So, I'm thinking of reading Twilight...

[Sterla]

I've finally decided to see what all the fuss is about. Does Twilight really live up to the hype?

I've seen the movie (well, bits of it in between tending to a cranky baby), and wasn't overly impressed - but I'm assuming the book is better, or that the movie is better if you've read the book???

So, is Twilight really worth the read?

The book is way, way better than the movie.

I thought I would give the book a go, two weeks later I had read all four!!! I loved it and I was so disappointed that there are no more. Definately worth a read.

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

IMO the last book is the best

I have two friends (both last 20's) who have recently started the Twilight craze.

Apparently the books are alot better than the movie, I havn't taken them up on the offer yet as I am worried I will too become addicted and nothing will get done!!

I'd give it 1/2 a book, if its crap give up!
