Okay all you Twilight fans....enlighten me!!
I need something to read. I want to know what is so wonderful and awesome about the Twilight series. I'm not a fan of the whole Vampire genre, so that already has me second guessing, but I can't help but be curious when I see how many people are just ga-ga over the series. So please, share with me - why should I be reading Twilight and will I like them if I'm not a fan of vampires? I really want to know!!

I agree with Holly. but i still like the vampire genre anyway, lol. the love between the two of them is amazing. I'm so jealous. its hard to explain it without spoiling too much. I'm just in love with these books. I usually really get into books anyway, but these are the best i have ever read, hands down. My mom and i swap books and now she wants to read them. but i don't know if i want to part with them, lol. she'll have to promise to guard them with her life!
Just READ THEM. You won't be disapointed!

I've been thinking about reading it too. Everyone I know says it is just awesome. I will probably pick up a copy to read while we're on vacay this weekend.

I just bought it, but I haven't read it yet. I am hesitant because I heard how addictive they are, and there is no book store near me LOL

Look out Nikki- I've got stones!
 LOL! That's what I love about SSD, you can say what you think and nobody goes crazy catty on ya!I'm STILL reading Twilight- but that's simply because I'm a slow reader and have my hands full with a sick little one- it's really a quick and easy read. I'm enjoying it- the love story mainly (and I'm not usually into that). I agree its like a watered down Anne Rice as far as storyline, and not deep fantasy like JK Rowling, but I still like it! Worth $8 for paperback. HOPING to finish it tonight and start New Moon!

Okay...I'm probably going to get stones thrown at me BUT...I've read the series...and while it was okay...I don't get what is SO amazing about it. I read them b/c my sister who never reads was raving about them so I thought..well if it's got her reading then it must be something. After the first book, I was like what's the deal...I went on and read the others and yes, they were okay, but I read somewhere someone comparing them to Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling and there is NO comparison. Rowling is in an entirely different league as far as writing, plot and character development. I mean...they're really okay but not the best thing I've ever read. I also found myself liking Jacob better than Edward which I don't know if that's what the author wanted or not..she kind of meanders some in her plots.
Please no one stone me or throw me out of the forum lol...

I've read the books - the writing was amusing for a quick read, however if I had a teenage daughter, I'd pretty much be scared/worried if she found somebody as controlling/psychotic as Edward (LoL - and I say this as I was in a control-ish relationship for a few years in my youth) (ducks and covers)

Ok I sat down after dinner tonight, and started reading. I'm into chapter 6 now, and I really like it, partly because it is a quick easy read. LOL

To me, the vampire part was secondary, the love story is what dragged me in.
