I've finished stephenie meyer's twilight, the first book of the series, thanks to this friend. I've heard only good comments about the series, and a film adaptation of the book is going to be released soon.

frankly speaking I don't quite get what the fuss is all about. it's mainly a love story about a human girl and a vampire, plus whatever complications that come along with that unusual combination. it's entertaining, for sure, but I still think trudi canavan's the black magician trilogy or david eddings' the malloreon and the belgariad series are much more engaging.
