I have heard my friends at work talk about how much they love the books and they even loaned me the first book insisting I should read it. I never really had the desire to read it, but I went to the midnight show with them last night, not knowing what to expect, I ended up loving the movie! And the first thing I wanted to do when the movie was over was go buy the books! It's so hard to take you eyes off edward, he is soo incredibly hot! I hope they make the rest of the movies!
