A review by livinliterary
Twilight / Life and Death by Stephenie Meyer
3.0
Ok, I had to go buy it. I loved the Twilight series when they came out, so I was interested in this book.
Surprisingly enough, I really liked this version. Sure, the names of the characters she chose are horrible, but it’s not like the original names were really much better.
So where does this book stand with me? Overall, it’s a “meh.” I’m glad I read it, I certainly liked parts of it much more than Twilight… but was it a good book? Not particularly. There were still a lot of problems with the story (mostly, the character’s lack of personality). This felt too much like a ploy to keep the series relevant without having to actually write something new.
