I absolutely loved the books! It definitely takes you back to intense highschool love.. The movies were pretty good though, they followed the books fairly well.. Worth the read

They are poorly written imo. Movies slightly better if u can get over Kristin Stewart.

@Amanda I am a HUGE fan of Charlaine Harris’ True Blood books. Everything else pales in comparison for me. So you have to take my opinion knowing that.

Slightly better than the movies. Mostly because the movies were so poorly acted. ?

I found them very addictive. I agree it is not a masterpiece but yet they were my guilty pleasure and I enjoyed them. I prefer the books over the movies.

If you like the movies you will like the books. They’re easy reads. Obviously they go a bit more in depth than the movies.

Read the first one years ago and loved it. I was in a romantic fog but outgrown them. Easy to read. Go and enjoy. Love Sarah J Maas too

Other high school/YA vampire books that I would recommend are the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead, the Morganville Vampires series by Rachel Caine, and the House of Night series by PC & Kristin Cast.

Not that they were great, but I managed to read all the books while I had to call it quits on the movies early on.

I loved the books. I’m not sure why they are a mockery. They’re very well written and fun to read.

I thought the books were okay, although I stopped at near the end of Eclipse. I hated Bella’s character in both the books and the movies, because she’s weak and whiny. Plus, the men in her life (Edward and Jacob) are real jerks.

Books are better than the movie, I read them before the movies came out. If you can read them without comparing them to the movie you should enjoy them

Books are way better. Also if you go to Stephanie Meyers fan page there is part of “Midnight Sun” . Which is told from Edward’s Point of view. The book will never be released however. ( Which for me ticks me off just a little bit)

I was in my fifties when I read the books. I was not interested at all until someone I respect told me they loved them. I then saw the movies ?. I don’t know that I would have enjoyed either one if I had read/ watched in a close time period.

Literacy genius it’s not but I read them and enjoyed them just don’t analyse ???? (who goes off into the woods with someone you suspect is a vampire???) Better than the movies because no wooden unemotive Kristen Stewart. Like any other book make a start, if not your cup of tea charity shop ?
