Now, I like the Twilight novels. I like Stephenie Meyer, but I am not a die hard Twihard. I fall somewhere in between reading all the books and seeing all the movies and being a fanatic. I love a series and I always see the movies of books that I read.
That being said I did pick up this book last week. I did not wait in line, read it online or pre-order it. I just happened to be strolling past the book aisles at Sam's Club and threw it into my cart. Somehow it moved up in line in my to-be-read pile and I picked it up Saturday afternoon.
It was good. I finished in a couple of hours, but it wasn't astounding. The only Twilight book that was astounding was Twilight of course. It was very readable and entertaining, but not one I feel I will ever need to go back and re-read for the fabulous story or great writing. It was simply a sidetrack to the original novels. That is what it was intented to be and it satisfied that need to see what was going on in the background.
If you've never read Edward's version of the first time he saw/smelled Bella that is also an excellent flip side of the original story.
Overall a good read and of course if you are a collector like me it must be on the shelves next to all the other Twilight books.
