review 1: This is a wonderful collection of very entertaining essays ranging in voice from funny to informative. It is hard to see this as a book that the average reader will be chomping at the bit to go out and buy.That being said however, if you are:1. A diehard fan of Twilight with a serious OCD that drives you to collect EVERY Twi-related thing known to man.2. Studying vampire lore or the like and have to read it for a class.3. Prone to "pretty cover syndrome" and just can't resist.4. Just can't accept the fact that the saga has ended and are sure that there are a few "missing chapters" hidden in there SOMEWHERE. You will probably buy this book.This is a very light read that is brimming with both fact and opinion about all thing Twilight.Though this book can and probably will... more find it's way into someone's curriculum, it is never dry and very honest in it's presentations of the authors' love/hate or neutral feelings about the force of naturethat is Stephanie Meyer's Twilight Saga.
review 2: I enjoyed this book and would have given it a 4 star but there were 2 key errors that were made by the authors of 2 of the essays and the the editor and any proofreader involved all missed. I don't remeber the name of the essay the first error was in but it was the second essay, the second and third sentences. The author is talking about how the cover of Eclipse grabbed her attention and she then proceeds to describe the cover of Twilight. I understand that some of the authors of these essays only read the Twilight series because they were asked to write an essay for this book, but if you are describing a cover of a book that grabbed your attention you should be able to match the correct cover with the correct book title.The second error was in the essay titled "Tall, Dark, and...Thirsty" by Ellen Steiber. She states that the incident were Jasper tries to attack Bella at her birthday party is a scene in Twilight. This scene is actually in New Moon and is the pivotal scene that causes Edward to leave Bella in New Moon. Again if an author is going to write as essay about a book or series of books said author needs to make sure that all of their facts are correct. I could possibly understand if there was some minor error made due to the length of this series, but this is a major plot point in the series. The rest of the essays were interesting and the essay written as an advice column even made me laugh out loud. But the 2 error discussed above are going to be what I remember most about this book and that really draws away from the other authors that have contributed to this collection of essays. I will probably let this book set for a while and then I will go back through it to see what the other authors have wrote to see if any of their books would be of interest to me. less
