Twilight

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.

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~

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)
