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.
