Its definately a MUST-WATCH.

Its SO nice to finally see a creation of my all-time favourite story book coming to life.All right.First,allow me to brag about the writter, Stephenie Meyer a little.

She captures the hearts of all the readers by twisting the story and blending it with love and fantasy.

I found this little piece of info in Wikipedia(my favourite source of info)

Meyer's first novel, Twilight, was published in October 2005. By November, Twilight had reached #5 on the New York Times Best Seller list for young adult chapter books. It has been translated into 20 languages .

Meyer soon published the sequel to Twilight, New Moon, in August 2006. In its first week of release, it debuted at the number 5 position on the New York Times Best Seller List for Children's Chapter Books. In its second week it rose to the number 1 position, where it remained for the next eleven weeks. In total, it spent over 50 weeks on the list.

One of Meyer's stories was published in Prom Nights from Hell, a collection of stories about bad prom nights with supernatural effects. Other authors who contributed to this collection are Meg Cabot, Kim Harrison, Michele Jaffe, and Lauren Myracle. Prom Nights from Hell was released April 10, 2007.

On May 5, 2007, the special edition of New Moon was released. It included New Moon temporary tattoos, an Eclipse poster, and the first chapter of Eclipse.

On August 7, 2007, Eclipse, the third book in the Twilight series, was released. In total, the three books have spent a combined 143 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list.

On May 6, 2008, Meyer's adult sci-fi novel, The Host, was released by the adult division of Little, Brown and Company; it follows the story of Melanie Stryder and Wanderer, a young woman and an invading "soul", who are forced to work as one in order to find Jamie and Jared, Melanie's little brother and the love of Melanie's life respectively.

On May 31, 2008, the special edition of Eclipse was released. It contains the cover art and first chapter of Breaking Dawn as well as "Team Edward" and "Team Jacob" t-shirt transfers.

On August 2, 2008, the fourth installment of the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn, was released. 3.7 million copies were printed of the 754-page book, with over 1.3 million copies being sold on the first day alone.

Here's a little flashback on how I get to know TWILIGHT.

I was in form two,14.and I happened to be stayting over at Tania's house during the long semester hols.

"Hey,Jo..this book you REALLY have to read.It rocks!I read it and I cried many times over it"says Yi Mei,Tricia.

Judging by the look and eagerness in her face,I coulnt deny that what she said is true.She insisted me to lend it,which I turned down politely.In my principle,I only read books I LOVE that I own,not other people's.So..the next day..I went to MPH and searched for it.I soon grew frustrated and was just about to give up searching until...a familiar looking black book caught my eye.A pair of hands holding out a red apple.Squealing with delight,I paid for it and started reading the first chapter.Sure..I had to agree it was kinda boring in the first few chapters,that was because Edward hasnt appeared yet(drools)But.When I reached Chapter 4..things began to take a turn.Meyer describes things perfectly.She could turn a normal vampire boy into an ultimate hottie,leaving us readers to drool over him.I'd stay up ALL night reading it,not able to put the book down for a second.Meyer's books had the same effect on me as with the Harry Potter series.Always not knowing when/HOW to stop.I guess that's how she earned the tittle"The Next J.K Rowling.(laughs)By the time I've finished reading the 434 page book,I realised I couldnt stop thinking about it.Every night,I'd lay there reviewing everything again and again in my mind.Soon after that,people in my school began to carry Twilight everywhere they go.More fans of Meyer's book start to form when the 2nd book,New Moon was released.We would scream and shriek over it like a complete maniac,and challenging each other about our favourite parts.

Not long after,Meyer claims that Twilight is going to be on motion picture(we sawit in her website)We almost fainted with Joy.And the casts look pretty awesome.I've watched each and every trailer available and my patience are running out.(Squeals)24 more days!

PS: Here are some pictures I'd managed to steal from some websites.

Enjoy.
