Eclipse and the books

today, to kill my loneliness and bored, i went to pyramid to catch some movies and to get myself new novels. my mother won't let me at first because she's worried about me walking alone to pyramid since there are many cases of snatch and harassment along the road at my housing area. so, i kept walking close to people's house, always watching my back and walked as fast as i could. haha.

so, today, i decided to watch Eclipse, thought of watching 2 movies but, thinking i'm a little short of money, so, be it only Eclipse then. before hitting the showing time, i browsed for new novels at MPH. hehe. thinking of buying Veronika Decides To Die by Paulo Coelho, but i have a second thought buying it because the book appears quite thin for me. i'm worried i would finish reading it too early. haha. caught newly release novel by Audrey Niffenegger (The Time Traveler's Wife) entitled Her Fearful Symmetry. the synopsis caught my eye and i had a hard time choosing between both. texted my cousin to ask about Veronika's novel. too bad, she replied after i succesfully bought Audrey's. maybe next time. settled for Sophie Kinsella's old novel too. there goes my money. blerghh!!




well....well, Eclipse, for me, was, not bad, but, not that good too. haha. can't give precise comment because everyone's thought is different..hehe :p for me, the story like jumping one chapter after another too fast without proper arrangement. but, i understand that they try to relate the novel as much as they can and squeeze in 2 hours time. and, i guess, the movie not fully highlight the details and the character that much. other characters are important too!! but, overall, i think, it's ok to watch but not with high expectation. but, if you deeply in love with Edward's pretty face and Jacob's body, this is a very saliva drolling movie for ya! haha. this is the problem movies adapted from novel. i tend to be bias and comparative. one may want the movie to follow exactly the book, while another one may want the movie to appear differently with different story line. anyway, i often prefer the book.
