It was really fun to finally read about some of the things that created the Twilight universe for Stephenie

Tenho esse livro há anos, mas nunca tinha parado para ler inteiro. Antes, tinha lido apenas as partes das personagens que me interessavam. Nesse fim de ano, resolvi arrumar meus livros e acabei sentindo vontade de ler de novo, dessa vez do jeito certo. Foi muito interessante saber mais da história de cada personagem. Pra mim não importa o que digam de Twilight, sempre vou ter um carinho especial por essa série.

Generally a snooze, but there were details that were actually interesting. Should only be read by Twihards.

A must-read for fans of Twilight. I appreciated the depth of information provided for secondary characters (particularly members of the Volturi); however, the book did not present that much information for other characters. For example, there was not a lot of new information for any of the Quileutes and I still have several questions that I was hoping the book would answer.

Stumbling upon this book was a pleasant surprise for me, igniting a sense of curiosity that prompted me to delve into its pages. Although the journey to completion was a bit prolonged, attributed to my distractions with other literary pursuits, I must emphasize that every moment spent within its narrative was worthwhile. The allure of the story lies not only in its content but also in the opportunity it provides to deepen my understanding of the characters. The author's exploration of the characters' personalities, and experiences grants a perspective that goes beyond what the series might have offered. I also loved the art pictures! My initial interest in the book was more than justified. It provided not only an enjoyable reading experience but also a valuable extension of my connection with the characters and their world.

I cannot stop thinking about how good a human smells being related to how breedable they are

I mostly found it enjoyable to read as I've never read any of the Twilight saga but I feel that this is just an elongated spark notes for the series. As it's very much just 'here's a set of pages for each character' and 'here's a section detailing the cars every character drives' and 'here's some bullet points of the plot chapter by chapter book by book.' Like I don't understand why anyone who has read the series would read this except for maybe the crumbs of new info. But it also feels like word of god stuff in that way which I overall despise. 

That said, I do agree with those online who've said that the other Cullens/vampires have way more interesting stories than that between Edward and Bella.

Perfect for any Twilight enthusiast! It was intriguing to see into the mind of the author and learn more about my favorite characters. Also, it comes with a MUSIC PLAYLIST that inspired every part of the book series!!
