So the fourth book in the “Twilight” series is a piece of crap that should be burned… but the first three are really good and if you even remotely like vampires or YA fiction then you should try them out. The books rely on a lot of internal monologue for the main character and I’ve been really curious as to how the movie would handle this, so I really enjoyed this indeepth interview with the screen writer who adapted the book:

Well, in the book there’s a lot of rich internal dialogue, [but] it’s really in Bella’s head. It’s hard to do that in a movie. And I wanted the movie to be from Bella’s perspective, but at first I really struggled with how to get into her head without using voiceover. A lot of it meant making her have conversations with others in which that internal dialogue could be externalized. It was really about unfolding how she figures out that Edward is a vampire. Who could she have that conversation with? I think I was pretty successful in doing that.
