Twilight Tenth Anniversary/Life and Death Dual Edition The Twilight Saga Book 1 eBook Stephenie Meyer

First of all, like many of you, I loved the original series and have reread them several times. I was interested in this book, and I'm about a third of the way through - not sure I'm going to bother finishing. I've thought a bit about why this book isn't working for me. It's not the dialogue, the plot, the fact that I've read it before - it's just that I can't put myself into this story. Let me explain. I think a big part of the appeal of the Twilight series was a self-professed "ordinary" girl getting the gorgeous, unattainable guy who was totally into her and her alone - and having another gorgeous werewolf also in love with her. Since the readership of Twilight was predominantly female, the average reader was able to project herself onto the more or less blank canvas of Bella and put herself into the story as the ordinary girl who gets the extraordinary guy. Rob Pattinson and Taylor Lautner being cast as the two male leads didn't hurt, either.

Now we have a gorgeous female vampire in love with a totally ordinary guy and....yawn. Who needs more descriptions of gorgeous, perfect women? You can open up any fashion magazine or Hollywood tabloid and read about them. There is no way for the average Twilight reader to put herself into this story - especially since "Beau" is a totally unappealing character and "Edythe" is just making me picture Rob Pattinson in drag.

I don't know why I'm so annoyed by this book - hey, we're not talking about a literary work like "Pride and Prejudice" here, but for the love of all that is holy (as Meyer herself likes to say), could we just have "Midnight Sun" finished before we are all too old to care about this series anymore?

Twilight Tenth Anniversary/Life and Death Dual Edition The Twilight Saga Book 1 eBook Stephenie Meyer Reviews

This book was a very good read, this is comming from a 24 year old Male who has read all the previous books, and honestly I loved them. (not a popular thing with my friends but they got over it) I stated that I am a guy because this played into my enjoyment of this book immensly! I immerse myself in books when I read and my first time through Twilight I wasnt quite able to put myself into the shoes of the Bella due to my being a male, but this time around I was able to jump in and "feel" the book so much more, I could put myself in his shoes and understand, and for me that made this book a really great experience.

I have noticed a lot of people complaining and giving this book bad review just because it isnt Midnight Sun, but I for one am happy that Stephenie didnt rush the writing of that book just to satisfy a 10 year anniversary. the only negative thing I will say about the book is some of the name choices, most felt awkward aside from a few. but other than that, this is a very enjoyable read as long as you dont go healong into it expecting Midnight Sun.

side note for anyone worried, this story has an end, it doesnt just leave you dangling in the wind. which I really enjoyed =)
First I want to say that I loved the original. I also want to say that I went into this book with an open mind. I suggest any reader to do this. I loved this book because it felt more real and I personally (even as a girl) related more to Beau. I like how he was crafted and felt no remnant of Bella in him so because of that he became his own character.. the same goes for Edyth. For me this made me enjoy the book more enjoyable. I recommend this book only to those who will read it with an open mind
I thought, for sure, I'd love this book as much as I had the rest of the Twilight series. At first, I had difficulty adjusting to the gender-reversed characters. Finally, I reached a point where everyone became their own unique person, but about half way through the book I was still struggling to connect with the characters so I gave up before I finished reading it. Perhaps I should have kept going? I devoured all the other books in the series, including The Short Life of Bree Tanner, and was hoping I'd feel the same enthusiasm with this title. I just couldn't make it happen, despite my strong desire to do so.

I'm hoping Stephenie will write more books for this series. If she does, I will buy them in a heartbeat (assuming she stays true to the original characters for whom I have such a fondness.) I've often thought a book that picks up ten years or so into the future from where the series ended would be interesting.
Ok, I had to go buy it. I haven't gotten very far with it. As someone who has read Twilight probably 100 times (don't judge me), it was very VERY odd to read the exact same words, but with strange new names. Beaufort? Really? She couldn't have come up with a better name that started with a B than Beaufort? I was really thrown off by reading that Charlie bought the truck from Bonnie Black. Then they introduced all of the Cullens with swapped genders. My head started to hurt trying to match everyone up with who they should be, and I put it down. I hope I'll be able to try again. I loved the Twilight books when they came out, so I was interested in this book. Now I'm just not sure I can handle the swap. It would be easier if it wasn't written almost verbatim from Twilight. It feels like she did the quick and easy way out, editing the already-written Twilight just to make a quick buck. Dear Stephenie, I think you would have pleased your fans more by finishing Midnight Sun. This just feels cheap and quick.
why not finish Midnight Sun which is something fans would actually really like to read??
