Who here has read the books, because judging par some people's réponses 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 livres 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 livres 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 lait 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 l’amour these books, and I care about the characters and the story. They were the first livres that drew me in the way they did. They made me happy when times were tough. I just l’amour these books. And yeah, the livres >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the movies. I do l’amour the movies, even though I know they aren't exactly cinematic art, I l’amour them. But the livres are still a million times better, and will always hold a special place in my heart.

I read the livres way before the films came out.

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

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

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

I read the livres and have them but that was a long tima il y a 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 livres before and then watched the films and i have to say that yes the livres are better than films like always in my opinion anyway in this case(strange! generally isn't like this for me) i also l’amour the films also because i really like the actors and actress who are jouer la comédie this movies.Anyway my favourite character is Rosalie and one of my favourite actress(Nikki Reed) play this role in the films so... it's a perfect combination ;)

I read the livres right after I saw Twilight. I saw Twilight the jour it came out on DVD,so the jour after that. I finished it in a jour and a half then imediatly got the suivant 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 l’amour with the books. I was already a Team Switzerland from the livres and the films won't change that.
Does it bother anyone else how people are team Edward in the livres 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.
