So I rented the movie twilight. It's a teenage Vampire book series that is now a movie series. It was not so good. Several people at work had read the books and so had a few other friends that are my age. I LOVE Harry Potter, so why not try it.
I came to appreciate the movie after reading the book, and was WARNED even by the biggest fan of the series that book 3 (eclipse) was not good. I really didn't mind book 3 it was along with the first 2. SOOOO I get to book 4 (breaking dawn) AND ....
I really don't want to trash the series. That's not why I'm here, it's just bad. All writers get a pattern to their books. I pause when I know I'm coming to a portion that is in that pattern that I may not want to get to. BUT this one goes off the deep end and not in 1000 words or less. OK I know I'm reading about Vampires so I really shouldn't expect believability to it.
But it's hard when you cannot even be happy the main characters are together at last!
The story is really good with teens that ACT like teens, and I love fantasy and I really just don't like the turn of the story.
Thanks for listening to me groan about having to finish a series! If you want to read these books and are aware of the story go ahead, they are really not that bad. Just keep telling yourself they are teenagers and it really works. The first half of book 4 is tough though.
I guess I just want other peoples feedback on the books. I'm not sure why it just seems to make me feel better to talk about it. Thanks in advance ot anyone who wants to share!
Hugs, Lisa

Good Morning Lisa......
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm..........my hubbs has been talking about Twilight, I guess lots of folks at work are reading it right now. I'll give him the scoop.
Happy Mother's Day to you too!
Hugs,

I pushed my way through all four books like you and liked them but was not all obsessed with them like others. I liked the movie, but thought is was kinda "after school special" ish. It felt like a made for TV movie that they showed in the theatre. Anyways...Hope you had a great weekend!! Jenny
ReplyDeleteSorry, I can't say I'm even slightly interested in this series or the books...mostly the vampire thing. But, good for you for posting about your thoughts. That's what makes the blogs great sometimes...to see what others are thinking!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa! Thanks for the sweet Mother's day wishes!
ReplyDeleteI read the first book because my daughter begged me to. We went to the movie together and will probably go to the second movie together as well.
I have to agree with you... I found it to be a little flat.... (sorry all you twilite lovers) Sometimes you just have to call it the way you see it.... :)
