I read all 4 books in 2 weeks, and I got my hubby hooked, too. He loved them as much as I did.<BR/><BR/>I agree when you say that you feel like Bella in the books. It was so surreal for me, because at 17 I was very much the Bella described in the books, and now I'm very much Bella at the end of Breaking Dawn. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245589515098482899.post-19846418266414725122008-09-09T13:03:00.000-04:002008-09-09T13:03:00.000-04:00Stephanie Plum with vampires....that sounds like m...Stephanie Plum with vampires....that sounds like my kind of book.

A lot of charecter development occurs and not a huge amount of other stuff.<BR/><BR/>What I think I like is that they are so very readable and when I read I feel like I am Bella. I mean, especially with New Moon I guess and the theme of major depression and lost love and so many other themes that were SO DEAD ON for me that I'm making Jim read it so he can understand. She does a great job making you feel it.<BR/><BR/>I was talking to a friend that I wasn't sure would like them and she agreed, you really get inside her head and experience her depression and pain. Its part of why I had to read it so quickly so I wouldn't go to bed all yucky.<BR/><BR/>Try New Moon, if you don't like it after that then it might just not be the right series for you :)Sister Sassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15579850974867756364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245589515098482899.post-86983250003880666042008-09-09T08:31:00.000-04:002008-09-09T08:31:00.000-04:00Oh!

It's REALLY different than the books in a way, but the casting is perfect.<BR/><BR/>I'll e-mail.

Should I read on? I'm guessing the others are more addicting (I've only read Twilight so far).<BR/><BR/>If you have a kiddo like C, the lunch thing isn't bad because he'll eat the same thing for a month or two and then switch.

I hope you weren't trying to kill Edward though!<BR/><BR/>Hmmm...Southern vampires that in books that are funny like Stephanie Plum (are they funny?) and have sex--might have to check those out.
