Impressions of a book... (Twilight by Stephanie Meyer)

          You know, I never thought that reading a book would be so exciting. Nowadays, most of the teenagers don't even bother to open a book, much less reading it entirely.

          But, I liked the movie so much and the originality of the story even the way of telling the story, that I wondered if I'd like the book the same way. But I didn't. I liked it better.

          Though the movie has actors and you can visualize the story, the book offered me more details than I first expected. Most of the description parts from any other book are boring and almost the same. Not this one. The main character described every detail surrounding her: the faces, the look of the eyes, the gestures...and in a way that I could never be bored. And I could never leave the book. I wanted to know more and, surprisingly, the details filled me in with everything I wanted to find out. 

          I was in a continue rush and I might even say thirst. It may seem awkward, being a book about and with vampires, but I had a thirst that wouldn't stop. I even had an audible of the book that I listened to on my phone, with my headphones on, on the street, wherever I went. It didn't matter. I just had to now the whole story. It was so fascinating how I entered into that world...the world described in the book. It was almost as if I was there, seeing everything, every detail, every color, every look of the vampire's eyes...My friends told me that while I was listening it on my phone, on the street, with the headphones on, anyone who would pass by me might think I'm a lunatic. That was because I was paying so much attention to the story, that I wasn't paying any attention to the real world, to the people on the street.

          I wanted to get to the end of it faster, but as I was approaching the end, I wanted it to last more...
