I couldn't put the books down, I was so obsessed with them. When the movie came out I was so excited to see it. Clearly it's hard to put all those details of the book into the movie but I think Catherine Hardwicke really did the book justice. I would recommend everyone to see this movie and then you need to read the books if you haven't done so. I'm sorry to hear that Catherine will not be making the "New Moon" movie next year so the next director has some shoes to fill.
