Not a fan of “Twilight”, in fact I only know a few things about it — (1) it’s about vampire love, (2) there’s a book about it, (3) the film version is about to be released in Singapore.

I came across a profile summary of the characters over Yahoo! so thought I’d share for the benefit of those who are interested. As glamorous as “Gossip Girl” but with more characters that I gave up trying to remember them.
