I finally read Twilight

[caseysmom]

I think I'm the only one in this town who is not obsessed with the series. I've never had an interest in it but people are begging me to read it. I don't want it to pull me under into the grip of obsession! It happened to me like...2 times already. I never liked POTC until I saw the movie, I WAS OBSESSED I TELL YOU! I never liked the Jonas Brothers or Camp Rock, then I saw it. Can you guess what happened from there? I just don't want to be a Twilight geek. XD Plus, I think Rob Pattinson is the ugliest person alive, THAT I'm afraid will never change. Should I take the plunge? I'm hesitant.

He is hotter than hot, come on girl close your eyes and jump!

Hehe, me and you never found something to argue about. Now I think we do. I can't stand his face anymore. It's so ugly my sister shows me pictures constantly ugh. And to clarify I was never INSANELY obsessed with the Jonas Brothers but I hated them, I started to like them, now I love them, some of their music sucks but alot of it's good.. Thinking about it..I'm still reading Dewey so it'll wait XD

Robert Pattison has nothing to do with the book. The good thing about books is you can imagine how the characters look in your own mind - to me, Robert Pattison is not "Edward Cullen" - just the actor who plays him in the movie. I pictured Edward quite differently when reading the book, as I did most of the characters.

well... how do I say this... I´m really not drawn to it either... maybe if I read/saw it I´d be interested... but so far it hasn´t gotten into me... I just don´t feel it

I agree Karen. He isn't how I pictured Edward. I don't have a problem with him playing the part in the movie because I know there isn't anyone who could fit my image. Since Meyers spent so much time on Edward's beauty I think it would impossible to find the perfect Edward.

For those of you not sure if you would like the books, I never thought I would and had no intention of reading them until I listened to my 24 year old niece go on about them at Christmas. I figured why not give it a chance and I'm so glad I did. I'm 41 (choke, did I really just admit that? ) and typically read medical/forensic mysteries and never love stories or vampires stuff so you can see they really appeal to a broad audience.

I did a search on "Cullen" and this thread came up. I have been avoiding the books for awhile now, because I know how obsessed I get. But, I finally caved and saw the film on DVD the other day. And, now...a short week later...I am the owner of all the books and the soundtrack. I've watched the movie three times, and am on the third book. I've read each of the first two books in about six hours a piece, split in two sessions per book. Call me hooked. I love Edward Cullen, hahaha.

It's weird because Robert Pattison is so hot as Edward, but as Robert Pattison, he's only ok.

They are all out here filming New Moon but I'm not one of the obsessed fans that stalk them around Vancouver (apparently there are lots!!!).

I'm a member of Team Edward for SURE.. as the books went on, I hated Jacob more and more.
