Was this totally unnecessary? Like, yeah, probably. But I enjoyed it so much. It’s worth it, just to see Edward’s POV, especially in regard to how he interacts with his family and the extent of what his powers can do. That car chase scene? Epic. If they do make the TV show (I hope they don’t), then they totally need to draw from MIDNIGHT SUN. I’d only recommend this if you’re already a huge TWILIGHT fan.

Edward Cullen I hate being in your head but I'd be a liar if I said this stupid book didn't take me on a roller coaster ride. I laughed, I screamed, I wished and prayed for your spontaneous combustion despite knowing it was a futile hope. This book is a MUST for anyone who read the original series. Sure, it might make you hate The Cullens more, or hate Edward more, or, well... hate any of the characters more (except Jacob—that's one character that was spared; so three cheers for you baby Jake fans) but you'll come out the other side a changed person. Definitely a darker read than Twilight or any of the follow-up books in the series, but trust me, you'll still laugh at the amount of lampshading and retconning Stephenie Meyer does. It's worth it alone to read
the car chase scene
so I'd say read it if just to read the chapter titled 'Race'. You can thank me later.
