    A book series created by Stephanie Meyer. the books are
    -Twilight
    -New Moon
    -Eclipse
    -Breaking Dawn

    These books are a series about an ordinary girl who finds herself in love with a vampire. The vampire ends up falling in love with her as well, but this brings about problems such as a group of rogue vampires and a group of Itlaian Vampires in charge of dealing with all the World's vampires. this is classified as romance/adventure. I've read all the books and seen the movie.

    they're good, but they're over rated in my opinion. Sure, they are a good read, but they're by no means the best series like people always say. And it certainly doesn't deserve fangirls as horde masses. It's known mostly as a series that girls like, but I was wondering if any of you have seen it or have opinions on it.

    Meyers is also going to rewrite all the books from another character's views. Any thoughts on this? I personally think it's milking the franchise, just like what Blizzard is trying to do with WoW.

    I'm not a girl, and I personally thought the movie was pretty good.

    I heard she was rewriting it from Edwards prospective, but she stopped when it got leaked.

    I haven't read the books, but I have been meaning to do so.

    Shouldn't this be in art section?

    The ads for it kinda give me mixed feeling, i'll probably see it when its on TV though.

    The girl who played Bella is very pretty, however, I think the girl in the book, is s'posed to be just average.

    The writer is Mormon, and two of her favorite bands are Muse and Kasabian.

    Why aren't her books that awesome....? :(

    and Phoe, was it a /ROMANCE/ book, though?

    Also, Ursa, that was awesome.

    And yeah, Meee, it is x3 I liked the books, they were something new from my usual pure action/adventure type jizz, but they're far from the brightest bulbs in the bunch. Still, they're not repulsive, just not amazing as hell like 433546537786 women think.
