Twilight

*twilight spoilers ahead*

finished the twilight series in about 5 hours. haha. reason being i skipped nearly the whole of book 2 which did not have edward in it.

well the story was good, it was a happily ever after with bella finally turing into a vampire to be with her vampire husband. however i felt that there were quite alot of unnecessary parts that makes it quite draggy. would have been better if it was 2 or 3 books only. and anyways, almost all the trouble that happens was caused by bella with her unique capabilities and her unusually sweet blood which tempts the other vampire families.

basically, its a story of a mortal girl falling in love with a vampire guy. and vice versa, of course. there are many obstacles to their relationship, one being edward's (vampire guy) guilt of not being able to give her a normal relationship, and the other being the other vampires out there who are trying to get her. (for her blood and some trouble she caused)

edward had to restrict himself alot physically around her because her blood was alluring to him also, but throughout the story are countless evidences of his protectionism. which, by the fourth book, was getting pretty overly melodramatic and stale. :P

but it was sweet to read about the sacrifices he had made in order to be with her. also he keeps blaming himself for the things that happen to her because of his vampire family or other vampires that are after her. well i can see how it draws the girls into the series.. because of the SNAG appeal; or 'Sensitive New Age Guy'. I cant say i wasnt as well. ;)

so he felt so guilty that he gave her a chance at a normal relationship with a human by leaving for the entire 2nd book, but of course that didnt turn out very well, cos along came jacob, a werewolf. hahaha.

well overall a good read, managed to keep me for busy for some time with the movie and the story. :)
