It's a brand new series that started 4 weeks ago. This Sunday is episode 5 but you can still catch the first 4 episodes because they play them during the week.

Thanks.

I checked out HBO and they actually have the first 4 episodes on demand.

I'm replying to this without reading any of the other responses...just in case.

I started reading the first book in the series a week ago on Monday--I am now 1/2 way through the 3rd book and will probably start the 4th one by tomorrow.

These books are SOOO GOOD!

Now I can't wait until I actually finish them so that I can talk about them and read what other people have to say.

BamaFan121s · 10-09-2008, 04:16 AM

whew! Just finished the Twilight series last night (and have read the unfinished portion of Midnight Sun) and all I can say is WOW! The books are AWESOME!

I hope that Meyer does rewrite them all from Edward's POV...I would LOVE to have 4 more books about this group to read.

I agree that the books are good. It took a wierd turn at the end, but it all makes sense now.

That's exactly what I thought too. About mid-way trhough the last one I was mad and thinking, "what is THIS crap all about!?" But then in the end, I saw it all had a bigger purpose.

I thought the Edward/Bella books were all good but I didn't want the twist in book #4 at first. I think book #4 should have dealt with half of the story in more detail and then had a #5 that dealt with the other half of the story. I'm looking forward to Edward's book though (and, of course, the movie).

As for True Blood, that is a very, very interesting show (graphic!!) - the last episode was upsetting!! And Sookie's brother - OMG~~!! By the way, I had my name LONG before Sookie Stackhouse was around!

The last book was by far my least favorite.

Not the way I wanted it to end, but it is what it is and that's how she chose to write it, so what can ya do? The way I see it, any continuation of the story is better than no 4th book at all!

The final trailer was released on the official movie website last night. There were so many people trying to watch it that it tied the site up altogether and I couldn't even get it to pull up. Thankfully, someone put it on youtube:

wow... i absolutely cannot wait for the movie!!! 2 days after my birthday! What a present!

I Love Bailey · 10-10-2008, 11:29 AM

I loved the Twilight series. I had bought Twilight for my daughter for her birthday a few years ago and she kept telling me I needed to read it, I finally read them when the third book was coming out. Then I was disapointed I had to wait another year for the last one.
I also read The Host that she wrote for adults...it was hard to get into. I liked it...kinda...when I was done I gave it to my son to read, who loves SciFi. He hasn't finished it yet...I hope she decides to add to the Twilight series. My daughter & I will go to the movie when it comes out....it is always so hard to see a movie when you've read the books. The movie never quite lives up to your expectations.

Hmmm, sounds like something I might like... are they appropriate for young teens? My son and I read the Harry Potter books together and I'm wondering if we would enjoy this series?

Why don't you read the first one in the series and decide for yourself?
They are were written for young adults, but I really enjoyed them.
Has your son read the Eragon series by Christopher Paolini? My son loved Harry Potter also and enjoys them. The author wrote the first book draft when he was 15 I believe.

The first 3 books are appropriate, but the last one introduces some adult situations. Its not too graphically descriptive, but the ideas are there. Other than that, its a great story.

im soooo excited for the movie! Rob Pattinson is soooo hot! At least there he is, and his hair looks perfect! I like Kristen Stewart but i have to say her voice is a little manly, i always thought of Bella as having this really feminine voice and so dainty. I just dont like how she delivers the lines

kalina82 · 10-12-2008, 09:49 AM

So i just finished the twilight series yesterday and i'm still itching for vampire books. i love True Blood and was thinking about reading the books. However I do not want to read ahead if its going to spoil the show. Is this a problem when reading the books?
