Title: After viewing the movies, had to see how Twilight Book 1 set it up
Product review: I'm one of the few fans of book adaptions to movies - how Grisham's The Firm translated, Angels and Demons, etc. With Twilight, which of course is already a global franchise, I had to go back to the beginning.My take is that the director, Catherine Hardwick, who directed the "Twilight" movie, really boiled the ocean here, creating tight characters, setting up the high school and town as best possible. I had to shake my head when she read the 'vampire softball' game scene though, as the implausibility or even rationale for ageless "teens" playing softball seemed very corny.I wonder if Hardwick hadn't directed "Twilight" if the series would have stayed as long. Again, interesting YA model of writing from Mormon author, but very lucky to have a strong female director own the first book.
