Thanks for the .02 but can you give me a better review. I watched twilight and thought it was bubble gum teen romance tripe. I've heard the book was good so....javaguru doesn't want to waste his time reading crap when he has very little free time.
It's been a while since I've read the books, but I do remember them being a lot less bubble gum teenybop than the movie. That said, they are still young adult novels and are very easy reading. If that doesn't bother you, I think the story is much better told in the books, and you don't have to deal with distractingly horrible acting.
It's a nostalgia thing...I had my own version of the twilight books when I was a preteen (that incidentally is being made into a CW show this fall). I picked one up out of curiosity. They really aren't that bad, but reading them still doesn't put me in the same category as the people who practically formed a religion out of them.
Vampires seem to be trendy again, the CW is promoting their "Vampire Diaries" series that appears to be a ripoff of Twilight....tween brooding vampire.

Vampire diaries is the books I mentioned that I read when I was a preteen...they came 15 years before twilight. If anything twilight is a ripoff of them.
But I can already tell from the previews that they fucked the story up royally lol.
