Anyone read the Twighlight books?

[OnEdge]

My mate was really banging on about them and I am tempted to buy the first one, any good?

my dd and her friends LOVE them. all i hear is 'team jacob' 'team edward'! i've personally never read them but i'm not much of a reader. but i do know mums who do and they think they're excellent.

I'd say buy it! you never know, you might become hooked!

OnEdge, there are loads of mumsnetters who are into Twilight, not to mention usernames inspired by the series. Just take a look at the Twi-sluts anonymous threads.

I have to say I have decided to join them, and am avoiding all books, movies and associated stuff because
(a) I am put off that the books are written for adolescents;
(b) I am worried that if I get into it I will become obsessed ;)

Once you start, you just can't stop.

I started to read them when i was pg with DS a couple of years ago, i was pretty much hooked too. The writing isnt that great but the story is lovely Went for a preview showing of Eclipse yesterday and cant wait for the other two part movies of the last book to come out now!

Argh no

I read pretty much everything my children read, so worked through these a few years ago as and when each one came out. I can't stand passive Bella, and the constant references to domestic violence justified by 'he can't help it because he is a werewolf or a vampire', and her boyfriend telling her what to do and who to talk to etc., and later the family values and pro life stuff

ugh

Right, i am so inriued now I am going to buy it.

OnEdge - I have just read the first 3 in the last week. I'm completely captivated and it isnt my usual type of book. It did gtake me back to being a teen with all the angst that goes with it.

Like Dawson's Creek with Vampires and Werewolves

Yeah, they're EXACTLY like Dawson's Creek with vampires and warewolves in them.

I read them a year or so ago, the stories are good enough to keep reading them but they're nothing special there are a lot better stories out there involving all the storylines that this saga have.

if you want to check the books out online before buying im reading 123 at mo

I enjoyed them, but instead of buying, visit your local library. It is free if you don't like the book you have wasted your money.

Never fancied the movies before but my son wanted to watch it and oh my god i am addicted and Edward it gorgeous!

Now i need to buy the books.

Anyone read the "Twighlight" books and been able to spell the title correctly?

They are poorly written, trite, predictable nonsense. I made it through 1 and a half books before slipping into a boredom coma.

Skip the books. Read the fanfic instead. Better class of writer. Often better pairings too.

heard they are chuff.so no,and that pasty faced actor looks like a munter.so no

i have all of them and ive lent them to my bro in law who doesnt read as a rule and he loves them and so do i the movies r g8 to x
