A ‘Twilight’ primer
“Twilight” was Stephenie Meyer’s first novel. The mother of two from Phoenix wrote the book with an assist from a women’s writing group. Since then her “Twilight” series has been published in 37 countries, she has become a multimillionaire and she is now often compared with J.K. Rowling. (David Stone / Associated Press)
It’s unknown how much of the first three novels the “Twilight” movie will cover. We think a fitting cliffhanger would be to end things in the beginning of book two -- spoiler alert! -- when Edward leaves Bella.
