Another lame review by me!!

I'm been spending my few days reading the Twilight series and watching trailers about the Twlight movie... Oki, now for my reviews on the books...

New Moon:
Okay,okay la.... I can't really say I like this book as much as the first, but like I said before, it's bearable.... The storyline here is that Edward Cullen-the main guy character(however in this book I wouldn't say the main...) leaves Isabella Swan-the main gal character(in the story she is known as Bella) to protect her from him and his family.
The beginning starts with Bella's dream of her getting old while Edward stays the same.... Okay, I'm giving spoilers!!!! So, I'll just get on with reviews..

I think Twilight is better than New Moon- by A LOT!! and maybe to say that it doesn't make much of a difference if this book ever existed, however, it's still a good read...

Eclipse:
Also okay okay la... The storyline is quite simple, and the main thing is that Victoria is gone, so no more threats from her. However, the fear of the Volturi still exists and is brought forward to Breaking Dawn.

Breaking Dawn:
The storyline here is about Bella's life after marriage and her life as a vampire. This book revolves more on the supernatural side like Bella's daughter-Renesmee, who has a very useful power, and is half human, half vampire. The ending is about the 3 of them living happily ever after. And weirdly, I'm quite happy that the ending is happy... maybe because of Twilight??

Midnight Sun:
The Edward version of Twilight. I would say that I like this version better than Bella's version. Maybe it's because we're seeing from a perfect person's point of view. It's sad that it only has 12 chapters as I really wanted to know how Edward felt when Bella went missing...

Twilight movie trailers:
I seriously can't wait for the movie to be released. I guess the 'Ballet scene' is so exciting that I'm starting to like the story better than before... I love the action!!

Another dumb thing when I read Twilight.... I really have no idea but I kept picturing some Harry Potter characters in the story such as Alice Cullen as Ginny Weasley, and after seeing the trailer, I pictured Edward Cullen as Harry Potter!!! I know, I'm having some brain problems... and lastly Bella Swan as Hermoine Granger... I mean I must have some brain problems... Next, I was so surprised when I saw the trailer as Carlisle Cullen and Esme Cullen are so much different fro my imagnation!! Okay, okay... have to stop before i go overboard with my dumbness....

My lame review on my friend's favorite book- TWILIGHT by Stephenie Meyer

I just finished reading Twilight by Stephenie Mayer yesterday.
Reasons why I like the book(although I can't say it's my favorite book... Sorry to all Twilight series fans!!):
a) The love story is admirable - come on, which girl wouldn't want a guy to protect her at all times, be with her every time, and is super rich??
b) The storyline has action- I love action and adventures...
c) The main characters are admirable- if you guys seen the trailer, you'll know what I mean :)
d)The vampires have supernatural powers- no offense, but all I knew about vampires before reading this book was that they were afraid of light, weak against garlic, and stayed in coffins, and definitely can't resist human blood...
e) The setting- It was set in a countryside, a place where peace can be found, and I like peace, and I'm sure you too :)
f) The main guy character~ Edward- extremely the perfect guy and I'm probably guessing you all think the same way too :)
g) The story is funny- I don't know why, but some parts where it was supposed to NOT be funny or happy, I always laugh... I must have gone crazy:)

Now, the reasons why I don't like this book ( really sorry to all Twilight series fans!!!) :
a) The main girl character~ Bella- She's so hopeless, as in she is too obsessed with the guy... no offense, but she practically took up at least 20 pages trying to ask Edward never to leave her... Come on, the guy also have a life you know...
b) The bad guy- is so similar to every other story I've read... The bad guy always wants to get the main character for something, but then again, isn't that the main reason for a bad guy to appear??
c) The love story is just toooo perfect- come on, in real life, you can't exactly live the way Bella lives, I mean no one can act too perfect, you know??
d) The main guy character- Edward is just too perfect, and is there really such guy on Earth??
e) It ended happily- no offense, but when I first heard the book, I thought there might be some horror, but it was the opposite... and I'm getting kind of sick reading happy endings already... but isn't that what we all want- a happy ending??

You can ignore what I just wrote, I'm just being lame...

Overall, I rate 4.5 over 5- because it's my first book on vampires!!

Tips: Enjoy every first book of any series to the fullest, because the books that follows won't be THAT nice, but bearable of course...

I decided to read New Moon, as there is again another love conflict, and I'm hoping for more funny things...

The trailer for the Twilight movie is rather pleasing.. Therefore I shall watch it, to see if the movie can change my mind about the book to give it a 10 over 5...

~Enjoy everything to the fullest as we don't have anymore time left..~
