Two reasons mainly. Maybe three.
First, I don't usually follow the crowd. When people get obsessed I tend to go the other way.
Second, I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that 'tweens' everywhere were going nuts over it AND women.
Third, I haven't been into that kind of thing since I was 14 years old.
Then, my son begged for it.
So, I watched the movie. I think I did it right because I had absolutely NO expectations, there for wasn't disappointed. I was actually intrigued.
In fact, so intrigued that I went and bought the book yesterday.
And finished the book yesterday. All 498 pages.
I'm glad I watched the movie first or I would have been so disappointed in all that was left out.
Now I want the second one.
BTW, am I the last woman to read this? When I was at Wal-Mart, four different women were shocked that I hadn't read it yet and went on and on about it.

I haven't read it and I don't think I'm gonna! I don't want to conform to the hype.
No there's like 4 other people in the world that haven't read it so you're not the very last one! LOL!
Run out and get New Moon, but keep in mind it starts out a little slower. Keep reading though cause it gets better...and my advice is to have the 3rd and 4th book on hand cause you'll want to read them too. Like immediately.
I guess Im not on the bandwagon either. I havent read the book or watched the movie either. I was going to watch the movie on ppv last week but went against it. Was going to read the book first, but since you said you were glad you watched the movie first maybe I will do that.
I jumped on that bandwagon really late too, but I'm glad I did. Good stuff.
I have the whole series of books and was hooked from the very beginning but haven't seen the movie yet. I don't want to spoil how good the book was by seeing a bad movie
It's like an AA Meeting..
Hello.... My name is Christina and I too have not read Twilight, watched the movie, or swooned over this hottie Edward.
However, I will be jumping on him... I mean the band wagon also! :-)
Welcome to Twilight! We have Edward here! Woo-Hoo!
LOL! You must be the last woman to read it :) I wish I would have seen the movie first! The book was about 100 times better! And I ended up devouring the entire series as fast as I could! :) I loved the second book, I think it was my favorite.
Ha!! You caught the Twilight bug!! Well, it will make you feel better to know that I was one of the losers who actually stood in line - by myself!! - on opening night to see it in the theater.
I haven't drank the kool-aid yet either. Not particularly interested. I don't care what a million other gals may think, no vampire movie can ever be hotter than The Lost Boys!!!
Yep, I'm pretty sure you're one of the last.
The movie left a lot of things out but they always do. I think it's impossible not to.
I haven't read it! Or seen it! And I'm thinking I may not. I never got into Harry Potter either.
I'm a rebel!
