Consecutive Order, ne?

I just have a little question for you. If you see this, please post your response or at least vote. I want to know what everyone thinks. :]

So, to really understand the Twilight series by Miss Meyer, would you agree that you should read it in consecutive order (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, etc.)?

You see, this girl in my class was reading New Moon. My friend who is also a Stephanie Meyer fan asked the girl what she thought about the first one. She replied, "I don't know. I haven't read it yet." So my friend told her that to understand it, she should be reading it in order. "Whatever. I'll just read this one, then Eclipse, then Twilight, then New Moon again."

My friend and I were both to the point of outrage with her after a while of debating (and due to other previous upsets with this girl) all before class was dismissed.

So, what do you think? Consecutive order or does it even matter?

Anyone?

Well, consecutive order is generally for everything, and it sure helps, but its not required, and its perfectly fine to read it out of order. I would have had a problem reading it out of order, but thats just me.

i don't think you can totally understand just how in love they are if you don't read twilight.

OF COURSE ORDER MATTERS!!!
especially in this series!!!!

i mean you wont understand what is going on in new moon if you havent read twilight...
i mean you would understand some things...
but the majority of it you wont....

so i say YES!!!

Well..I think you have to read New Moon before Eclipse, but it's probably not as important to read Twilight before New Moon. I mean..it's better to..but when I read New Moon it was like more than a year after I read TWilight and I couldn't remember anything from the first book. So the parts where they talked about Laurent and Phoenix kind of confused me, but it wasn't really that important to the story that you totally needed to know what happened

definetly consecutive order

It would be best to read them in order, but I know some people who can read books out of order and still get it.

I have to say consecutive order. If you don't read Twilight first, you won't be able to truly appriciate Edward and Bella's love.

ORDER!!! My friend and I started the revolution at my school and everyone who read New Moon was like what happened and her and I were like, "NO!!! READ TWILIGHT!"
(consecutive..... sorry I rant on this all the time... sweatdrop )

the anethestic never set in and i'm wondering where

consecutive order
for sure.
it just wouldn't make
sense otherwise.

the apathy and urgency is that i thought i phoned in

I think that consecutive order is best, expecially since so much happens and since the later books make referances to the eairlier books it's just a good idea, in my opinion of course.

If you didn't read Twilight before New Moon, how would you know that Edward and Bella were in such love?And that Bella was not just being an idiot by overreacting about her boyfriend leaving her? OR, that Edward was serious when he said he was lying about why he left her in the first place?

So yes.In my opinion, it is important.

Reading the Twilight books out of order would be completely out of the question for me. It's just not my way.

However, I'm sure that even if I had read New Moon first I still would've been completely attached to the characters and (possibly) slightly more accepting of Jacob.

I just...don't understand people who do that. I could never read the second book of anything first. I can't even watch TV shows without having seen the first episode! xD

And also...wouldn't you be a little confused when characters like Victoria start showing up if you hadn't read Twilight?
