don't judge the book by it's genre

told you, it just takes a minute dose for me to be addicted to something.

so i finished twilight in 5 days. started new moon last night ended it this morning. 3 and a half hours later, i finished it. wow. beats my harry potter record

it isn't as bad as i thought it would be. i'm starting to like edward. funny thing is i started liking him the moment he let go of bella. talk about sado-masochism. haha. by now you shouldn't be surprised i love being that way.

it's good i gave this "saga", as monik likes to put it, a chance. and this is exactly the reason why i love reading. it's just the flow, rather the gush of words that pours out to your ear just as if someone were reading it to you. every author has their unique style. and my cousin was right- the way meyer described-sets the ambiance by describing the wakening of bella every morning has got to be the best parts of the book.

and so you see the difference between twilight and new moon. the mark of being a describer immediately wore off and trailed into narrating. and that probably made me miss meyer describing edward's expression in new moon. because bluntly, there was no edward to describe.

backtracking to twilight, the description of the somewhat heavenly face of edward turned from intiguing to just plain annoying. until you realize that (in new moon) that was what you were mostly reading and what you suddenly miss.

of course, my mere irritation of mushy, cheesy lines being thrown by the two characters is enough to know that i'm still not into this love story thing.. but all in all, it is quite different from what i would read. after all, we do have to broaden our perspectives. and for that, i'm giving the saga a thumbs up, after all, he IS a "baduy vampire"

being a far-off genre than what i'd usually read didn't stop me from guessing the twists and turns of the book.

hey, if it weren't 3am, i would be shouting "I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! TWILIGHT PALANG, I ALREADY KNEW IT!" hahaha. so much for surprises. i know i know, i'm such a geek.

on a lighter note, i did have a good day with my cats. I thought kyo was sick. he looked particularly lethargic yesterday. but then again, he is the descendant of garfield. what with looking exactly like garfield. thing is he never let's us touch him.. he probably felt particularly lazy yesterday to ward us off...
