LOL - they;re not. In fact they practically don't feature in it at all. We find out quite a bit about them, particularly Rosalie, in Eclipse though.

I think my favourite's Alice. She needed more air time in the film, I didn't like how they didn't go into the Cullen History in the film.

i do like alice as well
i agree if you compare the book and film there is so much missed out but if the film was a standalone and forget the books i think its good
i'm hoping there is a bit more alice in new moon film

Yeah the adaptation was good apart from that, and the glitter skin lol It didn't translate well.

I hope Stephanie finishes Midnight Sun one day, I've read the first chapter but I couldn't read any more just in case she finishes it one day.

now you have said that i agree

for twilight they didnt really have much in terms of budget to make it the dazzling bit is a tad cringe worthy new moon should be miles better since they have a really good budget for it (i mean the went all out for the porsche scenes and hired 2 matching ones for different parts of the set including changing one of thems brake pads so they were same colour as other at a ridiculous amount of money per piece)

i read all of midnight sun i really loved it but i do hope she finishes it though

I bought Breaking Dawn at the airport and read both of them. I liked Eclipse but thought it was a bit slow paced it was better than New moon though. I loved breaking Dawn though

I'm on Chapter 12 now, I don't like the new Jacob I want him to go back to how he was.

EDIT: Judging from the trailer the film version of the Laurent scene is gonna be quite different.

And to complete my trilogy of posts, I've finished the book! I liked parts of it, generally everything before Jacob turned into a werewolf. I disliked his character after that although I liked the 'Family' Chapter. I like how Alice had a larger part and I thought the Italy chapters were good if not a bit anti-climactic. I don't think it was as good as Twilight but I'm quite interested in reading Eclipse now as the ending of New Moon built it up quite a bit.

I could have killed my friend though......

[spoil]'Have you read the one where she becomes a vampire yet?'


ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGG HHGGHGHG!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! This was before the Volturi and Vote chapters so I had no clue about the deal or anything.[/spoil]
