twilight... the movie vs. the novel

I am done with the twilight-the novel. practically, there are a lot of differences between the novel and the film itself. obviously, the novel is detail in describing things which makes the film is in the "brief" stage. however, i have no problem with that. i love both. there are some plots and scripts however, are the same. that.. will make one flashing back in between the film and the novel. as for me, i watched the film twice before continuing with the second book - new moon and the rest. i actually read the first book - twilight after i'm done with the other three books and of course, i bought the twilight later.. hehehe.

From my opinion, some lines in the film, are better in sound compared to the one in the novel. they did a good job in the improvised version. how did Bella find out about who or what is Edward, the film did it better. Bella's visit to the Cullen's mansion, the film made it more interesting. how Edward picked up Bella at Charlie's for prom is far better in the film.

The scenes where the predator coven - James, Victoria and Laurent hunted the human, are none in the novel. I prefer the film better, the scenes in the film gives extra "ouomph" to the existence of the bad vampire and the "vegetarian" vampire. The haunting and the crimes scene in film also do a great job on the Chief Swan's existence in the Forks and consequently, the "fatherly" character of Charlie.
Charlie went missing at the end of the novel, I don't prefer that.

Twilight the novel, tells about how Carlisle and Alice became a vampire in detail. It also explains why Carlisle and Esme are eager and fond to know that Edward finally found his love- Isabella Swan. So, for the film watcher, to know in detail, Twilight the novel will do the history for you.

Catched few lines from the novel that are in the film. here is one of my favorites line;

"About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was part of him - and I didn't know how potent that part might be - that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him." - Bella Swan pg. 195 Twilight; Stephenie Meyer.

Due to Twilight, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson hit a sudden-fame. Lucky them.
