perhaps Pattinson will grow on me, but I'm still on the fence. You know, even my hubbie thinks I'm weird that I don't fancy Pattinson, since everybode else does... ;)(Ok, yeah so, he's kinda hot on that pic on the left... I'll give you that.)

And also I was annoyed with things that they had missed. I get that it's hard to make a movie out of a book. And I get that you can't fit everything in there. And, sure, it's not half bad, but still... Things that are so important in the book, is not even mentioned in the movie. Things that she doesn't do in the book, she does in the movie...

I'll probably go to see New Moon together with my friend though. Even if I'm already shocked about the trailer. Already in the trailer I can see thins that are wrong. But I'll do it for her. She's pregnant and all... :P

Twilight

I have always had a fascination for vampires. They are always very, very good looking, immortal and despite their cool skin, very hot. I don't really know when I started to be fascinated, or what brought it on, but suddenly I crave them. Everything about them. Could they be real? Is there vampires walking among us? Probably not, but it is a bewildering thought, nonetheless.

I know that people talked about Interview with a vampire quite early, well, I was 14 when it came. But I didn't see it till later. I don't know if it was my fear of the dark and unknown that kept me away from it for a while. It is a great movie which I haven't seen for a while actually, I believe it is time to see it soon. But I did enjoy Dracula before that.

Now the vampires are very popular again. Twilight, True Blood and The Vampire Diaries have seen to that. I really wasn't that impressed with Twilight the movie. It was too slow for my taste, sure there were vampires, but I really didn't see why everyone fell in love with Robert Pattinson as Edward. I really don't find Robert that attractive. After reading the book, however, I can see the fascination for Edward. The novel is so much better. So, I'm hooked. Am going to see New Moon as soon as possible. I already have a date too. :P Perhaps I will change my mind about Pattinson as Edward.

Maybe just the fact that he is portraying a vampire does the trick. ;) It is possible. But I do think the books is much better than the movie anyway. So much get lost in the adaptation. Very few adaptations can do the original justice, in my opinion.
