I read the books (except the 4th, haven't got it yet), and I might see the movie. Wouldn't call`em the BEST vampire books I've read - cuz I've read a lot of them
I thoroughly enjoyed all the novels. My friend was into them before all the hype about it, so she got me into it as well. I think they're one of the best series I've read in a long time. The movie looks amazing, and I can't wait to see it.
