Twilight - The Novel

Its gonna be a book review to start and it's my twilight book review -


So, lets start with favourite scenes in the book -

- The Meadow Scene -

Now, I know it sounds pretty generic to like the meadow scene but you can't help but love it. It's really where it all started - literally, as in where the author began writing and where the realationship is turly defined as a 'relationship' (for me anyways)

For me, I don't think it was the meadow, as such, that I loved but it was more of what was implied in the visit to the meadow. This is the place where Bella lets Edward know that she knows he won't hurt her, even if he doesn't know this himself. I'm not completely sure what words are used to say this but I loved the fact that it is said. It defines the entrie realtionship for me. It's what its all about.

- The Blood Typing Scene -

This has to be my favourite scene in the entrie book and I'm not sure why is. I love the bit where Edward asks if Bella can hear him and she says something along the lines of no go away. It just makes me chuckle when I read it. I also like the bit where Bella says she can smell blood, it's like rust and salt or something like that and that she finds it sickening or it just makes her ill. I think that is quite an ironic thing to say considering what she asks for most of the books.

*Spoilers (if you have only read Twilight and want to read the rest of the books don't read this becuase it gives it away, alot)*

Bella asks, for 3 and a bit books, to become a vampire, and vampires live on a diet of blood, be it human or animal blood. See the irony. No? Is it just me??

I like the part, also, where Edward decides to drive Bella home. There are no specifics, I just love that he is so gentlemanly. If only he were reakl. If only real guys would do sweet things like that. Ah, well, a a girl ca dream. :-)

- Good Point -

I love how Stephenie was able to get into the mind of a 17 year old girl. I mean, I know that Bella is mature beyond her years and that she has the mind of someone a lot older but I would love to have the talent to be able to get into the head of a girl that is not my age.

- Bad Point -

Sopme of the lines are so incredibly sappy. The book is full of cheese. I know i put the title as a bad point and it kind of is in a way because there is know way that, in reality, a guy would be able to pull off these words. Now it could be contrude as good because it shows off how different Edward is to a real guy, or human guy. I know this section is a little random and not very conclusive but i thought I should say something about the corny lines; which include "and so the lion fell in love with the lamb" quote. Another thing to say about the cheesy lines is that they continue through out the whole series

*spoliers*

like the quote in new moon about 'my life was a moonlight before you'.

- Favourite Quotes -

I can not pick a favourite quote from this book, there are so many.

I suppose the good one that I have mentioned above is in the blood typing scene where Edward asks if Bella can hear him and she says somthing along the line of no go away.

I also love the first time that Edward says I Love You, and i think it is on the way to the baseball game. I like when Bella says I Love You also but I like Edward's better, and i think it's because he says it so out of the blue. I mean, because the book is from Bella's p.o.v, you already know that she is madly in love with Edward.

- A Little Bit About The Film -

(it deserves a mention)

Now the film is very different form the book, and if you haven't read the book and you see the film, the whole relationship is rushed. When you have read the book, you fill in the gaps for yourself, but obviously, if you haven't read the book you can't do that.

Now my biggest disappointment about the movie is that they didn't include the blood type scene and I know quite a few people also feel this way. I have heard explainations of why this scene wasn't included and totally get it, but it doesn't stop the disappointment.

Happy things now!! What I loved about the movie was a scene that wasn't in the book, and that was the field trip scene. I have noi idea why the scene hold such appeal to me, but I think it might have something to do with Edward "hi" in it. I think it oges a little something like this

Edward -"What's in Florida?"

Bella - "Where did you hear that?"

Edward - "You didn't answer my question."

Bella - "Well, you never answert any of mine. You don't even say hi to me"

Edward - "Hi"

Bella - "Floridians. That's whats in florida"

So I think this might be why this scene holds alot of appeal for me.

I also love the adreline rush - you can google it bit. It just makes me laugh.

I love the cast and the people who don't, well, get over it.

Rob is a brilliant Edward and I think that he does a fab job with the accent. American people can pick up the flaws in it, becuase it's there accent. But, me, being British I could tell many problems with it. One issue I have is Edward first "hi" to Bella. It comes out a bit Swedish or something like that.

Kristen is a great Bella and fits the imaginary Bella in my mind. Not much more to say accept, whats with the heavy breathing? It can get a little annoying but I think it shows how nervous Bella is around Edward. So, I agree, have some but there is a bit to much in the entire movie.

I love Ashley as Alice and she also fits my imaginary version of Alice. I was a little unsure aboout Jackson as Japser, but he plays the role brilliantly.

Great castings include:

• Kellan as Emmett

• Nikki as Rose

• Peter as Carlisle

•Mike as Mike

•Anna as Jessica

Just a little about the music - and Twilight has a great sound. Best songs in the film are:

1.Super Massive Black Hole - Muse

2.Decode - Paramore

3.I Caught Myself - Paramore

4.Never Think - Rob Pattinson

5.Let Me Sign - Rob Pattinson

That was my first review and hope you love it
