Twilight

I read Twilight, Stephenie Meyers book about teen vampires at high school, sometime last year at the behest of Inny Pooh who just KNOWS that I would enjoy the story.  Being my sister and all, she is of course right.  I like my high school quirky love stories, and if they happen to involve vampires, even better.

[*WARNING: SPOILER ALERT] Twilight is the first in a series of young adult vampire books by Ms Meyers, who obviously cottoned on to what got girls going.  The series evolves around Edward Cullen, vampire who was made one at 17 and currently acting high school teen boy in a sleepy rainy town called Forks.  The vampires in this series can stay out during the day time as long as the day is overcast.  Forks is also known as the rainiest town in America so the gloomy rainy weather there works for them.  Love interest 17 year old Isabella Swan, is the daughter of the town's sheriff, who decides to come live with her father when her mom remarries.  Bella and Edward meet in high school and begins a strange love affair.  Edward, whilst still a vampire, comes from a vampire clan that doesn't (anymore) drink the blood of man but animals.  Bella has a penchant of attracting weird males because her best friend Jacob Black is a werewolf.  The book is not going to win any Booker Prizes I know, but its a good yarn. 

Hollywood has decided to cash in the Twilight appeal and made a movie of the same name, set to be released in December 2008.  I've just watched the teaser trailer and I must say Kristen Stewart (Jodie Foster's daughter in the movie Panic Room) as Bella and Robert Pattinson (Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter: The Order of The Phoenix) as Edward seemed good choices.

Twilight, coming to a screen near you (hopefully) 12.12.2008

Ps/  I didn't quite fancy the next two books of the Twilight Series, New Moon and Eclipse, because Bella was getting annoying.
