Read all 4 books. Very long, very wordy but couldn't put them down! The movie was the opposite....felt it was choppy from scene to scene with very, very little character development. You miss a lot if you don't know what's going to happen already. The movie ends with Victoria watching Edward and Bella. Read Book 2 to find out why!
Uneven acting all the way around except for Kristin Stewart. Heard bits of a British accent from Edward from time to time.
