Twilight by Stephanie MeyersI just finished the first in this series of books. It is to come out in a film in Dec here in the UK. I couldn't put it down until I was finished!!!Has anyone else read them? I ordered the next 3 immediately!! |

My DD has these books and has read them more than once. She keeps telling me I should read them, but haven't got round to it yet. So many books on my 'to read' list, and it keeps getting longer

What age is your daughter?
I was amazed how this book enthralled me, I wasn't expecting it to. The next 3 are on their way!

I've read all four - I couldn't put them down!
I have heard that the film is less thoughtful than the books and more action but I may have to go an watch it and make my own mind up! I'm on a second read of "Twilight" now. |

I watched some of the trailers AFTER I had read the book it looks okay, I am usually let down by the movie from the book.............we will see.

Gilraen, my DD is 15 next week.
So you think I should move it up my list

I was glad that I had a whole day free to read it or I woukd have gone without sleep to finish it. It is very sweet, uncomplicated and the theme of forbidden/thwarted love evident. The last book I read to hold me like that was The 7th Harry Potter. It is a quick read too

I galloped through all 4 books in about a week  I am a fast reader though.
I too have seen the trailer for the film and I'm still reserving judgement. I have to say I'm disappointed in the looks of the actors playing the vampires. They're not bad looking for humans but it's hard to get a human with unearthly beauty, I suppose (apart from me of course  )

Rob is 'growing' on me I liked him as Cedric Diggory and I can 'feel' the chemistry between him and the actress playing Bella in the trailers.

On your recommendation Gilraen I have just picked this book up in Tescos, I read the first page while I was standing in the book area and wanted to carry on as I walked round the shop  It looks good already - will let you know how I get on

Finished Twilight a few days ago - I enjoyed it, and would definitely like to see the film. I reckon my teenage daughters would enjoy the book and film also

The film premieres here tonight! I've seen a very poor copy but will be joining the queues soon to see the real thing because I love the book so much. The baseball scene looks AMAZING!!!!!
The news is that this film took more money than Quantum of Solace the weekend it was released!! |
| Jobo |
WOW that looks so good!!

I started listening to the audiobook of Twilight today in my lunch hour - I'm hooked! I'm probably half-way through and want to stay up all night to finish it. 
|
| gilraen |
I understand!!!

Well, I downloaded the second book on 18th January and finished it in 2 days. It was so good, I just couldn't put it down. I can't wait until 18th February to download the 3rd, so I bought that at Asda tonight (£4). It'll be worth sacrificing some knitting time to find out what happens next.  I'm hoping this will keep me going until I download the 4th book on 18th Feb. It's like an addiction, I just can't get enough.

I ended up ordering the 4th book, Breaking Dawn, from Amazon because I just couldn't wait to find out what happened. And thank goodness for snow days - it arrived on Tuesday and I finished it today. It was absolutely brilliant. Only thing is, I've been so wrapped up in the story and the characters that I'm almost missing them now IYKWIM.

I know exactly what you mean. The same thing happened after HP, the only relief was fanfiction............
