I wanted to see what all the hype was about. I thought the book was okay but definitely something I would have enjoyed more as a teenager. <br /><br />My husband and I just watched the movie tonight. Stayed true to the book for the most part. I had fun watching it because I love watching movies based on books I've read and seeing how they come to life. <br /><br />My husband pretty much summed it up for me. He said Twilight is to today's teenagers what The Lost Boys was to us. Hm. <br /><br />I don't have any interest in reading any more of the series, but I will probably watch the movies. Maybe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798244787749073383.post-4570790939057682472009-06-03T20:26:05.093-07:002009-06-03T20:26:05.093-07:00good for you, jen...i was duped into it. buying i...good for you, jen...i was duped into it. buying it, too.cath chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121005007284461511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798244787749073383.post-69595327877163069452009-06-03T19:07:46.181-07:002009-06-03T19:07:46.181-07:00nah, you're not the last of the species to rea...nah, you're not the last of the species to read it....

And I can see where a 100 year old man might want to (ahem) a 17 year old girl, but fall in LOVE with her like that? Um, no. As we age, we require more than a cute body and ridiculous high school type drama to keep us interested. Since Meyer never gets around to telling us what's so dang 'special' about Bella, anyway, the whole relationship makes no sense whatsoever.AAWGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14431036051894937773noreply@blogger.com
