I've read all three Twilight novels and I think they're pretty good, however I don't think they are as great as they were made out to be before I read them. I don't really find any off the characters particularly likeable, except Edward of course, and sometimes Jacob. I don't think Bella is a good protaganist and I think I still don't really know or understand her or see any personality in her after all three novels. I think they can be extremely cheesy at some parts and drag on quite a bit. That being said I do enjoy them and I am looking forward to the next book and the film. I am a fan of Catherine Hardwicke who will be directing it, but I don't really have that high of standards for the film because my when my favorite book series was turned into a film (Harry Potter), it was dissapointing but when I look at the films as a seperate thing I enjoy it more, and I plan on doing the same thing for the Twilight films, and with the bits and pieces I've seen so far it looks great. The only critism I have of the trailer and stuff is that it makes Edward seem kinda creepy and scary, when in the books he was always mysterious but just kind of, charming, and he didn't really have that, but I think its too quick to judge. Oh and I know everyone is freaking from that whole "spidermonkey" line, and I've tried really hard to hate it but I just can't. Rob just sounds so hot while saying it, and I didn't know that it was possible to sound hot with a normal boring American accent but I think the fact that he actually has an English accent and is just doing and American accent so he has mastered the art of conveying hotness through speech.

So anyway, I knew Kristen Stewart was cast as Bella and I hadn't really seen much of her work, and I saw that she was in the movie of the book 'Speak', and I loved the book so I decided to watch the movie and I really enjoyed it, it was really heartbreaking and Kristen did a beautiful job. She has a real vunerability and kind of beauty in a simple way which I think is great for Bella and will make her alot more likeable in the films then in the books. So I defintely reccomend it!
