Has anyone read this book? I have heard good reviews, and I hear that they are making a movie out of it. I also went into the author's blog and she has an excerpt from the book and it sounds really good! Very descriptive.

Anyone :)?

*Bump*

Ok so I went out and bought this Book the same day I posted this question. The book is 497 pages long (paperback) and I'm now at page 460....which means that since I got the book I haven't been able to put it down. Yesterday, and I'm such a nerd for doing this, I came home around 5:30 picked up the book and read until about 8:30 only to make dinner for my husband went back to reading it around 9:45 and didn't stop until 12 am only because I knew I had to wake up early and I was falling asleep even though I wanted to keep reading.

I am sooooooo IN LOVE again! This is the best book I have read in a long time. I'm not going to spoil anything for you all. PLEASE don't google it! Because if you find the brief description of it, you'll think it's just one of *those* type of books and it is absolutely not! It is a impossible love story that is so IMMENSE!! Ok, I must admit, I brought the book with me to work today so instead of sneaking to be on I2US, I'm going to read the last 30 pages. LOL!!! and there's a series to these books. The next one is called Exclipse.

Happy reading (if anyone dares!)

I bought this yesterday and I am already on Chapter 7 with only having about 2 hours reading time. This is a great book. I can't wait to buy the next 3 books!

My sister told me about them this last week so I had to try it out. Two thumbs up from me!

Hey ladies, I just got this book and in the 3rd paragraph of the preface my print is messed up. All I have is

Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else.

That is all I have can one of you fill in the rest. Thanks a bunch.

I have read all three of the series and loved them! Is the 4th out already? The first is the best, but the story is addictive....it is young adult fiction so it's a really easy read. I am not a big vampire fan, but loved this!

PREFACE
Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved. Noble, even. That ought to count for something.
I knew that if I'd never gone to Forks, I wouldn't be facing death now. But, terrified as I was, I couldn't bring myslef to regret the decision. When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it's not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.
The hunter smiled in a friendly way as he sauntered forward to kill me.

Oh good, I'm glad I'm not the only that loves this book! I picked it up on a whim a couple of months ago and, like you all, read it all in one sitting because I was hooked! I am expecting to get the next 2 for my birthday this month or I would rush out and get them. :D

Stephanie Meyer's website is also great, btw. She has some great ideas and discusses how she feels about the series, where it's going, some background, etc.

OMG I am so glad I'm not the only one reading this book!!

Aren't you guys sooooo in love with Edward? *swwooonnn*

Speaking of, on Friday I don't know what hubby and I were doing, I might sound cheesy here so bare with me...I went over to kiss him and kind of tiptoed cause he is 2 inches taller than me..hehehe..and I don't know if it was because I was just reading the book or what...but this electric shock just went through my body and for an instant...I was Bella and he was my Edward...

So in love...

Anyhow, back to reality. I went out and bought New Moon and Eclipse and have finished both! I am such a nerd! Have you all read the first chapter of "Midnight Sun"? This is Edwards version of Twilight! I am glad they picked Robert Pattinson as Edward. He seems like he would do a good job. Oh and there's a teaser trailer of the movie at www.myspace/trailerpark.com (http://www.myspace/trailerpark.com) or something like that.

hey Angela!! I just finished the 3rd book and let me tell you....ok I won't tell you!!

I am itching so bad for the 4th book! I can't believe the classification for this book is still at young adult even though I'm (age 29) really enjoying it. Anyhow, I'm going to reread the books. I'll take my time now that I'm in no hurry to get the 4th one since it isn't out already. August 2nd seems too far away no?

Aug 2 and Dec 12....what do they expect us to do until then? I get the second book on Tuesday. I am so excited. I am 27 and love the books. My sister is 27 and my cousin is 30 and we all love these books.

Yes book 4 comes out Aug 2 and the 1st movie is out Dec 12. I am excited about the movie. I wasn't so much when I saw the pictures of it, but now that I have seen the teaser trailer I am excited.

I heard this interview with Stephanie Meyer last week on NPR. She has a book out called The Host that sounds interesting. But of course there's no Edward. BTW, who ever thought one could make the name Edward sound sexy? lol

I didn't like the sound of Host, but maybe I could try reading it. If you read the first chapter to Midnight Sun on Stephenie's page (Under other projects) you will get a little scared of Edward. It is Twilight from Edwards point of view.

So is midnight sun the 4th book? I am going to get the 2nd today. I am so addicted.

No Breaking Dawn is the 4th book. Midnight Sun will be a "companion" to Twilight. It will just reflect everything that happened in Twilight just from Edwards point of view. Like you learn why he was so mean to her the first day.

Guess what? I think I found Stephenie Meyer on myspace. I added her to my friends list but not sure if it is the real one. Go check it out if you have a myspace. My myspace address is on my page. I think most of you are already on my page. I was so excited I had to share this. She is such a brilliant writer.
