My friends and I all read the book when it first came out, but when we heard the movie was being made we were ecstatic! Yet, Friday morning I got to class and everyone had seen it and were telling me horrible things. But I perservered and saw it, luckily I did because I LOVED it! Duh, it wasn't going to be exactly like the book, but they got the major points across. I loved the actors and the plot, this is the way Stephanie Meyers saw it, so stop hating and just take it as it is. It was awesome.
