updaaaates.

let's talk Twilight (to finally get this over with). so here's the deal, i first read Twilight way back when. around December last year. exactly a year ago. i do remember that i had issues with sharing my craze over Twilight at that time since there were only two of us in the classroom who knew the existence of this book. and every time i'd try to share the craze over my friends, they'd just smile at me with blank eyes and i knew that they didn't get what my whole reaction to this book was. and a year after, look at my world now. i have gotten over the craze as it finally sunk in me that Twilight isn't that great of a book. it's effects lasted for just around 3 months (the months when i was reading the first 3 books from the series). but now, everywhere i look, people carrying Twilight books, people gushing over Edward Cullen, people saying how Twilight is the best book ever and weird people who actually have delusions on seeing Edward Cullen (LOL). it's crazy how people are suddenly jumping into the Twilight bandwagon. just because of the movie. this is an example situation where the effects of media are highly evident. and now, its our turn, the early Twilight fans (some have even read this book back in 2006) to smile blankly at them and inside our head we'd say "oh, get over it." but i am one of those people who would actually say that to them in their faces. i am quite vocal on how i feel towards Twilight. it sucks. hahaha.

March 2008, i promised i'd be giving a review about Twilight when i finish the whole saga (Breaking Dawn wasn't out yet, back then) but i've finished reading the whole saga, ehm, 5 months ago - but til now i haven't reviewed it yet. cause thinking about writing about it alone is already a drag for me when usually i get adrenaline rush when i write reviews on books. blah. Twilight is such a bore. so, here, this is a book review on Twilight i found over Multiply where i'd agree to the author a hundred percent - FOLLOW ME.

and i don't think the next Twilight movies would sell as much as the Harry Potter movies cause as you see, while Harry Potter movies were shown, the entire series was not yet over. more mysteries and more questions would build up from time to time. people were still very anxious to know what would happen next. and the books that would release between movie releases made popularity even more and more. whereas in Twilight, in the first movie alone, the entire saga was already published. by movie two, everyone already knew what happened. and by movie four (which is around 7-8 years from now?) everybody would already forget about Twilight. LOL. so marketing planners of this book would need to work harder by then. they have to work their asses off to rip you off again. so goodluck to both the marketers and to you.
