i, like most of the people in the world, was drowning in the world of the Twilight. this movie is such a huge box office. i've seen the book long time ago and just realized like two months ago that they have made the movie. i learned well from my previous experience ..never ever try to read any books which will turn into a movie. oh well, of course, how should i know this thing? anyway, it was pure luck that i was able to keep myself away from that book before it becomes a movie.
a couple of weeks ago, i was watching the movie with a friend of mine and i gotta tell you that i love this movie. seriously! it is kinda the "it" movie which you should watch. and with that ..i started to read the books "Twilight Saga". starting from the first book itself called Twilight. before i started ..i would like to tell you that i have the tendency to let my imagination running wild whenever i read a book ..any book. oh yeah ..you can call me a dreamer. it's very easy for me to create an imaginary plots, faces, places ..you name it.anyway, back to our subject. i instantly in love with Twilight. i even dreamt of Edward and Jacob altogether :). and oh, Edward in my imagination is not the same as the Edward in the movie. the Edward in my imagination doesn't really have that muscular body. my Edward has this baby face look since he supposed to be the youngest looking in the family. he's body is slim and light tough he's very strong. it doesn't mean that Rob Pattinson is not good looking ..but he's just not the Edward in the book. kinda disappointed ..but hey, there's nothing i can do about it.
i finished Twilight in 2 days then i started to read the 2nd book: New Moon. it is in this book, i've fallen in love with Jacob. you must've think that i'm crazy ..i mean, i know that Jacob is not as perfect as Edward ..why would i like him anyway? why not Edward? b'coz to me Edward is just too good to be true. i have to tell you that i have this difficulty to accept how perfect Edward is. dunno why. while Jacob ..well, he's more like a guy next door. it would've been very easy for you to find someone like Jacob in your everyday's life. so to me, Jacob is more real than Edward. i really can feel his passion and heartache.
another 2 days were spent to read New Moon before i started with the 3rd book: Eclipse. for which in my personal opinion is the saddest of all. i mean, the way Meyer brought up this sad love triangle is flawless. i'm sure you all feel the same way as i was. the emotion Meyer brought to us was real. the pain, the denial, the love and the hate ..all those collide into this one big twister of emotion. how Edward accepts Jacob or when Jacob decided to leave. it's just too sad. i'd say it was perfectly written by Meyer. BUT ..the more i read the books, the lesser i get to like Bella. there were times where i have to hold my grudges of her. i know that she's not smart (so to speak) and she thinks differently from what the normal people think. she's clumsy and a bit ignorant. but that's not why i don't like her. to me ..she's a bit full of herself. i mean, all she thinks about is her relationship with Edward despite the fact that she has hurted Jacob so badly. not to mention how she doesn't even want to try to decide between Edward and Jacob. and the lamest one is ..she's always worrying when she will become a vampire. and you know in what reason? just b'coz she doesn't wanna be older than Edward! oh pehleaseee!! c'mon admit it ..that's pretty shallow, isn't it? that is the most silliest reasons i have ever known. even in a fantasy book like this. i'd say that she's not only not smart ..but also doesn't have a brain at all. i'm terribly sorry for saying this but ..might as well she's having a blonde hair since she acts like one.
by the end of the 7th day ..i started to read the last and final book of Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. i was soo anxious to read this book ..i can't wait for the ending. page after page ..i started to feel pretty monotone to read this book. i literally skipped a few paragraphs hoping that it will turn into something more exciting. but after a hundred pages or something ..i gave up hoping. i literally feel like reading a cheap novel, seriously. Meyer is a great writer ..you can see from the previous 3 books. but apparently, she failed to satisfy my thirst of a good happy ending. no ..i was wrong ..she failed to satisfy my thirst of a grand happy ending. i'm sooo disappointed. i thought that Meyer would make the world trembling under her arms, just as what Rowling did when she finished the last book of Harry Potter: The Deadly Hollows.who would've imagined that Bella will turn into a vampire due to a dangerous child birth which sounds like the scene when Freddy Krueger tried to get out from Johnny Deep's stomach in Nightmare on Elm Street 1. that's pretty sickening, don't you think? can't Meyer made it a bit glorious for her? and the baby's name ..Renesmee. ooh, that was a total failure!! Meyer was able to create this whole new world of a good vampires with their own special powers but failed to create an original name for a baby, a very special baby according to her. but Meyer totally lost me when she made Jacob imprinted Renesmee. i soo sorry ..but, that was too cheezy. i'd say that she'd better let Jacob dies in a majestic duel with one of those vampires. i'll be very sad if Jacod died ..but he's better of dead than becoming a baby sitter, for crying out loud.
Meyer has to learn a lot from Rowling. at least Rowling knows exactly that she needs to stand on the ground no matter what. Rowling knows when to let her fantasy go wild but she also knows how to stop. she's not afraid to kill her characters (Sirius Black and Dumbledore) b'coz she has to, even if it's making her cry. and when she cried ..the readers are crying along with her. she's not afraid that her readers would be disappointed just because Harry didn't always get what he wants even almost losing the people he loves. why? because that's the reality. i know that Meyer's trying to make a perfect life for Bella. but that's not how it works.
Breaking Dawn might be a perfect ending for Meyer ..but definitely not for me. she made this book for herself and not for her reader, well at least to me. i might be too harsh on commenting her book and i know that i'm just a reader, but i think i also deserve to have that satisfaction feeling after reading a book. once again ..this is my personal opinion. what about you?
