At least in the book it seems to drag out a bit. Also you miss a lot of the characters personalities in the movie. Bella is to passive and boring in the movie. In the book she is feisty, argumentative, and fights with herself about her feelings for Edward more. Edward though he fights with himself is a bit comical, and sweeter in the book. In the movie he is just to stiff and awkward."<br /><br />I couldn't have said it better myself. I think Edward comes off as too moody in the movie. While he is moody in the book, you get to see his lighter side more in the book and I love that. :)Jenni Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403700912436098391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7210198823080081842.post-28950491383324672522011-07-18T10:59:31.643-04:002011-07-18T10:59:31.643-04:00Everyone seems to have a strong reaction to Alice ...Everyone seems to have a strong reaction to Alice this week...they either love her or really dislike her!

Of course if I boy were sneaking into my daughter's room, there would be he'll to pay. But this is a book & a supernatural book, it doesn't have to play by our rules.
