I read this when I was a kid in elementary so don't judge me. I based my rating on what I remembered and what I felt while I read it. I sold my copy of the book so I can't reread this and have a new rating so I'm going to go with this one.

This is such a fascinating insight into the production of Twilight, hearing about the struggles of filming in bad weather, trying to beat the tiny budget they had and just hearing from different crew members.
It’s awesome to understand the thinking that went into costuming, location choices and deviations from the book. The time and effort Hardwicke and her team put into this film is astounding and it shines through in the final movie.
It’s unbelievable that the original version of the script had Bella cast as the popular track star and ending with FBI involvement and a jet ski chase - I’m not sure who wrote this original version but they clearly did a terrible job and we are so blessed that Catherine Hardwicke intervened.
I’ll never stop being mad that she didn’t direct all five movies - such a rip off and it was absolutely to the detriment of the series.

I love how they made a movie companion for Twilight, It's really cool to get a better inside look.

I picked this one up for a buck or two at a local thrift store. I love the books and movies. While this had a lot of details I didn't much care for, it was fun to read about some of the behind the scenes movie magic. Prop placement, special effects techniques, and other little things the average viewer may not have picked up on from the films are all discussed in this film companion book.
It's silly and fun, just like the books and movies, and at first I debated donating this to the local library used book shop but nope, I'm gonna keep my copy.
