BOOK REVIEW | Touched by a Vampire

Unless you have turned off all media sources, you can’t not miss the coverage of the movie, New Moon. The movie is the adaptation of the second book in the Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer. Written mainly for young adult readers, in particularly girls, this series has become a phenomenon very similar to the Harry Potter series.

I wasn’t really aware of the series until a few years ago when the movie Twilight was released. Last year, when the movie became available on DVD, I decided to rent it out of curiosity. I have to say I really liked the movie. I haven’t read any of the books, but when I saw the trailer for New Moon, I have to say my curiosity about the story line increased.

I do plan to see the movie, but only after the hoopla around it has died down some. In the meantime, I had the opportunity to read Touched by a Vampire (read the description below) .
