I have been dreading the release of the film Twilight [Dec. 1]. I felt certain that any movie version of the book would be hokey, and TIME's review of the film confirmed my fears. I take exception, though, to Richard Corliss's apparent condemnation of the source material. I have been reading fantasy and science fiction for more than two decades. Stephenie Meyer's best-selling series (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn) is captivating and original, with an audience that goes far beyond pubescent girls. It would be unfortunate if those who have not yet read the books were discouraged from doing so by a poor movie adaptation. Bree Urban, SEATTLE
