Twilight (On DVD 3/21/09)
I've heard so many good things about the book "Twilight" so I decided to give it a try and I couldn't put it down! It's also come to my attention that the movie version is coming out 12/12 of this year. I was wondering if there were any other Twlight fans on Intercot.

Oh my gosh! I am a huge fan too. I started reading the series after a friend suggested it since I was going through Harry Potter withdrawl. I couldn't put them down. I can't wait for Breaking Dawn to come out on August 2nd...less than a month to go! I am also excited about the movie.
Are you an Edward or Jacob fan? I am all about Edward!

Can someone tell me what Twilight is about? I really am not sure what it is or is about...

LOL oh no! Not another Edward lover! J/J..
My daughter knows I love vampire books so she insisited that I read it. She forgot to tell me what a love stoy it is though. I kept wanting it to turn more vampire/less love. I really wanted Edward or someone else in his family to lose control and kill Bella in a rage .. then Edward could play the psycho, tormented vampire. But alas.. their love is too strong. Its an interesting read but unlike Harry Potter I dont see it grabbing, lets just say a more "mature" audience - this one was all but made for teen girls.
Regardless of how I feel about it (after all Im a Mom) every girl from 12-18 are reading these books around here and eagerly awaiting the movie. Speaking of which I thought the guy who played Cedric in Harry Potter was an interesting choice for Edward. Not quite who I pictured in my head.
Am I the only one who gets a little creeped out by the fact that Edward is a 100 year old guy macking on a teenage girl? I know hes trapped in an eternal 18 YO body but he is OLD! I might have enjoyed the book more if I had been able to get that fact out of the front of my mind while reading it.

Fellow Twilighter here. I got pulled in after a few friends of mine started reading the saga. Now I'm hooked. There's actually a small group of us planning to go to the midnight release party for Breaking Dawn at our local Borders store. While I love Jacob, he annoys me sometimes and I am definitely more of a Team Edward girl. We're even making t-shirts and Bella bracelet's for the party.

The guy from Shark Boy and Lava Girl is starring in it - Taylor Laudner. He's grown up! He's also a big black belt (on YouTube) competitor. On YouTube, they also have a lot of clips and interviews about the movie.

Love Twilight
I am a huge fan of the twilight series. I am also eagerly counting down the days for Breaking Dawn to be released in August-I have it pre-ordered. December seems like forever away to see the movie.
Definitely an Edward fan!
I love romantic vampire novels. Does anyone have any suggestions for another series/books that are similar?

I've heard that the Vampire Diaries are supposed to be good as well, but I haven't read them yet.

Try the sookie stackhouse books (by Charlaine Harris) they are good. I also like the Queen Betsy series (undead and unwed) Both these series are more adult than Twilight but good reads. They have some romance and good story lines too. Both have other supernatural creatures in the series as well. I tried to read the anita blake series but didn't care for it.

Are you an Edward or Jacob fan? I am all about Edward!
I'm also a big Harry Potter fan and this is the first series I've actually become attached to since then. I only started reading the second book today but I'm an Edward fan all the way. I kind of feel bad for Jacob.
Its an interesting read but unlike Harry Potter I dont see it grabbing, lets just say a more "mature" audience - this one was all but made for teen girls.
Speaking of which I thought the guy who played Cedric in Harry Potter was an interesting choice for Edward.

I agree, this one is more mature than HP. It's more a love story than anything. I was also suprised to see an HP actor in the Twilight series, he's not exactly what I expected but he fits. It's a little creepy to think he's really that old but I got over it, he's too charming to not like.
There's actually a small group of us planning to go to the midnight release party for Breaking Dawn at our local Borders store.
I just went to the buy the second book today and saw the 4th one was coming out already! I need to catch up on my reading.
I can't wait for the movie to come out now. The teaser trailer is way to short, I need to see more, haha.

I would disagree. I am 27 and am totally enthralled. The friend who suggested it to me is 32 and one of my friends at church who is in her early 40's is also hooked. I think these books basically appeal to the romantics of the world. I mean look at Edward...other than the fact that he could kill you at any moment, he is a dream guy. It's just like movies such as Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast appealing to adults. It doesn't appeal to all adults, but lots of adults love them...

I read Twilight last fall at the suggestion of a friend/co-worker (librarian) who loves the series. I'm not sure how I feel about these books. I know I would have loved them when I was in high school, 20 years ago. Many of my students and kids who are generaly non-readers are reading them which I think is great. Anything to get kids reading for pleasure is awesome to me!
I read New Moon and Eclipse this summer back to back, which was probably a mistake bc by the middle of Eclipse, I was sick of it and ready to read something new. The story took twists and turns I didn't expect, but I'm not burning for #4 which I will probably eventually read just to see whether Bella becomes a vampire or not, which I don't think she should, and what happens to Jacob. I'm partial to Edward bc he was the type I was attracted to when I was in high school. I was much more absorbed in Harry Potter than these books and like Rowling's style better. My curiousity is piqued about the Twilight movie which I will see but will probably wait for Netflix. I'm anxiously anticipating The City of Ember movie bc that series is great!

I also fell in love with Edward! FYI: The movie has now moved up it's release date to Nov. 21 (the date that Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was going to be released). I think I like Edward so much just because I love Robert Pattinson who plays him in the movie. But, the books are still really good (I'm almost finished with Breaking Dawn...)!

My teenaged daughter loves these books so I decided to give them a try even though I am not a vampire fan. I am more than halfway through the first book right now and I can hardly put it down. I just love Edward!

This is exactly what happened to me!! My DD15 started reading them and talked about them all the time, so I started reading them. I haven't read a book all the way through since high school, and I finished Twilight in 3 days!! I'm so glad they moved the movie release up...very smart move.
On a side note, I'm still perplexed as to what marketing genius decided that it would be "better" to delay the next HP movie....especially with all the hype & comparisons to Twilight. I don't think delaying it will add new audiences...I think all they really did was tick a lot of people off. But hey, at least the move opened up a slot for Twilight.

I'm a Twilighter too! I love the series. My favorite book is either Eclipse or New Moon. Breaking Dawn was a big disappointment for me. But oh well.
I'm 100% Team Jacob.. Yes, Edward is so amazing and i would die if there was a guy just like him.. But alas, I like warm better then cold.
And I am extremely excited that Twilight got moved up to November 21st. (i'm not a HP fan so it doesn't bother me at all.)
All of our dream can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.
Remember, we must always believe in our wishes, for they are the magic in the world.

DD11 started reading Twilight last week and loves it. Her friend is reading it too. I already bought the 2nd book of the series and will get the other two for her soon.
