The world has gone crazy over this book & 'movie' including all of my daughters. Michelle is the last daughter reading the first book, and I don't think she has put the book down all day. I was invited to go with the group to see the movie, but I have not even read the first book yet. I have to admit now, I wish I would have gone. And yes I will read the books. I have never been excited about VAMPIRES... But who knows maybe I'll change my mind! LOL
