TWILIGHT DIRECTOR’S NOTEBOOK: A REVIEW (BY KATIE, AKA LETMESIGN1026)

Last Tuesday, I walked through the door of my local mall. I was on a mission. I had been anticipating going on this outing ever since I had read the news it was being released. I had marked this day down in my calendar, and crossed off the days until the day finally had arrived. It was something to keep me occupied until my Twilight DVD arrived!

As I turned the corner and walked down a small set of stairs, I looked at the “dazzling” display window of the Borders store. There it was: the “Twilight Director’s Notebook”. Fresh out of the box, hot off the press, waiting for someone to pick it up and read it was the very item that had motivated me to go to the mall that day. Once inside the store, I grabbed a copy out of one of the multiple rows of the books, making sure none of the corners of the hardback book were messed up (oh come on, you know you do it too!), and that no one had opened this book before me. I walked to the cash register, bought the book, (I was the first to purchase it that day) and then rushed home. (Seriously, I’m not sure Edward himself would have been able to out-run me!)

    I bought it, and while it’s fun to look at (and an eyestrain) i finished it in about 15 minutes. Like you said, there wasn’t much that i hadn’t already seen, although it was interesting to see the early designs of the characters. Also, why didn’t Emmett get a page? All of the Cullens had a development page except Emmett, who only got a little sketch in the corner! It could have been done so much better; she could have written about what the READERS wanted to see, not what she wanted to brag about.

    I bought the book too, and i agree she did not do it as good as i had hoped and as good as she could have. it is a tiny little book, but i enjoyed it for the 30 mins and its cute. I agree she should have added things like jokes that happened on the set and y she choose to leave scenes out and just cool facts. But i wouldn’t be soo critical, i don’t blame u for beeing upset. I know she worked hard on this book and movie, and she cares so much about it. I know she tried her hardest and thats good enough for me. its a cute little book and im proud of her for trying to give us extra info. Not every movie makes a book like this, yes it wasn’t what we hoped for but i liked it because it is different.
