My current obsession…… is……
The latest phenonemon to grip our attentions since the arrival of Harry Potter, similar theme of make-believe creatures, of fantasy you could say. But the difference is that this is about a vampire love story, and Harry Potter is magic for kids. I used to like Harry Potter when I was small when it came out, but this is more compelling I think. I won’t spoil the fun but my curisosity got the better of me, and so I went and got the book even though the film will be released soon. It was that addictive…. I finished reading it in two days! Sure, it has it’s cliches; he wants her but her blood might be the end of her, as well as other factors which either want to keep them apart or dead. Stephenie Meyer’s is a skilled writer in my opinion, as the story keeps you griped from start to finish, always teasing you with the classic ‘will they, won’t they?’ get together, and with a vampire thrown in the equation, death is obviously a presence. Also humour is used with such issues, making things that either should be serious or weird sound almost casual.
The guy who plays Edward has a better role and looks wise, is better than his role in Harry Potter. Sorry, but move over Harry Potter! Lol.
