Apparently more than one person had troubles with "persuaded" - so I updated, think of it as the same as recommended. (I was reading my flist prior to this and got the word from others journals.)
I got my mother and a friend into them. My other friend, Wales, remains immune to the movies and the books - but she's NOT a fan of the genre at all. It's odd, but all my friends who dislike fantasy and sci-fi, love horror. Was discussing this with my pal CW last night, who made the same observation about hers. They love things like 28 Days, Saw, Hostile, etc - but don't like Fantasy/Sci-Fi. Wales doesn't like torture porn, but does love anything with horror in it. Scarey vampires or zombies. She watched Buffy, but only was a fan of the Sixth Season. Avoided Angel.
And my father and kidbrother/sisinlaw also remain immune. No interest whatsoever. My mother reads them, but isn't *into* them and is waiting for it to come out in paperback. CW was really the only one who got addicted - she finished in under 48 hours. And has bought DVD's of the movies.
