I know what you mean. In this instance, I would lean toward reading the books first because you're going to be able to get more details and back story than you would a 2.5-hr. movie. I'm really glad I read all the Harry Potter books before I saw the movies.
Why do they have to make Edward so .... scary looking?! I mean, Jasper and... and ... the other one don't look so scary ... and in the books Jasper WAS scarier than Edward! Alice looks awesome, though!
Only the book series I've ever read -- yes, trumping Harry Potter. (And for me, that's saying a lot.) I've posted ad nasueum about it over the past six weeks so it's got its own tag. (Or 12.) Try 'twilight,' or 'kristen stewart,' or 'stephenie meyer,' or 'edward cullen' or 'bella swan' -- see what I mean? Ad nauseum.
I bet Jen meant to say "best" book series she's ever read. Or "most awesome" or "most addicting and well-written". Cuz I'd say all those things about it, too. You've got to read them, EC!
Ha, yeah, you guessed right. I saw that I'd left the word out after I posted but figured it was obvious what I meant. :) (Especially since I can't shut up about them.)
I have to re-read the first two books (haven't read the third yet, it was some time ago), as I'm not sure I can tell who's who here (other than Edward and Bella). Of the set there, which one was the one that could feel/read thoughts (and loved Porsches :))?
Well, Alice can see the future and loves Porsches. Edward can read thoughts. Jasper can manipulate feelings. Alice (Ashley Greene) is far left; on the other side of Edward and Bella are Rosalie (Nikki Reed) and Jasper (Jackson Rathbone).
You should definitely read Eclipse. It's my second favorite of the series so far. (I suspect Breaking Dawn will change that.)
I know. I'm actually glad I didn't discover this series till they'd already announced the cast because then I was picturing the actors as I read. The pictures are just making me more excited for the movie. :)
