Twilight-The Graphic Novel Volume 2:

I was so excited when this finally came out, i grabbed a copy straight away! I read it in about an hour and as expected I loved it!! I love the way it is only partially in vivid colours it really brings the pages to life during important or exciting times. They only skip out on some of the more detailed descriptions, but manage to actually convey a very close semblance to the actual book but in a much simpler and more fun way. It is great seeing the story as you read it, rather than like watching a film. The artists drawings of the characters are very well done, and i really enjoy seeing it all happen first hand. I really hope there are more coming, as i can't seem to get enough.

Complete submersion into the fantasy world

So i started reading Twilight, as you do, and at first i was just impressed with the way Stephenie wrote. The amazing amount of detail however remote and the depth of emotion displayed on the pages had me mesmerized. I could actually picture the scene, and see myself there. Which i must say was a little surprising to me, as i have no imagination and usually i just read a book to read it and hope to enjoy. This felt different from just the first chapter. I was so engrossed in every word, that i actually would zone right out. Now normally that wouldn't really be a big deal, but with it being the summer holidays and having a 10 year old and a 3 year old running around all day,it was hard to focus, but  i couldn't put it down and i managed to finish Twilight in under 2 days. Now if you ask me, i would say that i did put it down a few minutes at a time, but if you ask my oldest i am sure she would start with the words slightly neglected lol Don't get me wrong i fed them and made sure they had clean clothes and we played outdoors etc, but i have to admit the housework got a bit left behind. I managed to finish all 4 books, including the movie companions in just under a week. I was very impressed with myself, but then i realised that whilst i had fed the kids within the days of that week, i had forgotten to eat anything. I think i smoked more fags in that week than i would normally smoke in a month but at the time i had no idea. My daughter would talk to me and she would have to call me about 10 times to actually get my attention, luckily she has a good sense of humour and just called me obsessed and laughed, but i do feel a bit guilty about that.The thing that makes me laugh and sadly, kind of shows just how absorbed i was, was the fact that by the time i had read breaking dawn i actually called my son Edward a few times...when his name isn't even close lol Luckily, again he didn't seem to notice but still made me and my daughter laugh.
