The Twilight trailer on television first caught my attention. I saw the book in the grocery store and decided to read it. WOW! I was captivated by the love story and decided that I had to see the movie. If it hadn't been for the book, there may have been scenes I wouldn't have understood. Then again, having read the book first, I can't really say that with 100% certainty. My sister, who hasn't read the book, saw it with her family (4 boys) and they loved it. I will definitely watch it again when there's a chance I can sneak in when the theater might be a little quieter. Notice: be prepared for screams, oohs and ahhs, and dialogue quoting from the pre-teen/young teen fan base.
