** spoiler alert ** So all the hype about the Twilight series is true. Being a skeptic from the start, Meyer certainly proved me wrong. Not that the writing is special or anything, but there is something so compelling about these books that I read about 2,000 pages of them. The first two books were less than thrilling, but easy enough to finish, and my sister's enthusiasm for them made me want to know what was really going to happen in the end. It was totally worth it. The series gets good around the end of the third book and you suddenly realize that you needed all that seemingly needless page-age to prepare you for the last 800 pages of books 3 and 4. From the beginning, I didn't really like Bella and Edward's relationship, I mean, who really cares? They looooove each other so much there's no conflict, no realism, no "real" "love". And then once the love triangle is completed with Jacob, you're like come-on, this couldn't be anymore obvious of a plot. But by the end of the third book, the emotional dimensions of each character suddenly become complex and compelling and you want to see what will happen. You begin to understand what "unconditional love" really means and the consequences that it can entail. The relationships between Bella, Edward, and Jacob suddenly become meaningful and confusing. As if you suddenly no longer know who you love and what that love means (as cheesy as it may sound). And then of course, everything happens in the fourth book, wedding, honeymoon, pregnancy, vampire war, etc. But you're suddenly introduced to a new Bella and a new Edward. And as Bella becomes a wife and mother you suddenly can relate to her. She has no idea how to be a wife or mother or vampire and the only thing she has to go on is her enormous love. Yet she remains insecure, and dare I say it, human. The ending of the book is a tad inplausible. Bella becomes the all powerful vampire, and there is no war, no bloodshed...boo.... But you are grateful for the happy ending. All in all, I never would have guessed that Twilight would be a "love story" that I became so emotionally attached to, but I guess it did.

The random number generator seemed to have second time lucky, as it puled up Scoop as my next novel to read. It also seemed somewhat relevant what with the phone-hacking scandal that has been sweeping the UK, and seems to be touching America too. The novel opens following John Boot, an explorer who has written a number of books, visiting his patron Mrs Stitch. She agrees to help him get a position on popular paper The Daily Beast, and Lord Cooper, the owner seems to agree. However, there is a bad mix-up in the office and John Boot is confused with William Boot, who writes the kind of ‘country life’ sections of the paper. William is then whisked off to a country he’s never been to and has to suddenly get good at journalistic practices he’s never needed before. This book was laugh-out-loud funny at certain parts, and I think I’ve come to the conclusion (granted, after only 3 of Waugh’s books) that I prefer his slightly disconnected third-person narrative voice (also seen in Vile Bodies) as opposed to the first-person character voice of Brideshead Revisited. His descriptions were great, really bringing to life Boot’s shambolic journey to Ishamelia, and then the country itself (which seems to be hypothetically situated near Egypt and Sudan). Plus, the characters were all pretty well developed. I was partly gutted that we didn’t get to see more of John Boot and Mrs Stitch, merely because in a few pages Waugh had managed to make them sound fascinating. William made a sympathetic main character, whose innocence actually managed to work for him, as opposed to against in the end. Other colourful characters included Corker, a journalist for another paper with a habit of collecting curios; Erik Olafson, an eccentric Swede; Katchen, an almost-German beauty who provides a brief love interest for William and Theodore Boot, appearing to be another of Waugh’s rather ‘flamboyant’ characters. Scoop is a really fun novel, even if it does ridicule and raise questions about press integrity; Corker tells anecdotes of how previous reporters wrote about uprisings happening in towns where nothing of the sort was going on. It is, however, also a light critique of Marxism-the proposed revolution was to be Marxist supporting, and almost (a tiny bit) supportive of familial rule (a la the Royal family) with Ishamelia effectively being run by the Jacksons forever, quite happily and with no complaints from most of the populace. Politics aside however, Scoop is generally a good book, that deserves as much recognition as Brideshead Revisited. Perhaps now is the time for a television series?
