Catherine Hardwicke was the director of Twilight. The book is the inside story of the making of Twilight: The Movie. I thought this was an awesome insight into Twilight and how it was made. I love behind the scenes information on movies and this was all that and more. I hope all the directors for all four movies put a directors notebook out. (

Great illustrations. It was formatted in a scrapbook-like style, so it really did feel like a personal journal, which this was based off of. It gives new insight into her mindset. It's impossible to claim that there wasn't an effort into making this film after reading this. (

Okay, I got this because I'm an obsessed fangirl- I admit it. It actually turned out to be pretty fascinating. I loved seeing both the story behind the movie and the story of how movies are made. I felt like Catherine Hardwicke really let us into her head. It's artistic and fascinating in there, and this is a book that might interest even those who don't like Twilight. (
