This could get controversial: Trueblood VS Twilight

Yes Renee had a story line but was not nearly as prominent or violent in the books but it was fairly close.
Maryann had a storyline but not nearly as involved and prominent.
Yes the werewolves are big in the books but not until a few books down the line do they really come into play that much.
 
I am not a big fan of Twilight myself, but I can't stand those stupid copy-cat shows people make.

So I guess what I'm asking is, should I read the books now that I know what happens from the show?

Ah, so you read Blackwood huh?

Good stuff, and some interesting takes on history too. Not just your usual textbook (written by the victors and usually doesn't include a whole lot of daily life type stuff)...

Twilight wise I did find it freakin' hilarious that the town practically worships SAINT Marcus... that was too funny

Yes. I really enjoyed the series. I have yet to read Twilight - I just can't bring myself to do it. My 17 year old daughter has and says they are entertaining. She has not read and reread them like she did with the Harry Potter series, so I'd have to say, based on that, it's not worth my effort. Heck, she has even reread Tolkien!

From what I've been told by others who have read it, the writing just stinks.

I don't watch True Blood or Vampire Diaries, they just seem like glorified soap operas, and, well, don't hate me ladies, but I hate soap operas. Even if I am a HUGE horror movie fan, I still can't watch it. Now, I did rad the Twilight books. I picked up the first one, not realizing they were young adult. Thick as that book was, I zipped through it and was on to the second 2 days later before I figured that out, lol. But I did enjoy the characters, even if the books were lacking in some descriptive writing. Not character descriptions so much as the way some things were not explained, and the way some language was used. I finished the entire series and I have to admit, I enjoyed it. Normally I read the likes of Dean Koontz, John Saul, Stephen King, and recently I discovered Kellie Armstrong. Right now I'm reading "The Host" (same author), and even though it's suppose to be written for adults, the writing is the same. A little bland, but it hasn't bored me enough to make me put it down and not pick it up again.

My older DD picked up the Twilight books about 6 months after I finished them, positive that she wouldn't like them, and she was unable to put them down. She not only read them, but turned around and reread them-6 MORE TIMES! They are her favorite books ever. She can tell you every single character, almost every line, and she has her favorites: Alice, Jacob, and Seth. She couldn't take sides however, lol. She liked the movies, but she feels that they could have made it better, and none of us like Robert Pattenson or Kristen Stewart. Both are dull and you don't feel the passion that is suppose to exist between them in those movies like you do in the books. I have to give Myers kudos for her portrayal of their love and passion. I can't say I completely side with my daughter though, cause I side with the werewolves!

I like Twilight but no where near as much as Trueblood, it is my favorite show on tv now.
