If you loved the books, you'll love the show. It is surprisingly humurous, filled with anticipation of kisses and attacks, and of course, very romantic. Keep in mind that it is a 2 hour movie and had to be condensed quite a bit. Don't get nitt-picky about little details. (Like the location of James' bite. They needed a better filming location than her palm.) Some things are out of order, but the essence of the story is well intact.
