So I decided to read "Twilight" to learn what all the fuss was about & got instantly hooked. I love talking to other customers who are the mommies of the first wave of Twilight readers. The movie was enjoyable and although they could not have included everything from the book, it was worth the price of admission for me. Seeing the actor who plays Edward in those RayBans also enjoyable! I work at an indie bookstore & we had a big display in August for “Breaking Dawn” and the ensuing brisk sales.

This great post has convinced me to try the first book, Twilight. I'll get it at my local independent bookstore - Village Books! - of course. After all, a couple of years ago I reread all those Narnia books, and I didn't feel like I was somehow reducing myself in the process. :) I have to admit, I am guilty of thinking that this series was “too young” for me.

But, I have to admit that after taking my daughter, Katherine, to see Twilight, I'm hooked. What a fabulous love story! As you said, it may be schmaltzy, but it somehow works. I wonder how a story of vampires trying to be moral and have family values can appeal, but it certainly does. So, as you recommended, I'm flying through Twilight even though I've now seen the movie, New Moon is on its way from Willow Bridge books and I think I'll contact them about getting the last two in the series. Clearly I won't want to stop! You aren’t the last person on Earth to read the series, I am! But, I have to admit that after taking my daughter, Katherine, to see Twilight, I’m hooked.

I feel like I'm the last person on Earth who hasn't read the books so I forgot the spoiler alert, I added it. Thank you Marty!!
