I wanted something to share with my teen so I read the Twilight series because she was crazy about it and I find myself loving this whole Twilight Saga! Now we have seen each movie as they have come out together, before she sees them with her friends, at her request! I am just as crazed as she is( Well, close;-))! These characters are wonderful! They bring the books to life! I would advise any mom to read the books and get into this with your kids or even your friends! Your never too old to enjoy this!!
