So far I love the books I'm on my 3rd one Im just taking my time. I saw the movie twice and I like the book better. They filmed some of the movie by my house0

Really??? I liked the movie a lot. I didn't like the actors they picks for Edwards parents and Rosalie (I thought she should've been way prettier) but everything else was pretty good.
The books are FABULOUS also!
I have an unrealistic expectation of men now thanks to those books!!! :bigsmile:0 -
I read all the books in the series on average of 2-3 days each and keep in mind some of those books are upwards of 7-800 pages, thats how good they are :bigsmile: I seen the first move and am eagerly anticipating the rest but from the first one, the book is still better!!!!0

EEK! I am the biggest Twihard fan ever! I have seen the movie three times, but because I don't like to wastes money I stopped there, haha. I love re-reading the books!
And of course, I am totally in love with Edward. (Dr. Cullen gets hotter every day, though!)0 -
OMG !!!!! My 16 year old is so in love with anything and everything to do with twilight that I truely believe ( at this point in her life ) that there will never be anything that will ever top it. She has every thing and anything to do with it. I must say that I was surprised to see her become so involved with such liturature, but what can I say..... It's all okay , she is 16 and a drama queen
But get this... yes ,yes , yes , me her mother, became some what interested after we watched the movie together at the theater , and then listened at each "pouring out of her heart " to me as she read each of her books. I found It was not long before I was asking her questions about characters and what was taking place quite soon myself . Yes Twilight is OKAY!

you should read them, if she is ok with that. she might consider it 'her thing' and not want you to read it as well - but maybe not. i was like that with my music at 16, then my DAD started borrowing my tapes (yep, forever ago) and i was PO'd!
btw everyone, i met a friend at hot topic last night to give her something. i never go there these days (shoot, i worked at one in phoenix when i was 18...a bit different back then but basically the same) but they had SO MUCH twilight stuff it was crazy!!! maybe i am just slow but i was like, look at this! look at that! hehe. yea, im 33 and love twilight - sue me! :smokin:0 -
I deliberately saw the movie first. If I read the book, then see the film, it can ruin both for me; not so the other way around. Liked the film (though am I the only person who doesn't see the appeal in Pattison?); LOVED the books. POed that the 5th may not come out (the rumours change so much. I'm never sure what's happening with that.)0

I got a copy of a book called Midnight Sun - Edward's Story supposedly by Stephanie Meyers. I haven't read it yet. I have it as a PDF file if anyone wants it.0
-
That's the one! Someone leaked it online and it's NOT the finished version. Meyer doesn't want anyone reading it but doesn't want to finish it now, either. Very frustrating- I want to read it, but until she makes up her mind for sure she's not finishing it, I don't want to read the current version. (Meyer claims it must have been someone close to her who leaked it, as few people had copies at that stage. I swear, anyone does that to me if I become successful, I'd kill them. But take it out on my readers? Harsh, Meyer. Harsh.)0

are you still in phoenix.. i live in phoenix0 -
I haven't read them but I have read the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris and I LOVED IT! It's along the same lines with vamps and were's but there's MORE! My recommendations.
I watched the HBO series "True Blood" based on the book series I am going to start reading that series next.
I guess that book series was written before "Twilight." You have to wonder if Stephanie Meyers was inspired by that series a bit because there are so many similarities...0 -
I love love love the books.
But I am here to tell you that I thought the movie was thing stupidest thing ever. :grumble:
JUST MY OPINION.
I have to agree I was expecting better
I didn't mind the movie, it certainly was not as good as the books, but movies always pale in comparison to the books. I went in with LOW expectations so i think that helped me enjoy it. I always figure there is no way they could put everything from the book in a movie just because the movie would be SO long. I read Drew barrymore may be directing the 3rd movie "Eclipse." That could be a good thing. i love drew...0 -
The other day in psych class I was doing a worksheet designed by the student teacher and noticed the theme. The names of all the people in the character descriptions were Edward, Isabella, Carlisle, Jasper, and then Alice. I asked my teacher where she got the names and she pulled Breaking Dawn out of her bag. It made my day :happy:
P.S. I cannot wait until tuesday! TWILIGHT DVD!0 -

I've read the first 2 books, and have absolutely LOVED them!!! Then I watched the movie, and thought it was killed by the acting... I just don't really like the actors they picked out... But I loved the characters from the books. It's depressing to me when I have really high expectations and then feel let-down... Maybe that's why I didn't care for the movie version? I set myself up for failure.:sad:0
