something to add to my book collection

It's about the release of
Twilight: The Graphic Novel!
Wohoo!
Twilight: The Graphic Novel, adapted and illustrated by Korean artist Young Kim, will be released in 2 volumes. The 2nd volume's release date has yet to be announced. The graphic novel will be released in hardcover, and will retail for US $19.99 (approx. PhP920.56, although this is likely not the local retail price).

I have to go save up on this one!
Twilight: The Graphic Novel contains selected text from Meyer's original novel with illustrations by Korean artist Young Kim. A rare fusion of Asian and Western comic techniques is reflected in this black-and-white graphic novel with color interspersed throughout. Meyer consulted throughout the artistic process and had input on every panel.
"I've enjoyed working on this new interpretation of Twilight," said Meyer. "Young has done an incredible job transforming the words that I have written into beautiful images. The characters and settings are very close to what I was imagining while writing the series."

why choose a vampire over a normal guy?
to those who haven't read theTwilight Series of Stephenie Meyer...you may not know the answer to the question...and why others might really choose Edward Cullen over the average guy - fictional tho he may be...but what the heck...here are some of the reasons...girls go gaga over the vampire haha...
the last entry is outright funny for me!
found this at twilightsaga
A normal guy would say: “I love you Baby!”
Edward Cullen would say: “You are my life now.”
Normal Guy would say: “I think I am falling for you.”
Edward Cullen would say: “The Lion fell in Love with the Lamb”
Normal Guy would say: “You hair looks like a haystack; go brush it!”
Edward Cullen would say: "Your hair looks like a haystack but I like it.”
A normal guy would pick a random song from a random artist and dedicate it to you.
Edward Cullen would sing you a song he wrote for you while playing the piano.
If you die, a normal guy would find another.
If you die, Edward would kill himself cause life without you isn’t worth living.
"Well, I wasn't going to live without you.." He rolled his eyes as if that fact were childishly obvious. "..but I wasn't sure how to do it. I knew Emmet and Jasper would never help so I was thinking maybe I would go to Italy and do something to provoke the Volturi."
As you leave the house, a normal guy would say: “Bye, see ya!”
As you leave the house Edward Cullen would say: “Come back to me, love.”
He smiled my favorite smile. "Hurry back to me."
"Always."
As you come back to the house, a normal guy would be watching TV and wouldn’t even notice.
As you come back to the house, Edward Cullen would be welcoming you by playing the piano with a song just for you.
"I heard the music before I was out of the car. Edward hadn't touched his piano since the night Alice left. Now, as I shut the door, I heard the song morph through a bridge and change into my lulluby. Edward was welcoming me home.'
A normal guy would wait for you to make him breakfast.
Edward Cullen would make you breakfast everyday.
While you are both out for dinner, a normal guy wouldn’t keep his eyes off the sexy waitress.
Edward Cullen wouldn’t even notice the waitress was a female.
A normal guy, while driving, would keep one hand on the wheel and one hand on the radio.
Edward Cullen, while driving, would keep one hand on the wheel and the other attached to yours.
While far apart in different places, a normal guy would say: “I miss you.”
While far apart in different places, Edward Cullen would say: “It’s like you've taken half myself with you.”
A normal guy wouldn’t care or notice if you had nightmares.
Edward Cullen would sing until your nightmares went away.
"Do you want me to sing to you? I'll sing all night if it will keep the bad dreams away."
A normal guy does it with everyone.
Edward Cullen only does it with one.
A normal guy buys you flowers and chocolates.
Edward Cullen buys you a car.

Breaking Dawn...the final book in the Twilight series

sorry no spoilers here...so you better get your own copy =P
so after a few weeks...i guess a month of waiting for the last book in the Twilight series...I was able to grab my copy one rainy Friday night in Makati (huwat?!? sa Makati pa haha)
and wanted to assuage my curiousity...and maybe prove the "bad reviews" wrong...i've been reading spoilers and criticisms about Meyer's final book in the series...there are good and bad reviews i guess...but hey as the author said...you can't please everybody...why not write your own book and see if that sells over 1.3M copies on its opening day of release haha
so let me just share some of the critics sentiments...and see why they would have thought differently of the final book...
when i was selecting the genre for this review...i was battling whether to still classify this as a romance or just simply as a teens or fantasy book...coz unlike in the previous books...there were not a lot of romantic scenes or even quotes...so maybe that's where the romantics got all disgruntled about...
another point is that...maybe they have not realized thatfor some book series...it would be expected that the plot will growand move into a different direction from wat would be expected...that's what makes the novel even better...it's when you still become surprised of the ending...and is not just any other ordinary preditable series...well it was still predictable in the sense that it had a happy ending...typical Meyer...
so if you guys are like me who are more motivated to buy a book despite reading spoilers and bad reviews about a book...then go ahead and buy this book...
it's worth it!...all the 754 pages of it...
so...I will be anticipating the spinoffs...the movie! (was moved to an earlier release date yey!)...and other things Meyer might be cooking up for her Twilgiht Saga =P
I give this a rating of 4 stars!
and the whole Twilight Saga a rating of 5 stars!
wohoo!

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
I haven't used that in reference to a good read in a loong while...
No....I am not a fan of the Twilight Saga...I even did not know what it was about...until I saw and read this article in the Philippine Daily Inquirer about this book turned into a movie...a much-awaited movie of the books' fans...like all the buzz over the Harry Potter books and movies...no...this is not about a new wizard...but of a teen romance...yeah right so what makes it uniquely different is ...it's a romance between this regular highschool girland an extraordinarily beautiful guy...who's a vampire!hahahaha
huwat?! Buffy is that you?!
yeah yeah I had my apprehensions...but the article convinced me to at least check out the books
of Stephenie Meyer...there has been blogs...myspace accounts made by fans of the Twilight Saga and now a much anticipated movie Twilight that would be out this December...
and when I dropped by Makati last weekend...to kill some time I passed by Powerbooks and checked out the book...it was a good thing that despite its size (ang kapal nya huh!) it's affordable and so I was able to buy a copy...and that night I started reading it...and I even brought it along with me to work the next day to read while waiting for my offical time...that which I rarely do...riveting I tell you...and yup...I hate to admit as i blush and say...Nakakakilig sya eh wahahaha
and you know what has been my gauge that I really liked...loved a romance novel that I've read...is when at some scenes...a lot of scenes...sentimentally sweet poignant scenes... would make me cry...awshucks! and I had the cold! hehe
So if you haven't heard of the Twilight by Stephenie Meyer(Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn)well...I guess you haven't read that muchhaha
I give this...4 stars!
