I actually had so much fun with this lol. I found it loads more entertaining than the actual original novels. I doubt this was the intention of Meyers, but this made Edward even more deranged, weird, creepy, which as a result makes him actually more interesting than he ever was before. It’s very fun, especially if you don’t take it seriously and are coming from a place of love-hate for the series.

boatjo's review against another edition

This just sucked so bad. I tried to sit down with it several times and couldn’t get past a few pages at a time. It’s SO repetitive, and offers almost nothing to the original story except to reiterate how much Edward hates himself. All around not enjoyable to read.

Great for nostalgic value, but otherwise rather boring. Edward's long thought monologues make the book way longer than it should be.
