I read this book as a child, loved it, bought a copy for my daughter who read it so much it didn't survive for her to share with her children, so I bought them each their own copy.

Nora Roberts' trilogy is NO 'powder puff' vampire story. Two twins, one a sorcerer, one bitten by a vampire in ancient Ireland. And the world as we know it is headed for a battle between mortals and vampires.
The circle has been formed. Hoyt, the sorcerer, Cian - his twin the vampire, Moira - heiress to the throne of Geall - with a bit of her own magic, her cousin Larkin - shape-shifter and warrior, Glenna - 21st century Wiccan practitioner, and Blair, 21st century vampire hunter. Together they enter the Dance and go to Geall, where the battle with Lilith's demons and vampires will take place.
The second installment starts the morning after the demon attack which interrupted Hoyt and Glenna's hand-fasting.

I'm not a big fan of 'coming of age' films. I liked the movie 'Knocked Up' tho I didn't appreciate the title. There were funny parts, but is glamorizing teenage boys trying to score booze and unsafe sex a good thing?

Watched this last night with friends - we ALL enjoyed it - very good. Better than I thought it would be. I'm no slouch at Math, these kids have me beat! I thoroughly appreciated the ending of the movie, and I'm going to read the book to see how it REALLY ended. ;)

I disagree with some of the comments by Grady - this was a good movie about a tightly knit group of men brought together by a war not of their making, trying to survive the horrors they experienced, celebrating the good parts of their experience (their 'band of brothers) trying to retain who they are throughout the experiences. And agonizing over decisions and the loss of their friends. Which the main character tries to explain to the character 'Mich'. I watched this with my friends Sherri and her husband Terry, an Army vet who served in Viet Nam. He thanked me for bringing it, that he thoroughly enjoyed it.
If it is confusing for you in parts when he is citing code to his Commander about how he shouldn't be 'Stop-Loss'ed - watch it a few times. They did a very good job, and Military Law is very confusing.
