Twilight

It is a love story with lots of twists. You have Edward... Bella... and Jacob ... love, of course, lots of love ... forbidden love... love between friends... love among family members... vampires... humans... werewolves...

I have read the book, thanks to GI.

Yes, I admit it. I read a book my teenage son borrowed from his classmate. How could I resist? First of all, the book belonged to GI's classmate, a fifteen year-old male. Secondly, GI actually borrowed this book and brought it home. GI bringing a book he wasn't mandated to read, home from school? Totally unheard of. Thirdly, GI reported that the book was being made into a movie. (He borrowed it some time in September, I think.) But the clincher was my (not-so) little boy, (more like) my young adult, READING a book approximately 2 inches thick. GI reading a 2" book? This book HAD to be interesting.

So I read Twilight before GI returned it to his classmate.  Being the hopeless romantic, I enjoyed the book.

(GI borrowed the 2nd book of the series from his classmate then we borrowed the 3rd and the 4th books from GI's cousin.)

The movie started showing in the Philippines last Thursday, November 27.  As expected, GI asked for permission to watch the movie this afternoon with his classmate. 

He said the movie was good even if it was kind of short and lacking in details that were found in the book. It's getting good reviews. 

I'll get to see the movie ... eventually.
