Twilight and New Moon are in the YA section and they're there for a reason. Some parts are just really corny and sappy and make you want to pull your hair out. But I think it's worth a read. If only for Edward Cullen. <3

QUOTE(Duchess of Dork @ Apr 10 2007, 10:57 AM)  You guys have me totally curious about this series now. If any of you have read the Vampire Chronicles (Anne Rice), would have any comparison(s)? I've found that Anne Rice tends to linger too often on ambience and would have rather her focus more on characterizations. Anne Rice's novels are for much, much more mature readers and are usually for more 'hardcore' vampire fans. Twilight is good for all readers because it does not hold as much vampire culture and tradition as Anne Rice's books. Twilight is more of a romance novel. I enjoy both series. I think Anne Rice is much more worth re-reading than Twilight, though. :) And I still adore Edward Cullen, the most wonderful vamp boy. |

So I'm getting the impression that both series are good, but Twilight could be considered more or less, a lower calorie vampire series. I ask, in part, because I've been reading through this thread, looked on the net at some descriptions and got so incredibly bored (and irriated) with "Eragon" (my brother bought it for me for Christmas) that I'm REALLY needing something fun to read. That is, until Harry Potter arrives.

^ Yeah. Twilight will definitely be a good time-filler.
Although I totally disagree with you on Eragon! I loved it. |

I think you have to copy them into notepad and 'fix them' to where they're on the same line and then put them in.

Holy cow I want to join this!
This may sound weird, but for some reason after I read Twilight and New Moon I feel a little depressed. Mainly because the books are WAY TOO good, if you ask me. So when they're over and done with I feel a little empty inside. :D *coughs*ahem. . . but moving on: Age: 18 Hobbies: reading, writing, drawing. Contact: check the siggy. Favorite character BESIDES Edward: I'd say Bella, because she has a stubborn side to her, which is quite fun to read about. Why you like Edward: what's there NOT to like? I like the fact that he can be so powerful and yet be so unsure of himself at times, which makes him seem almost like a little kid. |

^ You obviously do not understand what it is like to truly enjoy ANY character from a novel.
So, therefore, GET THE f**k OUT. |

Apparently someone got sent a copy of New Moon with the Eclipse chapter in it today. Fandom explosion, needless to say.
There's a few bits of Edward goodness. |

I'd love to join!!!!!
First of all, I'm Jess! Age: 17 Hobbies: reading, singing, making icons, listening to music, and hanging out with friends. Contact: it's in my signature if you mean website. Favorite character BESIDES Edward: Jessica Stanley, because we have the exact same name. Just kidding, about the reasoning, though the name part is correct. Actually, I really like Alice. She just seems so personable. Why you like Edward: ok, this is kind of crazy sounding, but I like Edward because of his personality. He's intoxicating, even through the book. I kind of fell in love with the idea of him. Lord, the French prospective Edward is incredibly gorgeous! In addition, I can't wait until the Edward version comes out! |

Ahh I'd love to join. :D ME (ALYSA) Age: 16 Hobbies: Running, listening to music, talking on the phone, movies, magazines, etc. Contact: My xanga is at CANYOUDOTHEKANKAN, i believe. Favorite character BESIDES Edward: If you mean within Twilight and New Moon, I'd have to say Allice Cullen; she seems like the most awesome "older sister" to Bella! Outside the two books, however, my favorite character is Mr.Darcy from Pride and Prejudice...  Why you like Edward: He's absolutley beautiful, yet has a "dark side" to him; he's a complex person, not just the school hottie. And can you say gentleman!?!? :D I'm so excited for the next book... that I think I MAY be looking forward to it more than Harry Potter 7! |

I guess it's just I haven't re-read the more recent books in a while... once I do I'll probably be all re-excited for the 7th book. Did you read the 1st chapter of Edward's version of Twilight? :) It's gooooood. |

So I finally got my hands on Twilight and New Moon (special edition
 ), and yes, they are amazing. I finished all of Twilight on Sunday and I'm a few chapters into New Moon.Now I can say that, like Alysa, my favorite character aside from Edward is Alice. She's just so cool and I can imagine the graceful way she moves. Needless to say, Edward is awesome. Bella's klutziness is also very endearing.

Gaspard Ulliel NEEDS to play Edward in the movie. Seriously. He's so much prettier than Henry Cavill and he's even got that crooked smile!
I can't believe what Bella has to go through at the beginning of New Moon... "It will be as if I never existed." =/ |
