The emptiness you feel when you finish reading the series is kind of embarrassing to admit; yet true. The movies are mere glimpses of parts of each book and I'll take it! They had tons more money for New Moon so they were able to incorporate much more than the first so I thought it was very exciting. You want to stay in Stephenie Meyer's enticing fantasy world without end. Having portions of it acted out on screen is a way to keep living in that world we love to escape to :-) It's great fun!
