I don't read much and my Friends got me the books for my birthday and I READ them all in 8 days! The movie was done I think as well as possible in translation from book to screen. Reading Bellas point of view and the partially written book from Edwards point of view made the movie really good for me. I think they did a great job on casting. Bella and Alice were exactly as I pictured and Edward turned out great. Their chemistry on film is wonderfulI and that's so important. I think Bellas father in the movie was perfect. I can't wait for a sequel. I went to see this 3 times in 3 days! Dont' tell my husband!
