I cannot wait for it to come out. I am really curious as to who they are going to cast as Magnus Bane that guy is an amazing character and amazingly hilarious I hope they find a good actor to do him justice cause that character is one of a kind. Now I wanna read City of Glass again. I LOVE these books, they are funny and romantic and odd all in one. I cannot wait for it to come out.

Sure there was the element that draws you in, but after reading the series and digesting it, I really just could not get over the flimsy characters and like of development, not to mention the huge plot holes. So you can understand that I despse the phrase 'the next twilight' (do not get me started on The Huger Games being compared to it), but I'm getting off the point. I really truely enjoyed the MI series. It somewho managed t combine multiple myths and legends, and still stay true to them. The character have great depth, and the story s griping.

So it might be a good idea to go all the way to the third book because then it won't be as sad. After all Jace and Clary do end up together. And about the time for the movie no one said movies have to have a time limit. Plus the movie Australia seemed like it was like 4 hours long so they could do the same with the mortal instruments. Speaking of the actors in the movies I think Alex Pettyfer should defiantly play Jace he is so perfect. As for the other actors it doesn't really matter I just want Alex to play Jace.

I completely agree that twilight is overrated. I just hope that they do a good job of it. But, as it's going to be produced by the guys who oversaw The Lord of the Rings, I think it's in pretty good hands. :) And i most definately agree that Alex Pettyfer should play Jace. That is just spot on. :) No way is TMI the next twilight. I completely agree that twilight is overrated. I just hope that they do a good job of it.

I enjoyed twilight as it appealed to my romantic side and it was entertaining to be swept up in the emotional aspects of the story. However, I have to agree that MI is a better written series overall and will likely appeal to a wider demographic. I lent it to one of my male friends and he couldn't put it down. MI just has a lot more dimension and complexity than twilight in terms of the plot, the characters, etc. Yes, I’d have to agree with what everyone has posted.

There is also the jealousy that one character expresses (for Twilight its Bella and Rose, for TMI its Alec and Clary) towards another. And the fact that each story has a hero, in a sense. Edward is always rushing off to save Bella, and Jace does the same for Clary. One thing that would make TMI better than Twilight in some eyes, is the action. It's throughout every book, keeping the reader gripping the edge of their seat impatiently waiting to hear more. For anyone looking for a good series with action and a ridiculously large love group, try The House of Night series by P.C Cast and her daughter.

Being a Twilighter myself, I have to say that TMI is way, WAY better than Twilight. It's got so much more suspense, and action, and romance. Especially when it comes down to Clary and Jace, and their shocking truth, it's much more exciting, and keeps you on your toes when you want to find out how the story ends. TMI will NOT be the next Twilight, it will be the next teen flick that will have all Twilighters proclaiming themselves as Shadowhunters!!!

The humor, action, and romance all compacted into one book is a fantastic read! I have read all the books from the Twilight series and thought the teenage love triange was somewhat creative, but now I'm ready to move on. I h8 hearing everyday about Twilight and who's better: Jacob or Edward? TMI definitly appeals to a wider audience. I CAN'T WAIT TILL I GET THE NEXt BOOK IN THE SERIES!!!!!!!!
