Twilight

Eleven days! That's exactly the number of days! It has taken me eleven days to read the four books of the saga Twilight (Crepusculo in Spanish): Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. More than 2,000 pages in just eleven days! Am I weird? A freaky? Maybe, but I have enjoyed them a lot.
I have never read like this, nor even with Harry Potter. Some days, I didn't even eat, I just read and read, in the train, at home, in bed, between lessons, in the breaks and even walking! Yes, maybe I am a freaky after all.

I have always loved stories about vampires, so when I saw the trailer at the cinema I knew that I had to watch the movie. But surprise surprise, I found out it was not just a movie, it was a book and even more a saga with four books!

The incredible story about Edward, the gorgeous vampire, and Bella, the human caught my attention from the very beginning, and after reading all the books, I just can recommend you to read them. Watching the movie is ok, but there are so many details in the book which are not in the movie that I think it is worth reading it!

So if you don't know how to spend the long Christmas holidays.... this is my suggestion!
Enjoy the Christmas holidays and have fun, I will.... in New York ;) !!




So any comment about the movie or the books? Have you seen it ? Have you read it? What do you think about it? Who is your favourite character?

Hello!!

Well, my name is Eva. I’m 19 years old and study sport sciences on UV. Surely you don't know who I am; I'm not one of your students. But, maybe you know Jessi, from PC. She's your English student. We play football together in the same team and every day, without exception, she remembers me that she has a twiligther teacher. Why? Because I love Twilight so much!

She always says to me that I am obsessed by Edward and Twilight, but cannot avoid it! It is impossible not to be! And so often she has spoken to me that her English teacher has put such a video in class, which if the entire class she has been talking about twilight... Imagine that I never thought that for nothing of the world I would wish to return to a high school class! This class must be so funny! Finally I told myself, “ché! I have to know her!!”

Sincerely, I don't believe that there is in the world a person so extremely obsessed with twilight like me. Madly in love for Edward, and also of Emmett, I can’t deny it; and that I have lost count of how many times I read books and seen the movie! Have you read all the books? The third is fantastic.

So that's it, just wanted to say that! And if you want to talk a bit about Edward and friends, I leave my msn: eva_snj69@hotmail.com

Greetings!

Eva

PD: Forgive my English, but since I stay at the faculty and I don't study English, it's really bad.

Hi Eva,

Don't worry your are not a freaky, or at least, you are not the only one. There are many twilighters around the world!. I've read all the books both in Spanish and in English. Particulary, I've read the English version of Twilight seven times by now, althought yes, the third one, Eclipse, is also my favourite.
I always carry any of the books in my handbag and I read them listening to the soundtrack from the movie in my ipod, so I can undertand you when you say you are obsessed with Edward.
In my mobile I've got a pic of Bella and Edward instead of me or my boyfriend :)
I have seen the movie in English so many times that I know the dialogues by heart, by the way, we have worked the movie today in class. I really enjoyed it!
I recommend you to get the instrumental soundtrack. I bought it in USA last Christmas but you can download it and it is great. It's called Twilight The Score by Carter Burwell. It's even better than the common soundtrack, which is also great!
The DVD will be released on 21th March in USA, I have already pre-order it because it is a special edition with inedit scenes. I suppose that in Spain it will be the same edition... but just in case...
I don't use the messenger now a lot, instead you can find me in Tuenti by my name: Tamara Exposito Ponce. See you there!
