Twilight

So, on a lighter note than some of my last posts, I'm reading the Twilight Series at the moment.

Since I have some time on my hands and am reluctant to start the Steven Erikkson series (which is a tough read) yet I had to find something else to read. My sister had the Twilight series and since I quite like sci-fi, vampire/werewolf and lots of other types of lore I thought I would give it a go. I'm in my second week and on my third book! See, lot's of time on my hands...lol.

I had seen the first 2 films and the books are almost identical....it's unusual for these kinds of films to be kept true to the book (Harry Potter is a perfect example / Eragon too!) but as I recently found out, Stephanie Meyer has kept the rights to the adaptation of her books so I now understand why the films are identical. Very wise of Meyer to do this. If I wrote a book and a Director massacred my story I would be mad!

Anyway, I am on the 3rd book, Eclipse, and I actually quite like the story, probably because I am quite invested with the characters now, but I do enjoy it. The lead character Bella is really annoying but I am over that now. I will write more once I have finished all 4 books but for the moment I would recommend these books...not to everyone!...but definitely to women/girls who like fantasy and lore....gets you away from the real world for a while!

Here's a reason to watch the films ;)
