Who here has read the books, because judging 의해 some people's 답변 and questions, it doesn't seem like some people have...

Amen sista! (sorry, I couldn't help it.) I have been thinking about this for a while now.

I read the 책 in August 2008, just after the release of Breaking Dawn. I was only vaguely aware that there was even going to be a movie. I had a friend who was completely obsessed. She talked about it endlessly and I usually just tuned her out. Then I met another friend who liked it, and then a few more. And then when Breaking Dawn released, I went to one of those midnight parties with my friend because it sounded fun. I had a great time, someone even got proposed to, but I didn't really understand what the big deal was. So just a few days after that, I finally decided to give the 책 a chance, and I've been hooked ever since. I read non-stop for almost five days, and once I finished them all, I went online to 우유 the internet for all the info I could get, which is when I really became aware of the movie. I know that when I read the books, the movie was right around the corner, but I was lucky because I still read before the movie craze began. It's tough for me to say why I'm a fan, but it's mostly just because I 사랑 these books, and I care about the characters and the story. They were the first 책 that drew me in the way they did. They made me happy when times were tough. I just 사랑 these books. And yeah, the 책 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the movies. I do 사랑 the movies, even though I know they aren't exactly cinematic art, I 사랑 them. But the 책 are still a million times better, and will always hold a special place in my heart.

I read the 책 way before the 영화 came out.

me i read all 4 and saw the 영화 of aLL THREE!!! and i cant wait 4 breaking dawn

I read the 책 before I watched the movies. The books(and my Edward-obsessed bff) got me interested in the movies. But it was 더 많이 the 책 that made me watch the movies.So yea I read the books.

i red da books!!! i startd in 06!!! 저기요 wer not my fav boks, but i read them all!!!

I read the 책 and have them but that was a long tima 이전 when I read them, when I was in the 7th grade, I'm going to be in high school in a few weeks.

of course i read the 책 before and then watched the 영화 and i have to say that yes the 책 are better than 영화 like always in my opinion anyway in this case(strange! generally isn't like this for me) i also 사랑 the 영화 also because i really like the actors and actress who are 연기 this movies.Anyway my favourite character is Rosalie and one of my favourite actress(Nikki Reed) play this role in the 영화 so... it's a perfect combination ;)

I read the 책 right after I saw Twilight. I saw Twilight the 일 it came out on DVD,so the 일 after that. I finished it in a 일 and a half then imediatly got the 다음 books. So,I read the series pretty fast and read them each like 20 times and counting

I read them a couple months after Breaking Dawn came out. I didn't even know they were going to become movies. I'd fallen in 사랑 with the books. I was already a Team Switzerland from the 책 and the 영화 won't change that.
Does it bother anyone else how people are team Edward in the 책 then the movie makes them like Jacob more?

THANK YOU!!! I have been telling EVERYONE that... People are just so lazy. Theyd rather watch the movie, than sit down and read. Ugh. People are missing out on SO much when they skip the books.
