I give.

I bought Twilight this afternoon and plan to read it once I finish the pile of books I'm already reading. I know it's not going to be anything even close to the brilliance of my beloved Buffy. I just can't resist the hype any longer.

I read Breaking Dawn in one day.

I just saw the movie and loooooooved it. Some of the effects were a little cheesy, but that's to be expected for a low-budget film. I did, however, think the casting was BRILLIANT (except for the actress that played Esme-I couldn't get over the Grey's thing). I want to see it again!

Bwhaha!! If they get as far as making all the books into movies, I cant WAIT to see Breaking Dawn.

I just finished reading Breaking Dawn, after picking up the books last week while I was sick & home from work. I can't believe these books have sucked me in as much as they have, I've barely put them down! I'm going to start re-reading them next, as I have no desire to see the movie. I'm always disappointed in movies made from books I like.

After weeks of watching my high school students sneak this book into class....I gave in a read it....I read the whole book in 24 hours...within a week I had read the whole series!!!!

The movie was good, but could never been as good as the books...

I took my sister to the movie this weekend and she had not read the books....She thought it was the best movie ever and wanted to watch it again...I then bought her the book and now she is happy!

I re-read New Moon this weekend. I got my BFF into the series now and was going to let her borrow my copies, but uh.. I don't want them away from me, lol! I let my Soror borrow Breaking Dawn (the day after I finished it!!) and she's still not done with it yet. BFF is going to have to get her own copies from me as a late birthday/early Christmas gift.

I went and saw the movie and really liked it and am now tempted to read the books. I have to admit, though, that I read the summaries of all 4 books on wikipedia and it seems like the plots get more and more ludicrous as the series goes on... not sure I can handle that.

But I have a huge embarrassing crush on Robert Pattinson.

Yeah they do, especially the 4th book. But they just suck you in, and you don't really care how ludicrous it all sounds.

I read the first two books in two days. I didn't understand how a story about vampires could hold my interest so much, but it totally has. Last night I went to Borders and bought Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. epchick, you're right they do totally suck you in. I have no idea what it is. I also saw the movie this weekend and really liked it. breathesgelatin, I have an embarrassing crush on Robert Pattinson now too.

ETA: on a side note, I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only non-teen who loves this story. I was getting pretty sure I had mentally reverted back to my teen years.

Saw the movie over the weekend, and am on the 3rd book. I'm really enjoying them, but I'm getting to the point where I just want Edward to bite her already and get it over with!!!

So my colleague saw the movie, and someone let her borrow the 1st 3 books. She started Twilight yesterday and is almost finished. She wants me to start reading it tomorrow, and we'll go see the movie together. I sat here & read this entire thread (lol) to see what the hype is about. I'll get back to you guys once I start the book.

The plots do get more absurd, but for some reason I still got totally enveloped in them! The books provide such an easy, entertaining read & they are totally my guilty pleasure books. I was fascinated from start to finish, even during the most absurd plot lines that I totally hated.

AGDee · #**164** 12-01-2008, 07:12 PM

I agree about the absurd plot lines. Then again, the whole concept of a teenage girl finding her soul mate in a vampire is pretty absurd to begin with.

Has Stephanie Meyers written any other books?

Though she might me done with the Edward/Bella storyline, I would love to read more of her writings.

I would love a story about Caralise......He is one my favorite characters.
