Okay I've been MIA for so long on this blog... Too bad since apparently J was expecting a post from me about Eclipse. Just to spite her, I shall not post about it just yet. There's this book I found in our school library, Twisted. If you know our library you know that hardly any good books can be found there, for me at least, the exceptions being the Bartimaeus Trilogy and a couple of others. OH YES. On a side note, when I was checking out Twisted and the Boy in the Striped Pajamas or something, I heard these girls asking the librarian to THROW ALL THE TWILIGHT BOOKS OUT. Whoever you are, you are my heroes till the end of time. They told her that there were inappropriate scenes in there (while I was still reeling in awe of their boldness) but unfortunately the librarian said that all the books had such things nowadays -.- I can name a dozen good books without sex scenes all right. Or the thousand other things that is wrong with that series. But no, they insist that shopaholic is a good book and that the sex scenes in it are inevitable parts of life. I bet they just want to read it themselves, or are too lazy to actually find out what is it about. Anyway, back to Twisted. I went to the library because the red cross room was locked and I didn't feel like staring mesmerized at the rainbow door so yeah. From the summary I thought it was a typical book about the guy who was nerdy and after one summer all the girls are on to him. So I thought I'd read it to see how much of a Gary Stu he really was, but I learned that we should never judge books by their summaries. The summary absolutely does not do the book justice. For one, it only describes the love struck and lust-ridden parts at the front that I loathe, but not the parts at the back that I love. Why do I like it, you ask? 1. HE DOES NOT GET TOGETHER WITH THE GIRL AT THE END. When I read it I was like 'IS THIS GUY FOR REAl. It's not a joke, right? He's not going to forgive her in the end right? I have finally found an awesome guy character right?!?!!1!' And it was true. He is awesome. 2. His views are totally similar to mine. Well, I always thought that if I were to commit suicide I'd want it quick and painless, which were his guidelines when he was considering it xD I'd never have the guts to use a gun, though he tried -.- well. I thought the easiest way would be to take pills or something lethal and bam! you're dead. 3. He does not totally pwn his enemies at the end. And I was glad. But the sudden confidence boost was kind of weird.... Still it was awesome. 4. He's not all bad. For one, he refused to have sex with the girl when she was drunk. Anyone who does that in a book is immediately one of my favourite characters. Just because characters like that are an endangered species nowadays. 5. "I had the gun in my mouth and my finger on the trigger." "What stopped you?" "I looked in the mirror and realized that I was already dead." Anyway, I'd recommend you to read it, just try to bear with the terrible parts at the front where he had like a dozen erections. Really. Also, the front of the book cracked me up with its front page saying "THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR CHILDREN." I wonder. Now. For Eclipse. I think that blindingly white snow scene was specifically generated to wake up all the viewers who had fallen asleep or squinted their eyes to avoid the horror of the making-out scene before. All I can say about the overall movie is: - Ring made of 100% authentic vamp skin. - 85% of the movie was murmuring. - Too much making out. I was glad I wasn't sitting in the middle cuz my brain would probably have imploded. - Victoria's eyes are horribly huge. - Never. Again. |
