Is anyone else in here a freak???My friend Libby has been obsessed with this saga since she got the book for Christmas. When the movie came out she took her son to see it & then went herself a few more times. When the movie moved to the cheap theater she talked me into going to see it with her. I was reluctant at first & could care less if I seen it or not. After the 1st trip to the movies she wanted to see it one more time on the big screen so I agreed to go again. At this point she had seen it 6x's & Me 2x's. I have since purchased the DVD & have watched it every day sometimes twice a day. With the commentary & without. I have totally been bitten by the Twilight bug! Please HELP!! ![]() Edited by Jax, Apr 3 2009, 06:02 PM.

I enjoyed the movie...but I enjoyed the books more......I just was not happy for their pick of Edward....don't get me wrong Robert is a nice looking fellow....but he is NOT beautiful enough to be Edward......Robert has a bit of a chiseled look to him....sorry just my opinion....but he did a decent job, I am still not happy. I hope New Moon will be better, since now we get to see more of Jacob . I am on the fence I loved both Jacob and Edward. I don't think they showed the clutsy/almost comical side of Bella. But of course I made the biggest mistake and went with my husband who sat there and talked smack the whole way through the movie.....you know- "Psht, like that would really happen"..SHUT UP and let me enjoy the movie please! Have you read the books???? MUST read the books! LOVE THE BOOKS!!! |

I have yet to read the books. I need to go buy them as Libby keeps re-reading hers so I can't borrow them from her. I did read Midnight Sun, the partial draft that is on Stephenie Meyers web site. Then I began reading the 1st chapter of New Moon that is on her site as well. I am going to read the books though. |

as for Rob. I think he is handsome sometimes.....it depends. Some times I see him & I think ewww..... Other times I am like "Oh YEah" so no I have to say that he is not as beautiful as Stephenie makes him out to be in the book. I totally agree with you. And I think it would've been great if he got to keep his english accent. Although I do have a thing for boys from England

Oh yeah...Love the British Boys I know what you mean...I have gotten flack for not liking Roberts look.....I think it is that he has a nose that looks like he has been in the boxing ring a bit to much....But I will see him and think the same thing....."Not bad looking and then I will see him from a different angle and ehhh-so-so." I can't wait to see what Taylor (Jacob) brings to the table in New Moon. He is almost to "pretty" in my mind's eye to be Jacob....but I can deal with that. I am hoping New Moon will be better than Twilight.....I guess I am still just disappointed with Edward (sorry Robert) and I will probably never cease to throw a bitch-fit about it!! |

I saw this for the first time last night!!! Ok, I was liking the DAD- Doctor Cullen! The other guys were just too young for me to get all in a frenzy over . It was a good story, I've always thought the vampire-theme was hot !Debbie, I SO hear you on seeing it with the hubby. I swear, I was gonna smack the $hit outta him if he said they had bad makeup jobs one more time !!!! I just don't have the time or patience to read the books right now. I did like the movie, though! |

Michelle... when you have a little bit of time, the books are actually a very quick read. I wasn't sure I would them when a friend was encoraging me to read them last summer, but they actually ended up being quite good. I think i actually like the books better than the movie. |

I totally agree the books are a quick read. You will be amazed how fast you fly through them...... I need to watch the movie again without my dude. I always like the books better then the movies....the movies always seem to disappoint me...other than the first 2 Harry Potter's the rest start leaving out to much. |

my friend Libby read all four within a month & a half (she had to order the last 2 from Amazon, she got a better deal). I think when you start you just can't put them down. At least it was in her case. I have to buy them. She said Twilight was only about 5.00 at walmart. I just cant remember to look when I go there. |

I just got New Moon & began reading it. They weather has been beautiful so I can only get thru about a chapter a night since I cant bear to be tied to a book or anything else at the moment. We havent had many great days lately. I hope to be done with it in no time... |

I finished the first book a few days ago. Honestly? I wasn't too impressed. If the author/editors had taken more time with the story, I think the writing could have been tighter, the characters and dialogue more realistic, etc. A few more revisions would have been a good thing for this book. I have the other three (the full set is on loan to me from a Twilight-obsessed friend) but I'm on the fence about starting #2 if it's just going to sound like the first. I am curious to see the movie, though. Maybe it's the sort of story that's just better on big screen...? |

Since my last post I finished New Moon & Eclipse. I liked Eclipse. I am now more than half way thru Breaking Dawn. I am really enjoying these books although things don't often go down how I would like them to. I have not read this much in years! I love escaping into another world that is not my own. |

Finished Breaking Dawn. Great series! I really enjoyed reading these books. I do not however, have the urge to re-read them like many people do. Maybe that makes me weird?? Who knows. I can not wait for the movies. |
