But I didn't like it enough to read the rest of the series, or see the movies (sigh). I'm not a big vampire fan - which knocks out a lot of books for me (sigh).<br /><br />Haven't seen the Last Airbender but the special effects on the promo Donna MacMeanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10310857800824141312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-53678115674799300742010-07-10T12:43:12.320-04:002010-07-10T12:43:12.320-04:00PJ, the entire Edward/Jacob debate has even made i...PJ, the entire Edward/Jacob debate has even made it into a spoof movie coming out next month called Vampires Suck.
