    I've read all of them. They get better as they go along.

    I still prefer Anne Rice though :smile:

    Read the very first one to see what the hype was about...Promptly went out and bought the rest and proceeded to read them in about 4 days!!:blushing: Saw the movie twice too!! It comes out on DVD in a couple weeks. New Moon movie comes out end of November this year and Eclipse movie is supposed to come out next summer!! :happy:

    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.

    Ya, I have no interest AT ALL in seeing the movie. I hate it when they take perfectly good books and turn them into horrible movies :grumble:

    It's astounding how popular these books are. Stephen King tore them and Stephanie Meyer to shreds. I found that funny - he was sneered at as a populist writer for so long and now he's making the same insult to her!

    Say what you want, but Meyer came up with some powerful themes in those books that really resonate with an audience.

    Yes! If I ever have a daughter I think Esme would be a great name for her :-)

    Other than that I'm enjoying it so far, I started New Moon last night.

    I'm also reading this series, for sure more adult/mature reading material and life experiences. Don't you think Charlaine Harris is hilarious? Not as funny as Janet Evanovich but good nonetheless.

    I just saw the movie on a flight a couple weeks ago. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting. They changed somethings, but it could have been a lot worse. I had heard a lot of negative comments on the movie so I was expecting it to be really bad, but they didn't destroy the story like some movies do (anyone seen Hideaway "based" on the Dean Koontz novel?? When asked what Koontz thought of the movie he said he would rather drive a fork through his hand than watch it again).

    I reread the book last week and the book is still much much better. I am now unable to stop and am part way through New Moon for the second time. :smile:

    I've read them all (including the unfinished Midnight Sun that was posted on Meyer's blog -- Twilight from Edward's perspective...) and really liked them.

    I've read the Sookie Stackhouse series as well. A lot of parallels there. You might like them.

    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:

    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!!!!

    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!)

    :heart: :heart: :heart: 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 :heart: :heart: :heart: 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! :smile: :smile: :smile:

    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:

    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.)

    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.

    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.)
