Editorial Reviews
"For ardent fans of the star-crossed couple, [Midnight Sun] offers a more richly detailed view of Forks, Wash., and its inhabitants, undead and otherwise."―The New York Times
"So, will team Edward be happy with this book?... Absolutely. Meyer wrote with her biggest fans in mind, dedicating the book to them, and plunging into the mind of Washington state's most complicated teenage vampire as he falls for a woman who is more determined than we've given her credit for."―The Washington Post
"[Midnight Sun] is more complex, more sophisticated and less innocent than Twilight. Although it was Bella's story that launched more than a decade's worth of young adult sci-fi and dystopian heroines, it turns out the narrative power -- and compelling internal drama -- was on Edward's side all along."―Time
"Stephenie Meyer's Midnight Sun brings about a long-awaited consummation. It's not a climactic moment between teenager Bella Swan and the gorgeous vampire Edward Cullen but a consummation that reconnects Ms. Meyer with her vast and hungry audience.... Will gratify devotees."―The Wall Street Journal
"The new book does, however, unexpectedly and rather wonderfully, suggest that the Bella-Edward relationship was never the central love affair of the Twilight series. Humans and vampires may gaze meaningfully into each other's eyes, but the true passion in the books is Meyer's love for her readers -- and their love for her."―NBC News

I was sent the book in LARGE PRINT. Its huge. Are you joking?

Received the Large Print version instead of the one advertised. The book is much heavier than the regular version, so it was uncomfortable to hold while reading. Contacted Amazon and they refused to exchange it for the correct one. The seller couldn't do anything about it because it was fulfilled by Amazon. Be careful with future book purchases.

I really loved getting to read Edwards point of view. I also think Stephanie did an outstanding job at capturing the differences in their thought patterns and processes. Only issue with this book is that they sent me the large print edition when I purchased just the regular edition, I even tried to get it replaced and they still sent me the large print edition. Made reading it a little annoying.
