but how did you like the final book? I don't know anything about the books really, but I know a whole lot about the final book due to cleolinda. That final book sounds like an absolute scream.

Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

I was a bit worried about the final book, because I was worried about how Bella's becoming a vampire was going to be, but I liked it quite a lot. Of course, I had complaints here and there, most notably that Meyer never uses one word where 100 will do, and thus some bits really did go on too long, but overall, I liked what she did with it.

Hmm. They had the first book in the clearance racks at the check out line at TJ Maxx the other day and I thought about picking it up. I have to return something so maybe I'll suck it up and try it out.

I thought the last one was pretty gross.

What is even happening?
The important point, and the one everyone (including JOSS) is missing, is that Buffy could kick both their asses. At the same time.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I know a freshman that read all the books -- loved them until the 4th . After reading the 4th she said she was done with the series and did not go to the movie.

I didn't go to the movie, and have no plans to, because I hear they ruined the books. The fourth book was quite different from the others, but I think I maybe even liked it better, although not so much the beginning, which was a bit gorey for me.

Hey. New board.
I thought the movie was at least 30% better than the book. It did leave stuff out and gloss over stuff, but mostly the things I hated about the book.
ETA: I'm not implying the movie is all that good. 30% over 40% (my rating for the book) is still only 52%...

yeah...no. i can't even take the movie. it's full of bad acting and took out things that i actually enjoyed about the book. what i didn't miss was having to hear Bella constantly describing Edward as "beautiful" and "statue-like". that was nice.
as for the fourth book, i pretend only certain parts of it actually exist. the stuff from Jacob's POV, for instance. well...until he imprints on Bella and Edward's spawn, that is.
