I thought the same thing about the movies until I read the books. WOW! The movies do the books no justice. Give Twilight (the book) 30 pages, I swear you'll be hooked. It took me 3 years to read it, friends kept bugging me, I had no desire. Finally I said ok, I'll give you 30 pages, that's it. I had the series read in 2 weeks.
