Jasper Sais Quoi

I finished reading Twilight at 10pm+ on March 30, which was the third day of reading it. I already wrote down my opinions in the article, Tantalizing Twilight, when I read half the book, and this is written after completing the whole book 100%.

I already knew the story because I watched the movie, and doing a story summary is actually boring, so I'll just list down some stuff that I thought.

There are like too many question sessions. Once or twice is good. Thrice is... okay. Fourth time is lame. Fifth time is irritating. Sixth time is "STOP IT!" But Stephenie Meyer decided to use this question games to reveal about the history and information of vampires. There could be better ways, but I do realise that the book is written in first-person under Bella's perspective, so she knows nothing about vampires and can only source information out from no one but Edward.

Probably the most romantic part is when they hang out together inside Bella's room. The series of scenes that occur before the one where they go meet the parents and before the baseball game. Ahhh, the series of scenes after driving back from that forest and seeing Edward in his sparkling skin under the sun. I think that's the most romantic part, if I'm not wrong.

Bella definitely is louder in the books than she is in the movies. Damn you, Kristen Stewart.

I like how faithful the movie stayed to the climatic part of the book, when after the baseball game, those three bad vampires come (technically, two, since Laurent is not bad), and thanks to the wind, James smells out Bella, and then they quickly flee, and then Bella is brought away to hiding by Alice and Jasper, and then the call from James and the trick using the video tape.

I thought it would be greatly different, but it wasn't.

However, as the book was in Bella's perspective, we don't get to read any fight scene between James and the Cullens. The fight between James and Edward in the movie was boring. I only started getting jumpy after Emmett, Jasper and Alice came.

I thought my favourite vampire was Alice, but actually, I think Jasper is the coolest, partially because of his power, but mostly because he's mysterious and he has an excellent portrayal by Jackson Rathbone in the movies. In the New Moon movie, when he's in school wishing Bella happy birthday, you can see the temptation in Jasper's face just pouring all over the television screen. Jackson Rathbone did really well portraying Jasper. Because of that, I think Jasper's my favourite vampire in Twilight.

There was a poll cast before, and Alice was the most favourite Cullen, followed by Jasper.

Meanwhile, it's interesting how Carlisle believes a vampire's exclusive power is determined by his/her biggest strength in his/her human life. If I became a vampire, I have no idea what my exclusive power might be, because I don't see myself with any biggest strengths.

Maybe I'll be like Caius, with no exclusive power. That sucks.

At the same time, I can see my friends having exclusive powers if they were ever Twilight vampires.

I intend to read the other three books over the course of the next few weeks, if I have the time, because Twilight was great. The movie, however, was a pure disappointment.
