twilight series

this by far has beaten my record in reading in succession four books of the same author non-stop; my first being dan brown's da vinci code, angels and demons, deception point and digital fortess. and who would have thought that meyer's "young love, sweet love" (discounting of course the fact that eddie is ancient despite his youthful appearance) would be it.

starting on the 7th of January, when i finally gotten hold of the books, i'm done with breaking dawn as of today. it meant not having much of a life though besides eating, going to work, doing the dishes, starting with the laundry (and find mom finishing it) and reading until i couldn't keep my eyes open anymore.

i'm not sure, but i suspect the stories' charm lies on the its distinct characterization of the vampires. it's almost everything opposite to what bramstoker, or ann rice has filled our minds with over the years: vampires turning more beautiful when hit by the sunrays instead of being burnt to ashes, vampires living in mansions rather than dark caves, vampires fraternizing with werewolves (that phase at will - unlike remus lupin) and humans...sigh...fantastic to the nth degree.

the movie helped. kudos to the casting director. i couldn't place any other faces that would best bring to life the three focal characters but pattinson, lautner and stewart as i read the books.
