I do enjoy reading the books more than the movies itself. I think the casting was wrong and they made Edward too serious when in fact he's a young man and very playful at times when with Bella. He jokes a lot with her and laughs at her when she is to human at times. It's nothing like all the things I've read or watched and obsess over. I'm more into dramatic themes and lots of gore and death. But I do find it nice to read from all the other stuff I like. I also wonder if Stephanie Myers ever watched this anime called Inuyasha because for some reason there is a similarity in the two plots. Especially the love triangle is very similar too. Like one love interest wants them to stay the same while the other wants them to change to be with them and the one caught in the middle is torn between two loves. Funny is that one is dead the other is alive but with some unhuman traits. So it makes me wonder if she liked the love plot so much it inspired her to do similar story plot?
