I have never read the books, but decided to see the film to see what all the hype was about. I found myself completely enthralled with Edwards obsession with Bella. I left the film thinking about it for the rest of the night. I found the film to have just the right combination of love, story line, mystery, and action. The casting seemed perfect, especially Robert Pattinson as Edward. He was an incredibly believable vampire! I am not a swooning teenager,....... Im almost 30, but I can easily see why young girls would suddenly want to be bitten by this dreamboat!!! I am definately going to buy the books this weekend!!
