Twilight

[alexandral]

I loved this book. My head is quite light from reading for few hours straight and finishing it in one day but it was so great to have this book-reading binge (and compliment it with a stack of chocolate eclairs) ! YAY holidays! I guess I am still pretty much in love with vampire stories, meganbmoore! "Twilight" is just another prove that a "beauty and the beast" type of stories is my complete weakness.. Especially when the monster in question is aware who he is and tries to stay away and is protective to a very crazy degree. ** sigh **

This book was totally worthy a strange look I got from a "Waterstones"'s book shop assistant when my daughter and I were buying it (and another book, of course, for her - "The Wind in the Willows" :D). The guy was so clearly calculating in his mind - "HMM, you look a bit too old for this, lady, and your daughter looks too young!." HE-HE!!!!!!

Now, would he remember me tomorrow when I roll in to get the sequels for "Twilight"? I am so tempted to do this as they have "buy one get another half price" sale on children's books (where "Twilight" was surprisingly categorised) and I don't want to wait for these books to be delivered from Amazon..

Just a couple of quick questions:

- Not spoilery: Are the sequels worthy of getting a strange look from the shop assistant again? Are they any good?

- Will Edward turn Bella into a vampire one day???

Yes...you have to wait until Marsters talks to get him. Hmm...if we could put his charisma into Orlando Bloom's body, we might have a good Thomas. Maybe. But we probably need someone even prettier.

You know, it may be a good thing the TV series didn't have Thomas. I mean, it'd be hard enough to find someone fairer and almost as tall as Blackthorne(and who could still act) without bringing in the fact that Thomas is also good looking enough to put him in the shade...

BAD, bad thing! :D The show could have survived if all females were drawn to him as butterflies. :D

A very valid point. I'm just thinking of the reactions of the book fans if he didn't live up to expectations...you know, the ones who threw fits about Bob having and incorporeal body, Harry not living in a basement, Murphy not being teeny and blonde, or Morgan being hot and not as vindictive.

I must now ponder the perfect Thomas...

Yep, it seems to be always difficult to appease everyone. I liked the way they made Bob and would have been too difficult to make him fully incorporeal in a TV show..

The Bob thing drives me crazy. As much as I love book!Bob, the simple fact is that you could never have a direct translation of him on normal cable TV. In addition to the fact that most TV actors capable of pulling it off would want their faces to be seen, Bob's mouth would probably get him kicked off scifi.

Yep, I think they did it really good with BOB
