Book Review #2 (Twilight the Graphic Novel & Night's Edge)

So I have decided to do Book reviews XD
If that wasnt clear already lmfao I have been in a super read, READ, READ mode and well now I feel like sharing a little bit XD

So for starters the end results to:


I broke down and read it and well I'm quite pleased I already know the story of Twilight but this made it all seem really fresh again and it brought on a few noew aspects of the book which was really cool.

Young Kim added a few different items into the book and it's so subtle and awesome it just ties the book together nicely.
So all in all like I had previously noted its a really good visual stimulant and the art is well mde and has alot of detail.

Now on to my newest read XD
I was at the book store last night and I decided to pick up a few books after feeling like a turd for losing $5.00 to the slot machine fiasco,
I was feeling too cocky instead of lucky and I mistook that and for that I feel bad XD
I thought about it and thought since yesterday was St. Patty's Day and I'm Irish and it's year of the Tiger and I'm a Tiger I would have LUCK on my side,
in the end I got a rotten Egg.

so back to the books now hee hee this book appealed to me greately:

Night's Edge!
it's 3 books in one!
For some unknown reason I wasnt paying atention to the bigger bold print of the lady
Charlaine Harris and for that I feel like an Ass.
Complete and absolute Ass,
I tried to read "Dead Untill Dark" and well 6 pages in I wasnt feeling it.
I kept compairing it to "Twilight" and things that were wrong and it made me mad.

Any way it was Charlaine Harris's book "Dancers in the Dark" that drew me to get the dang book I didnt acknowledge her name till I got home and started studying the book more.

all it took to make me buy it was the short brief back cover that read:
Dancers in the Dark
by Charlaine Harris
(tho in my head the name was blocked out and fuzzy XD)

Dancer Layla Rue LeMay's childhood prepared her to handle just about anything,
including her aloof partner, Sean McClendon,
a three-hundred-year-old redheaded vampire.
even so, when she somehow acquires a stalker,
Layla Rue is suprised to find that Sean is the only one she can trust...

yep thats all it took and i had to nab it.
my interest in a readheaded vampire struck awesome in my head and I thought okay dancer its a stripper story which is odd but I got it any way.

End result on the stripper story I was dead WRONG!
it was about a group of dancers that worked at Blue Moon and preformed dances for events so they would tango and hip hop and waltz.
totally not stripper action which is what I was thinking XD DOH!

we find that Rue is really liking Sean and his Irish accent and she liked to make him mad becasue it would bring on the accent more so than normal XD

we learn that Sean has beautiful cold blue eyes and had freckles aroundhis under eye nose bridge area which rue found amusing.

I would have to say it was a good read and it gets really intense if you know anything about Charlaine Harris there is sexual burning desire and well it stays true for this story as well.

one thing I am mad about however the back of the cover says Sean's name is Sean McClendon but when we get introduced to him in the book his name is Sean O'Rourke.
other than that tiny little flaw in who sean was I was quite pleased with the book.

It has two other books that I havnt read yet one about a ghost and the other about a missing persons mystery. "Her Best Enimy" and "Someone Else's Shadow" will be the next two I read then I'll be done with "Night's Edge."

Next on my Book read list is a Novel Called Peeps.

till then the book review has been completed.

Twilight The Graphic Novel Book Review Part 1

This is the Twilight graphic Novel and I would like to start out with NO I havnt read it yet I have just thumbed through a few pages and stopped here and there randomly.
From the pages I have read and saw though I would have to say it stays true to the Book.

This is Volume one of Twilight Graphic Novel and I must say the Images are delightful and breath takingly beautiful!

Some of the pages have little hints of color and some are full blown in color most are in black and white but I love how this book has been put together.

Young Kim did an outstanding job on bringing this Book to life from a whole new view.

I dont want to give away all the beauty so I'm only posting a few pics but I do reccomend for all the Twi-Fans out there or hell even just Manga crazed nerds it will make you very happy ^_^

Now for a few of my Not happy thoughts about the book which arnt many so please dont hate me as I said the word not happy and Twilight in the same sentence.

I was expecting the book to be a bit longer than your regunar manga or graphic novel,
I'm happy its not becasue that means there will be maybe perhaps 2 books per Twilight saga volume so a total of 8 books?
I'm roughly guessing I could be wrong there could be more there could be less,
most likely more seeing as Breaking Dawn is a Fatty Fat Pants of a book XD

I was also expecting the hard back to be like the special editions of Eclipse and Breaking Dawn where you pull the slip cover off and the book has the image still on it meh small bs crap any how not that important.

I was kinda expecting a tad bit more substance like how in your traditional manga there are little side notes about the artist and doodles and such,
in the end after cracking open the book I'm really glad there wernt tho.

The pros about this Graphic Novel are just beyond Pro XD

The quality of the paper inside when you open it all the pages are I guess you can say a Semi Gloss its not just recicled paper that yellows after a long time like Mangas tend to do,
I should know the horror of that I own way more than the average Joe.

The art is beautiful for people who love the more human styled drawing vs the big goey eyed anime freakish people.
I love both so I'm not complaining at all I love the big goey eyes but I also like things to be detailed other wise I cannot get into the art or the story for the life of me.

which leads to my next pro!
Detail DETAIL DETAIL there is tons of it all the images I swear its like they pop out at you!

hell if you don't like reading you can just look at the images and be happy
I know I am XD

the book ends during the meadow scene with Bella and Edward
and leaves you really wanting more I just hope to the artist gods and the creator of this beautiful masterpiece it doesnt take as long as this volume took otherwise I think I might die XD.

I hope you like what you see and it is making you prone to getting a copy for your self even if your not a hard core twilight fan or a twilight fan at all I think this will open your eyes to a beautifully Illustrated world.

Now my only worry is,

How many people are going to be at anime vegas this year dressed as the Cullens XD
(yes people its officially a manga its doable in the anime cosplaying catagory UGH)

That is going to be the only thing that gets my goat bad T_T
you can't have it both ways without consequences right?

What kind of can of worms has this opened up now *Sulks*
