Things You'll Need:
- The desire to get the most out of watching the movie Twilight.
-
Step 1
First of all, I would recommend reading the book before watching the movie. Before I knew the back story, I wondered as I was watching the movie why a few scenes were done a certain way. Reading the book helped those scenes make a lot more sense. Without reading the book, the movie is still good--you're just missing out on some things.
-
Step 2
There are slight plot differences between the book and the movie, but I believe it was due to the length of time the movie had compared to how much time a person has to read the book. There are a few points in the book that don't get mentioned in the movie but help make the movie better if you know them.

Step 3
Due to Stephanie Meyer's writing style, the Twilight book is very easy to get through--it took me about 5 days. It's been the same situation with most people I've spoke with about the book. It's a large book in terms of pages and chapters, but it's a page-turner.
-
Step 4
Lastly, Stephanie Meyer's website has a lot of extra resources about the books and characters. She even has "outtakes" of portions of the books that had to be cut for mainly length reasons--some of which do give you extra information about the characters. I'll include a link to this under Resources.

on 12/27/2008 Very good information, thanks for the advice and resources about the book. 5 days to read any book is a good pace. I've been on one that I own for months now!
