Twilight

I'll be honest here. The movie didn't entice me. My friend's horrific review of the movie was more than enough for me to stay away from the movie itself. However, the book piqued my interest. I saw a girl reading Twilight in the train and she was so engrossed with it that she missed her stop. So I decided to give the book a chance.

I WAS interested in the beginning, in the early part of the book. But after some time, it began to wear me off. Yes, the characters are all interesting, except for the heroine herself, Bella. She's irritating to me. Should I see the movie, maybe I would scream.

And then, the way Ms. Meyer kept going on and on and on about how perfect Edward is. She glorified his beauty and perfection in every chapter. Edward is so painfully perfect that it is nauseating. The way Ms. Meyer gushed about Edward, one would thought she herself is in love with the character she created.

Overall, I found TWILIGHT to be just about ok. Francine Pascal could've done better though, in my humble opinion. The story is there, Stephenie Meyer need to concentrate more on that rather than perfecting Edward in every sense and aspect.
