TWILIGHT

Forbidden love between a mortal and a vampire?

Sounds...romantic.

Twilight, according to its official website tells us about the love between an ordinary girl named Bella Swan and a vampire (a very handsome vampire) Edward Cullen. According to website (which you can check out at http://www.twilightthemovie.com) TWILIGHT is an action-packed, modern-day love story between a teenage girl and a vampire.

Here's the synopsis:
Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother re-marries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she's ever met. Edward is a vampire, but he doesn't have fangs and his family is unique in that they choose not to drink human blood. Intelligent and witty, Edward sees straight into Bella's soul. Soon, they are swept up in a passionate, thrilling and unorthodox romance. To Edward, Bella is what he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward & Bella do when a clan of new vampires - James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre) - come to town and threaten to disrupt their way of life?

The story reminds me of Anne Rice's vampire sagas and of course, one of my favourite vampire movies is Queen of the Damned (starring the late Aaliyah). But it also reminds me of The Covenant where the story was about four handsome men who were wizards...eh, wait...that's wizards, not vampires.

Since a friend of mine recommended the book to me, so I'm going to read it FIRST before I watch the movie. Check out the trailer:
