:lol: i know! i feel there are never enough copies, and [I]every[I]one wants a copy!
well, about edward cullen and people who are so so totally crushed on him...i feel sorry for them!edward is only alive in books...and we're only alive in the real world. but come on! why do people have crushes on fictionary firgures? can someone answer that?
I don't know why that happens, but for some people (me included) reading a good book, is like living another life, being in a completely different place altogether. It has nothing to do with logic and the fact that of course we live in the real world. I had one hell of a crush on Gabriel Oak and still have I suppose. And there was John Thornton from North & South. :) I don't know why, but I love being kind of close to a fictional character and they never dissapoint me.
I guess it is like having Enid Blyton's children as your friends when you are young.
Have you really never ever had that experience ?
I enjoyed reading the first book of the series but i thought that was the best out of the three. I wonder what the fourth one would be like... =]
i understand exactly what you're talking about!!Quote:

Interesting. I never get involved like that in a book-- personally involved, that is. I'm a detached reader. I appreciate a good phrase, an intriguing idea, an involving plot... but I'm aways aware that I'm reading an artistic construct.
It's the same with movies. I'll sit there absolutely absorbed in a good film, but I'm always conscious of the camera angle, the lighting, and the way actors are interpreting a scene.
And I have can still have direct, intense emotional responses in this mode. I'll actually have tears in my eyes.
I love Twilight and Edward (:lol:) but you guys are right, Robert Pattison is attractive, he's just not, um, how can I put it? Edward-y.
finally! someone who agrees with me fully! thank you Bakiryu!
they should've waited until they found the right edward to film the movie!
the person they picked for Bella is perfect, but not so much Jacob...that is not jacob!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Methinks the movie is going to suck. I am almost afraid of going to see it :(
me too! i'm scared to even watch it...especially since the last time i watched a movie of one of my fav books...i had nightmares because of how they ruined the book!!!
Haven't read the series and don't intend to, but this Edward Cullen worshipping bull**** among teenagers needs to be put to an end..
It appears my assumptions are correct when at least two people who have read the book have told me, yes, Edward Cullen is just a "mysterious bad boy *******" for lack of a better way to put it.. Girls just fall for any old jerk, don't they? hah. :P
are you jealous?
just because we talk about him, does NOT mean we worship him! we just feel as if we know him, so that means we can put our opinion in as to who we think has and hasnot the part cut out to be Edward Cullen, and i say Robert Pattison does not!:rage:
I bought the fourth book today, this morning at midnight to be exact. I was one of those idiots. And let me tell you, it was not worth it. It's almost as if her writing style has gone down. By plot I would place them in order, from best to worst like this: 1, 3, 2, 4. By writing style: 1, 2, 3, 4.
Over all, I think that it had potential, but it's kind of gone down. The fourth gets better the farther you read but some of it is just...oh, man, I don't even know how to explain it. It's almost kind of sad. Anyways, I know that many will enjoy this book, but I am dragging through it. :( I was certainly hoping for better. I hope you all enjoy it and make your own opinions.
By the way, I think that Robert Pattinson is a good Edward, really, I do, oddly enough. However, I do not think that Kristen Stewart is a good Bella. I have my concerns more set to her than Robert. I don't know if many agree with me about this, but Bella seems much more...wholesome. But then again, I'll have to judge the movie based upon it's cinematic qualities, because I know, that it's very impossible for them to stick to the book exactly, so I'm over that. I also understand, and I hope more do, that every body has their own images of the Cullens and Bella and Edward and Jake, etc., and it would be impossible for any body to find the true Edward and Bella in our minds, so I look to that optimistically and hope for the best in the movie (even though I made the above comment about my worries for Kristen Stewart).
Er, no? I'm not jealous of an imaginary character. That's pretty ridiculous.
You, on the other hand, need to learn to stop using excessive exclamation points..
haha, Jazz. too funny.
was that a hesitation i see?....and if it's so rediculous, then why even bring it up!!Quote:
