seriously, couldnt put them down. great reads, even if you've already seen the movies, which i have other than the last one which is yet to come out, but i'd already seen 1-6 before i started reading the books. they fill in sooooo many holes from the movies, you understand and grow closer to all the characters through the books because there's so much more. course the only downside is you start wishing the movies had stuck closer to the books and want to see many of the scenes in action, but realize you never will...
