I finished the series before the movie was released and got my neighbor hooked on them to boot. I thought the movie was OKAY. My husband took me to see it because I wanted to make sure it wasn't too scary for my seven and five year old (at the time). It wasn't. So when the DVD came out, we all watched it. I'm actually more excited about the second movie than I was about the first. I prefer the werewolves to the vamps (I prefer warmth to cold).

There were things about the series that irritated me, but it didn't make me want to not read it. I realize that a lot of people are freaked out about him watching her sleep and the age difference, but what everyone has to remember is that this is a work of fiction not fact. I think what people forget is that other authors out there have the same things happening in their book it's just no one usually cares as much because the characters that falling for the vamps are usually in their mid twenties or older. Don't get me wrong, if this was real life and any adult male was watching a young girl sleep that wasn't family (of course sometimes that's not good either) then I would be highly worried and would do something about it. I liked the first movie. Even though they left out some stuff, they got most of the major points on screen (they can't all be as long as Harry Potter. LOL). Will I go see the new movie, yes I will. My 14 year old son might go with me too even though he could care less about the whole Twilight phenomenon. He just liked seeing Jacob change into a wolf on one of the previews and wants to see more. I'm not a Twi-Mom or a Twi-hard fan either and while I like the actors that play the parts, I don't just go screaming about Robert Pattinson every time I turn around (nor do I send him naughty letters). As far as teams, I'm with you I'm on Team Carlisle, but since there's only two different teams that really matter, I'll put myself on Team Jacob. I have a thing for wolves. :) I’ve read the books and loved them. There were things about the series that irritated me, but it didn’t make me want to not read it.

Jacob says, "Allow me." Hilarious! Tina Misty, I loved the scene when they really needed to get Rosalie out of the room because the baby was coming. Jacob says, “Allow me.” Hilarious!

The chapter titles were humorous all on their own at times. :) Tina, my boys laughed hysterically at some of Jacob’s thoughts and jokes.
