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!!

 Giving this 4 stars cause I find it a nice addition to the saga, and I imagine fans are/were delighted with this guide, though I prefer authors giving all info in the books, rather than adding details this way.

So that was a whole lot of information to digest! Definitely not an easy read by any means, but for Twilight enthusiasts out there, there is a lot of extra info on all (yes ALL) of the characters, including back stories never seen before, and connections that may surprise you (Did you know that there was a Swan married into the Quileute tribe?)

I really loved finding out more about some of the minor characters and all of the vampires that showed up as witnesses in Breaking Dawn. My favourite part was the extensive backstory for Alice Cullen - it alone made the book worth the read for me.

Some of the deleted scenes are on Stephenie's website, but if I am not mistaken there were some new ones too. For the Twihards who can't get enough of Forks, this is a fun book to have on your shelf (Great Christmas gift idea)

There was way more information in this book than I was interested in. While I enjoyed the books, this guide is for the true twilight fanatic. Admittedly, I skipped over some parts of the guide that were just not that interesting to me. My favorite part was the interview at the beginning between Stephanie Meyer and Shannon Hale. It gave more insight into the author and where she is coming from.
