tricia (USA: TX) (2009/06/15): I loved this book. It gives you so much more insight to the movie. In the movie when Bella or any of the other characters are quiet and thinking the book gives an in depth look as to what they are thinking about. Also the book is a lot different from the movie. Its a great series of books no matter what age you are. I have 3 people reading them right now and all of us are over the age of 24.
