alice always appeared to me as a small (5'6 at most) cute, yet beautiful young lady; obviously strong as an ox and uncontrollably magnetic, as the book classifies all the cullens.

Alice is under five feet tall. It's in ze book. =D
Oh yeah, and just a note. JAKE.
I think Edward was selfish too, saying things on purpose to hurt Jake. Neither of them is perfect. I think this is just a personal preference.
I don't like how controlling Edward is. It could be taken as him being protective, but I think it's almost diminiutive. For example, when he comes back in New Moon, he seems to want it to be both Bella's fault he left you know, the whole "You believed me so quickly my love" thing, and then he wanted her sympathy too, trying to be like "It was the greatest mistake" or whatever. It seems like he wants her sympathy, but also to be blameless. This is just my take on it. Having had my share of controlling boyfriends, I feel very strongly about this.
thats an interesting thought zelly! never thought of it like that, but i do agree with you on edwards aying things on purpose to hurt jake, like in the meadow, when he got bella to say that they were getting married so that jake would know to back off. it was a really mean thing to say and if i was bella i wouldve had such a bigger reaction than "oh no! jake overheard!" evs. im over it.
i have to say that alice has to be one of my fave characters. shes always so perky and fun. i like jasper too. and edawrd goes without say.
Jacob, Jasper and Alice.Quote:

couldn't have said it any better.
What do you think Breaking Dawn's going to be like?
I'm so excited! I'm a newbie to the Twilight series but I bought Twilight last Saturday and today I'm almost finished with Eclipse. I honestly just could not put them down!! They are so good.
I like Edward more than Jacob, but I definitely think he gets too controlling at times. I love the element of danger that goes with being with Edward. Meyer constructed Edward perfectly - what girl (little or not) does not want to be protected by the man they are in love with?
Great series! I have a feeling that these will be my travel books (when I travel I like to take a few books with me that I can re-read, kind of like a comfort object)
Yes!!! I'm sooooooooooooooo paranoid that I'm going to read the whole serries all over agian. lol.
Bring this thread to life!!!!! C'mon!!
well, the first three had the antagonists in common- those three vamps that i cant remember the name of right now (wow, and i call myself a twilight lover...), but in the last, the last vamp died. so my friend and i have this theory that those vamps from alaska (again names are gone! gah!) will become more prominent, especially that one that was in love with that vamp killed by the wolves (laurel? lauren?). which should be exciting. (was her name tara? something with a t...)
is this the last book (besides midnight sun)? i hope not... it seems too soon to end it like that. bella cant turn in this one. i refuse to believe that shell turn! my friend thinks she will, but i find that if she turns in this one, it will end the series, even if it is the last book.
question my friend asked a couple days ago: what if they found out bella was pregnant before turning her? what would happen to her unborn kid?
I think it's Leah that you're looking for. And I also think that Bella turns in Breaking Dawn. The fetus would most likely die. Ask why and I'll tell you....
I keep waiting for the movie........!
You're not the only one. My friend is going to let me Breaking Dawn when she and her mum get finished with it. *smiles quite proudly*
is it now? is it? is it? aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! *has nervous breakdown*Quote:

