I haven't seen the movie and found the first book a little *blah* to begin with but after the first third (maybe) I did't want to put it down. When I finished the first I went out and bought the second as it was out at the library.
Love the books hate the movie. You just cant translate such great writing to a 2 hour pithy visual dance for teens. (can you tell Im against books being translated to film? lol)
Go the books forget the movie lol
The movie was crap compared to the books. The books are awesome. The movie lacked substance in the character development I thought, whereas the books, you get drawn in to each character.
The books are great, provided you keep in mind that the writing/editing is TERRIBLE and that it's basically just a trashy romance novel aimed at teenagers. The movie would have been better if the acting weren't so awful (seriously, tell me none of you wanted to switch it off when Edward did the whole 'screwy-uppy-facey-thing' at Bella when she first walked into Science class?!), but yes, the books are much, much better.
They're not stellar or anything, I mean like I said the writing is pretty terrible and it waffles on a bunch with meaningless drivel that could well have been edited out, but you will probably find yourself hooked. I knew it was crap, but I still couldn't put it down I devoured all four books shortly after my mum gave them to me for Christmas
Im glad you made this thread, I almost bought a copy of Twilight on the weekend but was talked out of it by the sales assistant, Im glad I was cause I dont think I would have enjoyed as much as others have.
I ended up buying Julia Morris' new biography, very entertaining, interesting adn even had me in tears at a couple of points, I recommend it.
I LOVED IT!!! I was worried about it being aimed at kids but i am in the middle of reading eclipse for the 2nd time.
Movie sucked arse.....books amazing!!!
