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!!!
I wasnt going to get on the twilight band wagon either but did just beofre christmas and it has now consumed me
I love the books! Yes its not most amazing piece of literature but thats ok with me! Having Ds and baby brain it makes it easier to read lol! I know it was aimed at teenagers but hey I would love to be 17 again so this definately takes me there! And I love a good romance slash fanatsy novel! I woish I could write a novel! She must be doing something right
The books are far better than the movie but you cant cram a whole book into a moive can they, in saying that I would have quite happily sat through 4 hours of Rob Pattinson lol!
Very easy to read so you will get them finsihed fairly quickly! Enjoy! xx
