Read all the books before the Movie came out..due to the movie not being out when I read the books Lol!
I am now collecting the movies as they come out
I saw the 1st Twilight in January this year, then the New Moon in March...but still didn't seem to get into it. But then one of my friends lent me the books in July and even though I'd seen the first 2 movies...because they were a few months ago...I'd kinda forgotten what happened. And once I'd started reading...I was hooked - it was hard to put down. I couldn't read them in a week like some of you's but managed to get through them within 8 weeks (impressive for me since I hadn't read a book since high school and that I have a toddler and baby to look after).
I think the books are soooo much better then the movies - much more detail, so even though you know whats happening next, its still a little different. But I still can't wait to see the Breaking Dawn movies....in 2011 and 2012 - it seems forever away...so for that reason I recommend you continue reading the books otherwise you'll be waiting forever to see what happens...and boy is it good!!! (well I think so anyway).
I watched the first movie when it just came out and didn't know anything about it. Loved the movie. Then I found out there were books! So naturally I had to buy them and read them at once.
Loved the books - but I didn't read Twilight - I thought it might ruin my love of the movie at first. So I just read all the others in about 2 weeks. Couldn't put them down.
I borrowed Twilight from MIL and LOVED it, so went out and bought all 4 books when Target had them on special and read them cover to cover within a week or so, THEN i watched Twilight, New Moon & Eclipse.
The books and movies are completely different but IMO neither is ever going to live up to the other. I like the books and the movies in their own respects.
I can't watch the movies. Just the promo posters are enough to put me off - could they not find a good looking Edward?? And Bella doesn't do much for me either. Bad casting.
However, I really enjoyed the books. Like a lot of the previous posters, once I started I couldn't stop until they were done.
I read the books first, and loved them all (except for the 2nd half of Breaking Dawn, which I thought was rushed and not well thought out). I love the movies too, although mainly for the eye candy. Team Jacob
