Erm, surprisingly (to me) I loved the books. I read all 4 in about a week! I couldn't put them down!
I have my tickets for Eclipse already... The films are crap compared to the books but they're useful for some Cullen oggling!
I could tell you more about how obsessed my friends and I became actually... but I won't, as I think the slagging would be severe and I may even be banished from here for ever!
