Twilight (Blog #6)

So these past few months, the book to read as been Twilight. I didn't read it at first thinking that I wouldn't like it since everybody else did. I usually don't read on my own unless I'm assigned to. So, I let it go, until the movie came out. A friend invited me to go to the midnight showing so, even though I hadn't read the book like every other person in the theatres, I went, thinking it might be fun. Of course, I absolutely loved the movie and was surprised to hear the satisfactory but not overwhelming reactions around me. I thought for sure everyone would have loved it. Many people said they did but it wasn't as good as the book. I don't think that there has been one movie, ever, that is as good as it's inspiring book. So I thought if the movie was this good, the book must be amazing. I started reading the book and haven't been able to put it down. Of course it's hard to read alot with such hectic scheduals as a teenager but every moment I have, I'm reading. Since the premier, I've also seen the movie two other times and each time thought it was better than the first. I also own the whole soundtrack now and for some reason haven't been able to listen to anything else. It's like the whole Twilight phenomenon (books, movie, soundtrack, apparel) has nicotine in it or something, it's making me obsessed. Anyways, as most everyone knows, this amazing book by Stephenie Meyer starts out with a girl, Isabella (Bella) Swan who moves to Forks, Washington to be with her dad. She is not too enthused about this. She's never like the cold, wet climate, of course it's nothing like the previous climate she lived in, in Pheonix.
