Vampires

Ok firstly - Twilight. I was kinda late on the Twilight bandwagon, and I watched the film a couple of months ago, which I absolutely loved, and, like practically every other red-blooded female in existence, fell head over heels for Edward Cullen (aka Robert Pattinson).

Yummyyyyyyyy.

And then after watching the film I went out and bought all 4 books, and devoured them all within a week. This would obviously lead one to believe that I enjoyed them, which would be correct - the story is fab and the characters are easy to relate to and likable (or detestable when appropriate!)

BUT... did anyone else think that in parts it was just really appallingly written?! Especially Eclipse - it just seemed towards the end that the author had run out of steam! It was like, oooo a big fight is brewing, oohh the tension is mounting... oh, no, they're all friends now and everyone lives happily ever after?! Seriously?!

Now don't jump down my throat here - I know that Twilight never claimed to be equal to the great works of Hemingway or Dickens or whatever, but it has been compared to Harry Potter, and IMO the Harry Potter books are MUCH better written.

This isn't to say that Twilight isn't fun to read, and if you're looking for something that's easy-going and doesn't take itself too seriously, has romance, action, the supernatural and teen angst all at the same time, then Twilight is perfect.

Secondly:

RAAAA WHAT A SHOW!!! I am totally addicted. I could go on forever raving about this show, but suffice to say, you HAVE to watch this, it really is tres good. It's set in a world where vampires exist openly and live amongst the normal human population. It's quite dark, there's death, sex, love, blood guts and gore, and it's sooo addictive. Check it out, you will likie.

That's all for now folks, see you soonies,
