Kookie Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 I love the twilght books i am on eclipse i can't wait to see the movie of New moon. Quote
Scarlette Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) I downloaded the partial manuscript of Midnight Sun from Meyer's website just now, so I'll be giving that a try as soon as I have it printed. EDIT: Oh, no! It can't print! *pouts* I really don't want to venture into the realm of creepy websites that might have a printable version, so I guess I'll be reading it on my dear ol' laptop.

Peacefield Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Hey Charm, I keep meaning to ask you - have you taken a peak at Midnight Sun yet? Quote
Charm Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Hey Charm, I keep meaning to ask you - have you taken a peak at Midnight Sun yet? Oh yes! Much preferred it told from his point of view, so much better. It explained quite a bit too, even to the point where I started to like B just a little bit I hope Ms Meyer finishes it. Quote

Scarlette Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 I haven't read the entire draft, but so far I like Edward's version of events a lot more than Bella's, too. I think his view of things are just a tad more mature than dear Bella's. Quote
chesilbeach Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 I liked it too - I think it paints Bella in a better light as well, being able to see her viewed objectively. Quote
Kimmy619 Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 I agree with everyones comments. The more I read the books, the more I find myself considering the age difference between Bella and Edward. Although he is in the body of a 17 year old, he has been alive for years. I know that they say that Bella is mature, but he has been alive for decades!! Am I making any sense? I guess that it is best not to think about it.... Quote
Nollaig Posted July 14, 2009 Author Posted July 14, 2009 Edward is a baby vampire. Try Buffy's 16-24 years versus Angels 270-278 years over the course of the two shows Not only, but also, Angel wasn't made a vampire until 1753, making him 27 at the time of his turning, and STILL 11 years older than Buffy.

Scarlette Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 I've thought about the age difference, as well. Especially since I've been reading Midnight Sun. It's quite interesting how Meyer managed to convey Edward and Bella's different "voices" in her story telling. Bella may be mature, but she's still a teenage girl that's somewhat obsessed with her first love and her entire thought process revolves around him. I thought that Edward noticed more things than Bella did and that made his version of what happened so much more interesting. Also, even though he was often anxious in MS, I felt that his "voice" was much calmer and relaxed than Bella's. I don't know if anyone else felt that way, too. It made him feel older to me. Quote

Can't argue with that Roxi!!! In defence of Angel, he didn't give in to Buffy's charms as quickly as Edward and Bella got it on I mean, Edward sneaking in to Bella's room watching her sleep before they were together was a wee bit odd. She didn't seem to mind though! I would have expected Edward to seem a lot older than Bella, but he didn't really in my opinion. Quote
Nollaig Posted July 14, 2009 Author Posted July 14, 2009 Well, in fairness to Eddy, the Buffyverse is 12 seasons over two shows and a movie. That requires a little more depth than 4 books. Time to expand. Though Buffy and Angel were getting it on PG style by the sixth episode of the first season, so.... But yeah, Edward = baby vamp. I could never take the vampires in Twilight to be much more than a metaphor, as there isn't a huge amount of depth to the demonology. It's more like a representation of our 'darker side' and coming to terms with it, hero-style. Quote
Kimmy619 Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Angel was a brooding vampire too, struggling to cope with the things that he had done in the past so there is a big difference between him and young Edward. Quote
Nollaig Posted July 14, 2009 Author Posted July 14, 2009 It makes Angel hotter. Brooding is hot. Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 It makes Angel hotter. Brooding is hot. Oh yeah I agree. I think Angel was my first TV crush, I was addicted to Buffy. I haven't watched it for a while, I think a re-run is in order. I marginally prefer Angel to Edward Quote

I marginally prefer Angel to Edward WHAT! I dont think that I can say I like one more than the other, they are both quite different characters. I agree, think that I need to start watching some Buffy re-reuns although I never did get in to Angel the series. Quote

Angel and Edward are quite similar actually, in the brooding sense and the latching onto a teenage girl Quote
Nollaig Posted July 15, 2009 Author Posted July 15, 2009 Edward is a boy. Angel is a man. Take your pick. Quote
