3.5 Gender bend version was not as good as the original but still enjoyable.
Young Adult as a genre is not really my thing anymore, hasn't been for a long time. But since the new book is coming out in August and I'll probably be checking that out, I thought I might refresh my memory by reading this one. It was the series that kinda got me into reading.

laughable. I read it for ten minutes and then gave up. Do people actually think this is good?

I was iffy starting this but i gave it a shot. Managed to get 10% in before i just couldnt anymore. I cant read without putting the Twilight characters into the spots taken by their gender swapped counterparts. I know theres supposed to be slight changes to the story but what ive read so far was word for word Twilight and i just cant.
While i really like the Twilight series i just cant get into this

Esta reinterpretación me ha sorprendido tanto que le he dado una estrella más que a la novela original.
Todos los personajes de Crepúsculo han sido cambiados de género en Vida y Muerte (con alguna excepción puntual, por un tema de coherencia en los hechos de la trama) y he de reconocer que ese cambio de roles me ha gustado. Mucho. La autora ha querido demostrar que Bella es como es, sin importar que sea hombre o mujer, y así lo ha hecho. Beau, el alter ego masculino de Bella, es igual de torpe, desastre y débil que su versión femenina. Personalmente, me ha gustado que haya sido Edythe, el alter ego de Edward, la que haya tenido que salvarle la vida en más de una ocasión.
También ha habido lugar para algunas de las historias de los personajes secundarios y, además, como este libro es autoconclusivo, tiene un final alternativo que no tiene nada que ver con el final de Crepúsculo. Me ha dejado con la boca abierta y aplaudiendo a la autora.
Es una lectura ligera que, en mi opinión, ha mejorado la novela original.

I had typed out this long review trying to justify a three star rating but you know what? No. The only saving grace is the ending and even then the ending made me mad.
And please don’t think I’m just a hater because I loved this series when I was younger but that’s the problem, I was younger and didn’t know the things I know now. I’ve grown, Meyer hasn’t and it shows.

This book was a surprise.
I was a Twilight fan and I was totally necesary to read the book and I have to say the most important thing I PREFER LIFE AND DEATH MORE THAN TWILIGHT.
Why I prefer more life and death? because of the character, in twilight we had a stalker vampire and a stupid human but in this new book we have a strong vampire and a cutie pie human.
Dear Stephenie Meyer: You should made this before THAT'S BETTER
So I'll give to this book a 8'5/10 and 4 and a half stars

Love Edythe. She's just better than Edward in every way. But I also can't stop imagining Beau as Bella. So for me it's Edythe and Bella (not Edythe and Beau).
