but a couple months later my younger sis got the book and was raving about it so i decided to read it. the writing was bleh. i mean she’s not horrible as many say. she told a very great love story though. i was hooked. i read the entire series in 4 days. not kidding. i’ve re-read it three times. i think that the dynamic between edward and bella is absolutely engrossing. i couldn’t get enough.

after reading the series i watched the movie again and though i love the attempt to bring these two characters to life. i think the acting blew vomit chunks. robert pattinson plays an ok edward. he got the essence of the character but there were some things that were overlooked in is portrayal. his personality is so much more intricate than what they showed. as for kristen stweart as bella. ugh. she looks exactly like bella should look. but she did not capture bella at ALL. it was really annoying.

but like many others said the actors playing alice, jasper, and emmet were perfect.
