First of all, the movie was better than I expected. They did a great job making it an easy movie to follow if you hadn't read the books yet. They also made it a great addition to the books, because like many have said, if you've read the books than you laugh at some parts that only true twilight-aholics would get.
So there's the question I pose, to read or not to read? I obviously have already the books, so I found somethings just hilarious. My friend who hadn't read the book found it just as fascinating. I recommend reading the books in general, but if you don't, you're still gonna get what's going on.
