but how did you like the final book? I don't know anything about the books really, but I know a whole lot about the final book due to cleolinda. That final book sounds like an absolute scream.
'Safe'
Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.
I was a bit worried about the final book, because I was worried about how Bella's becoming a vampire was going to be, but I liked it quite a lot. Of course, I had complaints here and there, most notably that Meyer never uses one word where 100 will do, and thus some bits really did go on too long, but overall, I liked what she did with it.
Hmm. They had the first book in the clearance racks at the check out line at TJ Maxx the other day and I thought about picking it up. I have to return something so maybe I'll suck it up and try it out.
Just remember, there's no turning back...
I thought the last one was pretty gross.
The important point, and the one everyone (including JOSS) is missing, is that Buffy could kick both their asses. At the same time.
I know a freshman that read all the books -- loved them until the 4th . After reading the 4th she said she was done with the series and did not go to the movie.
I didn't go to the movie, and have no plans to, because I hear they ruined the books. The fourth book was quite different from the others, but I think I maybe even liked it better, although not so much the beginning, which was a bit gorey for me.
I thought the movie was at least 30% better than the book. It did leave stuff out and gloss over stuff, but mostly the things I hated about the book.
ETA: I'm not implying the movie is all that good. 30% over 40% (my rating for the book) is still only 52%...
yeah...no. i can't even take the movie. it's full of bad acting and took out things that i actually enjoyed about the book. what i didn't miss was having to hear Bella constantly describing Edward as "beautiful" and "statue-like". that was nice.
as for the fourth book, i pretend only certain parts of it actually exist. the stuff from Jacob's POV, for instance. well...until he imprints on Bella and Edward's spawn, that is.
