Twilighting

I visited my local library yesterday - has to be one of my most favourite places to go. I spent a while searching the shelves and came away with only two novels, although they both look like quality reads.

Firstly I picked up Haruki Murakami's 'After Dark' - having seen a lot written about this author on the Book Club Forum I felt it was a timely find.

I also picked up a hard cover copy of 'The Painted Man' by Peter V Brett. It's a thick novel and it kind of drew me in after reading about it on a site - although which one escapes me.

I searched the DVD section for Twilight - but alas, no joy. I've been wanting to get a hold of a copy since reading the book a few weeks ago. I've heard various reviews of the film, some say yes see it, others saying no, not if you've read the book, it will be a disappointment. So off I marched to HMV and got myself an HMV limited 2 disc edition - has Edward on the front alone.

I also picked up chocolate on the way home and then settled in to watch.

My opinion - good film. It does miss out a huge deal, such as the hunting, Edward doesn't once roar in the film as he does in the book and I feel it could really be improved upon etc but I don't think this lessens the enjoyment. Glad I watched it - ahem, twice last night actually. Got the special edition second disc to watch later now ;-)
