The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Cinema brings a classic to scene again. In this case is F. Scott Fitzgerald's The curious case of Benjamin Button. Fitzegarld was an American writer who lived at the begining of the 20th Century. He belonged to "The lost generation": a group of US writers who lived and wrote between the First World War and the Great Depression. He is world-wide famous for novels such as The Great Gatbsy or Tender in the night (Suave es la noche).

The curious case of Benjamin Button tells the story of a boy who is born as a baby but he looks like an old man on the verge of dying. He is abandonded by his father, and he is brought up in a nursery home. There he meets Daisy, a young girl and they become friends. As Daisy gets older, Benjamin gets younger and they fall in love with each other...

Have you seen the movie? Did you like it? Do you think it would be better if we were born as old people and we died as babies?

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?
