I like the book better, only because you get the whole story. You would understand the movie better as well. Don't get me wrong the movie was great... mostly Edward, but The girl who played Bella bugged me. It's wonderful to see the characters come to life and to see how things happened. It was different in my mind. The movie did not have my favorite little moments or conversations....which got me angry during the movie, yet I will most likely by it when it comes out on DVD. And yes I want to see the next one. Most of my younger friends loved it and are planning on seeing it again...70 million. WOW!!
