Finally got around to reading Stephanie Meyer's book Twilight. I'm not a particularly big fan of vampire novels, the whole seduction aspect of vampires just never interested me. But, I had heard good reviews (and witnessed the book being bought over and over by teenage girls). So, I gave it a try and......it was okay. Honestly, it was a bit too much of a romance for me. Although I did find the slight twists on vampirism interesting, and the last bit of the novel was very exciting. So I went ahead and read the sequel New Moon. This one went by quick. There was still a bit too much "gushing" *snicker* about how wonderful Edward is, but then things got more interesting. I am determined to read the third volume now, and will probably be eagerly awaiting the fourth this August. All I can say is teenage girls are serious romantics.

Are the first two out in paperback? I'm thinking they might be good plane reads...
Actually, only the first book is in paperback. The next two are hardback only, and I have no idea when the second will come out in paperback. Maybe in August since the fourth book is coming out. Definitely a good plane read...easy and entertaining.
Krissy likes these pretty well.
Apparently there's going to be a movie soon, she's excited about it.
I think she skips over the gushing, though. She has a bizarre way of reading books.
The movie actually looks like it might be okay. They seem to really be pushing the action in the book rather than the romance, but who knows. I'm not even sure I could convince Seth to see it.
