That's the problem! You just never want this story to end. You will be thinking of these stories for a looooong time after you finish. I still think about it every day and I am trying very hard to not pick up the books again and get sucked into "vampire world" for a few more weeks, haha!

LOL, I'm reading them all again.... and again.... and again :rollseyes

HEHE!

OH GOODY! Twlight Discussion!
I love all the characters and how well they are developed. Stephanie Meyer definitely 'gets inside' the head of her characters.. it really caught my attention. Even though some people have a strong hate for how the books are written, it's an amazing story to get drawn into.. what more could you want!
Now that I've finished all the Twlight books.. I now read stories off of FanFiction whenever I have time. I love reading people creatively twist and turn stories around the main characters.. some are actually quite well written and fun to read.. just have to find the diamonds that are buried in layers of coal .

I just finished reading Twilight about 5 minutes ago..... ordering the next one as we speak!

I just found this discussion and had to join! I had no intention of reading the books but the movie was getting so much hype so I thought I would see what it was all about. So, I am also 27, I read all 4 in a week and a half. I then found out there was supposed to be a 5th book from Edward's point-of-view and it got leaked and now she won't release it so I was very upset. But, I will hold out hope! I love the series!! P.S. I was a little embarrassed because they were supposed to be teenager books then I found out my sister-in-law who is 10yrs older read them and loves them it made me feel better

one my best friends and myself are nearing our mid 30's and we love the books, in fact her and i like a lot of the "teen" books, sometimes their stories are better.. I like books in my own age range too.. i think it's fun to for a short while slip back to those teens days through wonderfully written characters, and there sn't anything wrong with that ;-) for the record I started a twilight fad with people i know and it keeps growing.. people 20's, 30's 40's and 50's ;-)

I don't think I will watch the film. I'm sure its very good but I don't see how they can achieve that level of detail to the emotions and the facial expressions...

ok I feel a lot better now! Because since I read the Twilight series which I am hooked on I have only read "teenage" books! In response to those of you who haven't seen the movie no movie can compare to your imagination. But, I loved it and I fully intend on being first in line to but it on March 21st! HeHe! I will also go see New Moon when it comes out! I heard Dakota Fanning is going to be in that one!

HAHA I can tell you of several people here who will be buying it and none of them are teens lol :biggrin2:

I started Breaking Dawn again yesterday.... and I'm on the bit where Alice has just shown Edward and Bella (who is now a vampire) to their house

 

[Saffy]

It's very "wrong" i Know .. as I'm old enough to be his mother .. but James was an amazing vampire in Twilight!

 

[Saffy]

I love teen books too .. it's just a shame Twilight is so dreadfully written.

as I pointed out to a 30+ yr old friend who loves Edward, Robert Pattinson she feel guilty because he's "too young" i said well at least he's legal, unlike any adults lusting after Jacob who's still a teen..

LOL that is so true I never thought of it that way! Except I do feel a little wrong now because I kind of liked both of them! :biggrin2: Although I admit I was pulling for Edward more!

i like edward better in the books and movie(i just like his character more) but in real life taylor's cuter. i donno, i just don't like the scruffy bed-head look:twitch:. but i really don't like the super long hair they put on jacob/taylor inthe movie-it looks too girly! in the book his hair is like shoulder length.

ETA: have you guys seen this?

Ah Becca no! I've only just read Twilight and New Moon, you ruined it lol!

 

[Numbat]

Aww I had it spoilt by my friends too. Don't worry, you'll still love them!

Ahh they're so awesome! I'm in the middle of Eclipse again. I really thought they would be all girly and romancy and they are but they rock! I actually got hold of Eclipse for free a year ago but I was positive I would hate it so I gave it away!! :shock:

I don't think Breaking Dawn was as good as the others, but because I was already so gripped to the characters and series, I loved it! It doesn't flow as well and goes a bit weird! I also don't like the last bit much at all! But I love Bella's transition into a vampire (since you already know Grace) although the reason that she changes with the whole you know what (LOL!) thing is so weird! It gets a bit crazy.

And just in case you missed my other post, here's my opinion on some stuff

I thought the movie was okay but could have been a lot better! It lacked the 'closeness' that the book had. And yes, the house was all wrong, way too modern (in my opinion)! Also the characters weren't in it enough (like Alice).

The books are really different from each other! As they go on, they get more into vampires and werewolves not school.

I like Alice heaps! Emmett is cool too and Jacob rocks!! Basically all the characters are awesome in their own way. I love all their stories! If any character wasn't there, it just wouldn't be as good!
