They keep going to the bottom of the list since I haven't yet read the books. If the movie's coming out in the theater and I really want to see it there though, I try to get to the book sooner so that I won't miss the movie before it is too late.<BR/><BR/><B>Trish</B> - You will. Later this week, in fact! It's hard to review a book just about everyone else under the sun has read.<BR/><BR/><B>Jen</B> - I did like the movie, although I think it helped that I didn't expect too much from it. LOL<BR/><BR/><B>Melody</B> - I hope you will enjoy it!<BR/><BR/><B>Framed</B> - Charlie did a great job, didn't he? I'd seen too many pictures and clips with Robert Pattinson as Edward not to have an image of him in my head as I read. It was pretty much the same for the other characters too. <BR/><BR/>And I was just thinking the same thing about probably liking it better on DVD. :-) How funny!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-72412423230220263072008-11-23T18:21:00.000-08:002008-11-23T18:21:00.000-08:00Linda - It's getting mixed reviews, I've noticed, ...<B>Linda</B> - It's getting mixed reviews, I've noticed, which is part of the reason I wanted to keep my expectations low going into it. <BR/><BR/>I think that if you aren't a diehard fan of the Twilight series, waiting to catch it on DVD is a good idea. <BR/><BR/><B>Karen</B> - I'll be curious to know what you think of Twilight when you are finished with it. <BR/><BR/><B>Memory</B> - That's what matinees are for. ;-) Actually, I have a gift card to the theater and so it didn't cost me a dime.<BR/><BR/><B>Florinda</B> - LOL Twilight probably would have ended up being there longer for me if my coworker hadn't twisted my arm so. She read the Southern Vampire series because of me and is hooked on True Blood because I encouraged her to watch it and so I felt it was only fair that I give her favorite series a go. <BR/><BR/><B>Nymeth</B> - Haha! My husband hasn't read the books and I don't think he intends too, so you aren't the only one. :-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-13011759773839516982008-11-23T18:07:00.000-08:002008-11-23T18:07:00.000-08:00Lenore - I definitely prefer reading the book befo...<B>Lenore</B> - I definitely prefer reading the book before seeing the movie, but there are exceptions to that rule.<BR/><BR/><B>Kathy</B> - Vampire tales aren't for everyone, that's for sure. <BR/><BR/><B>Meghan</B> - I ended up enjoying the movie--I think it helped though that my expectations weren't all that high. <BR/><BR/><B>Samantha</B> - I know what you mean! So many books, so little time. :-) <BR/><BR/><B>Andi</B> - Thanks, Andi! It was a fun movie. I'm glad I watched it. :-) I am glad the second reading of Twilight is just as magical for you.

So far, okay. I'm not a huge vampire book fan and I'm not fond of that new HBO series True Blood. But I'll give it a shot. I agree with Linda, though.

Friday morning I asked how they like it and one said it was "good" and the other said it was "okay." They weren't exactly raving. Their main complaint was that the movie doesn't have everything in it that the book has. They are young, only 15, so have never experienced this before.<BR/><BR/>I'll wait to see it on DVD next summer.Linda Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14459940700516084069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-4684234412330976102008-11-23T08:07:00.000-08:002008-11-23T08:07:00.000-08:00I hope you enjoy the movie!
