They arent even brilliantly written however, I cant stop reading them - its soooo sad! My DH keeps laughing at me calling me a sad teenager. The other day I finished the first book and then watched the movie for the first time straight after!....

I have read them all, just to see what happens, and the last one was atrocious, felt really let down!

I saw Twilight on a long-haul flight, so only kind of half watched it. I want to see New Moon but am not sure I will get round to it.

Team Jacob for me, and I can't stand Bella. Why does she do all that housework for her father, and Kristen (?) Stewart is not as unattractive as the books make Bella out to be. She also whinges and moans all the time, and I don't get what Edward (or even Joseph for that matter) see in her....

I might read Midnight Sun if it ever comes out....

I am 36!

'The problem is that you're kept dangling with the promise of SEX and it doesn't really happen. I wanted hardcore pornographic details of vampire sex and it was just TOO LAME. I felt cheated...and dirty....and juvenile.'

Buffy and Spike, season 6 BTVS. Now that is proper vampire porn ;)

Yes I have just finished reading Twilight... and ermm please don't compare to Anne Rice, Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles are soooo much better.
I didn't connect at all with the characters of Bella or Edward, and the thing I think put me off was the fact it was all written from Bella's perspective. Oh my God is she ever self-absorbed!
It was definitely lacking in a real feeling of angst. There was much more of it between Angel and Buffy in the first 3 seasons of BTVS. But then Josh Whedon is rather brilliant.
