Twilight: My Obsession


So I finally got to see Twilight in theaters! It was great, LOVE the movie! But I can say without a doubt that the book is better. Of course I understand they had to condense 500 pages into a movie, but they shouldn't have changed so many things!!! I read somewhere that the movie was designed to be towards a male audience, huge mistake! They left out SO much of Edward and Bella's love and attraction to each other. You can see the chemistry between Kristen and Robert, their kissing scene WOW that was amazing! But all I can hope is that for "New Moon" they give more of what the readers are looking for. Again, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the movie, Edward is my obsession, but you have to read the book. Team Edward!