I've came across several forums online dedicated specially to this series... so I began reading "Twilight" and at chapter 18 I still don't manage to get what's so alluring about it... It's like a long bad episode of something written by the guy that created "Buffy, the vampire slayer" sorta crap...
Yikes :eek:
It does seem to have quite the cult following. I have a blog which deals with vampires becasue such is one of my interests, and on one of my posts someone mentioned that series and sense then, it has just been flooded with replies all about it.
My firend recently threatedened to 'provoke the Volturi' on me if I didn't read the series and I just finished Twilight. I may not be the best writing ever it is descriptive. Also if you notice most of 'the followers' are teenage girls- vampire love stories are very attractive to them for some reason and after reading a couple of them myself I find that Twilight it really good because it's not very cheesy and doesn't stick to the myths. It makes it seem more 'real' so more girls can dream about it actually happening to them. Anyways, I liked the book but not very much, I will read the other books only because the author has an amazing job of making you want to keep reading. Suspense I think is the word.
I just finished Twilight and I loved it. Yet honestly, I have no idea what made me like it so much. Maybe it was the vampire plot and romance, the adventure, or even the dangerous events. I can not explain why I like it so much, I just do. Just so you know this is 14yr old girl talking, but on my Winter Percussios trip a 18yr old guy told me he owned the books and enjoyed them.
I like the twilight series . Its true that there is nothing special about the books but they are good old fashioned chick lit which dont need much thinking about and the heros dark and mysterious its just one of thoughs things that it good for a mindless read.
I've only read the first book so far, but i loved it! But like drummergal, i'm not really sure why. When i finished the book, i read it for 8 hours without stopping. I've never had a book keep me up that late before. I think i finished it at 6 am. Which i do not recommend.
Now I am almost done with New Moon, it took a while to get into at first but now I really like it. I think that the appeal is definatley the relationship between Bella and the Cullens, and the dangerous situations Bella is always getting into.
Like AdoreroDio says, Stephanie Meyers is really good at keeping you on your toes.
It also depends on who is reading it. Different books appeal to different people. So many people love the Harry Potter books, yet I have never found the appeal, or the same with A Series of Unfortunate Events, I can't stanf them, but that's my opinion. Godiva83, when you say you dislike them, that's your opinion. It you told me some of the books you loved, I might be saying the same thing. That's the great thing about books, there are so many to choose from. If you don't like some theres still more to read.
I guess I would consider myself part of the 'cult following' but I don't quite know why I love the books, either. Previously, I had never picked up a book with vampires or anything fantastical - I stuck to my classic literature - but I decided to try Twilight since a friend told me how good they were. The first one was good, the beginning was kind of slow I thought (girl meets boy, etc. etc.) but as the book progressed, it got better and better. I loved the suspense of New Moon though the plot was a bit lacking, I thought. Eclipse is my favorite one out of all the three. I do think what attracts teenage girls to it is of course the relationship between Edward and Bella - there is such a 'danger' aspect to it. Yet, the Cullens are "vegetarian" so that is almost comforting. To think that vampires can have morals and actually want to be good - that is a unique idea, since most vampires that I've heard of or seen on T.V. are the leechlike, blood-sucking types who just want your soul to prolong their life. It's a different kind of vampire novel, one that even people who don't read vampire novels enjoy... so I think that is part of it.
Is anyone here excited about the movie?
BLOODY HELL
I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THE MOVIE ICAN'T EVEN CONVEY THE EMOTION!!!!
i remember when the official trailor came out i almost had an epileptic fit. I was literally dancing crazily around the kitchen.
here is the official trailor if you haven't seen it yet.

The guy who plays Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter plays Edward *melt*
I love Edward.. how can one not?!?
I have this problem when i get really protective over my books and movies so in some ways i don't want the movie to come out because i will probably scratch peoples eyes out if i find out they haven't read the books but are going to see the movie anyway.. THEY WON'T UNDERSTAND!!!
ahhhhhhh
i am getting all agitated just thinking about it!
I am glad there is a forum on Twilight :)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
even talking about it makes me happy.
I know. I feel the same way. I'm gonna be hacked if they mess up the medow scene or leave it out...
I haven't read that book yet, but I'm intending to this November to see what all the hype is about. Hopefully I'll find something more than an attractive vampire ;)
Read it now!
Okay, so a lot of you know who Stephenie Meyer is, and her books, this place is where the fans and others can chat about the books, clarify, and ask questions that we have about her books.
Like not even an hour ago, i just bought her latest book The Host.
i heard about it from one of my friends who loves her books. i mean,who doesn't she has so much of a way to bring out the imagination! well, i'm on about page 35 and boy is it interesting already!
Drummergal42, you're right!
The love of Edward and Bella and their romance were too much for me... boring..It was all about forbidden love. But New Moon is interesting... I felt it to be a page turner
I've read it, I admit I love it (to my husbands uptight literature horror) but I draw the line there. I don't get all nuts throwing quotes at people. I just like the simplistic style of writing and the storytelling she creates. A good break for me contemporary wise.
okay...so i know there are a lot of Stephenie Meyer fans on here, so....where are you?
fine. i'll start the first discussion.
does anyone not agree with me that they got the wrong guy to play Edward in the movie coming out? Robert Pattison is not Edward in the book!
i want to know how others feel, so please, speak back!:(
Er, well, I haven't read any of the Twilight books because for some reason they are always "sold out" on bookstores but my friend says that he has read it for free online :p I have yet to check it out, though.
As for Robert Pattinson playing Edward Cullen~
http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z...wardavatar.jpg
i understand people like Robert Pattison, but he's just not Edward Cullen!
if you read the books, you'd understand why. he's just not cut out to be like Edward.he doesn't even look like him.:rage:
I don't know about the actor, I didn't even know the were making a film. But I have read the first two twilight books. Not my cup of tea usually, but I quite enjoyed the first one. The second one was rubbish in my eyes, so I didn't continue to read the series.
Something funny, when I bought the first one, the woman in the bookstore went on and on about her love for Edward Cullen. She just couldn't stop yabbering. Amazing, and she told me that her collegue fells the same way about Edward.
That woman seems a bit sad (sorry!). I will read it once I manage to get a copy from the library (you would've thought they'd invest in more than 5 copies for the county)
