review 1: When I first heard about this book (thanks, Mel!), I knew I had to read it. The combination of the Twilight Saga and history was just too tempting for a geek like me to resist, and on many levels, it didn’t disappoint. Despite slight inaccuracies which don’t seem to be anyone's fault (the official companion for the Saga hasn’t been published at the time), this collection of essays is quite insightful. Some essays were more interesting, others I just felt like skipping altogether, but the beauty of such a compilation is its variety – it covers a large verge of topics so that everyone can find a point of interest there. Risking in sounding like a geek again I'd also say that reading this collection made me miss the days of reading this type of academic essays nonstop... more. This is another thing I like about it – that it seems to aim for the slightly older Twilight fans. Most of the other merch is aimed for the younger fans out there, so it's nice to see a product, and even better, a book, that manages to rise above that.
review 2: No, no, no, no, no! NO! I was APPALLED!! Simply appalled at this book. Especially one chapter really set me off; the fairy tale chapter. In this chapter the author, Sarah Buttsworth (each chapter has a different author), flat out says that the only reason why Bella chose Edward over Jacob was because Edward had the fundings to elevate her out of her 'middle class' social status and the ability to make her beautiful and young forever. She even says, that Bella dumps Jacob because of his race! And this she justifies by calling it 'the American Dream'! After I read this part I was so put out that the rest of the book made me extremely negative, and I fianlly just threw it away. I simply couldn't keep reading. I might not be the biggest Twilight fan anymore, but I still do love the books and to have them degraded like this was simply too much! NO!! less
