um's asked me to go see Twilight with her.
We went to the Borders next door prior to the movie, and
I was surprised at all of the "Twilight" books, posters, pendants,
rings, and assorted paraphernalia.

I loved the movie!
I think I enjoyed it more than she did, or at least as much!
I enjoyed the plot, the characters, the special effects, and
the suspense factor.
I am giving "Twilight", 3 thumbs up and a bag of chips!


But then, I have always enjoyed films that are a bit dark.
I did see a vampire book at Borders I plan to go back and buy.
If you enjoy vampires and vampire movies, you might consider
seeing it.

no, I have not read the book.
My companion has read 3 of the books, and is currently reading
the 4th book and she liked it!
She did comment several times that the movie was VERY DIFFERENT than the book.

Does that make it a bad thing?

I've read lots of vampire books, Christine Freehan,.,.Anne Rice,(My literary Idol). etc. I'm more apt to see the movie..The books. I could not get into. LeTigreese is correct in her assumption. To me its nothing more than a teen love story wrapped up in a vampire suit. Then again, people might same the about my book as well but thats not so much the case..oops did I just give out a pat of my book? lol.

If I had to hear one more time how Edward was beautiful or how much Edward was mysterious...I think I'm going to jump off a cliff. Tween/ Teen vampire movies are ok if done right, but this book and movie were done horribly. I truly don't understand why this movie has this much following.

Because Edward is beautiful and mysterious?

Lynnxz, BUT, BUT I liked it.

I have read three of the four.

I think they are a nice, clean and moral read for the intended audience. It's great that there are options out there that are a bit more tame in this genre.

I will likely see the movie but am in no rush.
