There goes another one..

Yes, I have been sucked into the Twilight universe. I bought the first book ages ago and never had that gravitational pull to read it until I saw an article about Stephenie Meyer's recent endeavor being leaked on the internet. I figured if this book was acheiving Harry Potter status, that I should finally pick it up and see what all the fuss was about. I started reading at 8:30-ish on Tuesday evening....

I didn't put the damn book down until I finished it at 3:00 Wednesday morning. I swear I'm an adult and can make the proper decisions on how much sleep I need to function in the morning, but I just could not stop reading. Then I was so upset at myself for not getting the other 3 books to find out what happens next. Don't you worry, I was at Borders the next day after work to pick them up.

The rest of the series didn't do it for me. Twilight was by far my favorite book out of the bunch even though the rest of the books had some character interaction that made me laugh out loud, or dare I write it swoon. I just loved all the characters in the series, even though the plot was not all that complicated. Yes, I know it's supposed to be a YA novel, whatever. Twilight had the feel of the author really loving the book and what she was creating. The other 3 books felt more like an agenda that the reader was put through to get through the contract that the author signed. I still felt the love the author has of the characters, just not a thought-through plot. It was the all-too familiar Harry Potter "let's tie up everything with a nice big bow" (minus some heartache).

I will, however, not be one of the millions in line for the movie. I already have how these characters interact, and look, in my head I'm a geek and will not have the characters defined by the movies ::cough Harry Potter cough:: I had a hard time reading the HP books after watching the movies because it forced my own version of the characters out of my head and was replaced by the actors.

Now with all my babbling about this book, I'm going to be late if I don't finish getting ready to meet my friend for lunch.
