Midnight Sun

Already love the book. More of the dear friends we met fifteen years ago. It felt like coming home to my young self; a safe and familiar place. I'm not even four chapters in and I've already said "OHHHH" multiple times. It's also fun to see where Stephanie has added juicey details that came to her with this new book. A lovely addition to my bookshelf. The only thing I am sad about is not being able to read all of these books for the first time again. Happy reading friends! -Edit: without any spoilers, we all know the one part, I'm sure im not alone when we all said "OH. MUH. GAWD. WWHHOOOAAAA"

It's no exaggeration to say that Edward Cullen is one of my least favorite male characters of all time. The only reason he does not sit atop the throne is... well, Christian Grey and Massimo Torricelli exist. And after many years of refusing to do so, Stephenie Meyer has finally given the wangsty, unintimidating vampire his very own novel, "Midnight Sun," which retells the entire story of her debut novel "Twilight" from Edward's perspective. That sounds a lot more appealing than it is, once you realize that we then have to spend hundreds of pages in the head of a whiny, socially-inept misogynist who complains about everything. In case you missed the media storm some years ago, Edward Cullen is a sparkly vampire who dwells in the town of Forks, Washington. He can read minds. He hates school, and he pretty much hates everyone around him, especially the women. But then once day the author's self-insert, Bella Swan, stumbles into school and immediately entrances him with her delicious body odor. So he immediately wants to kill her, along with dozens of other innocent people. Swoon. Dream man. And since Bella's mind is unreadable, he begins obsessing over her, and decides that she is a selfless saint who is superior to all the common sheep. However, after he saves her from a freak car accident, Bella realizes that there's something weird about him, which causes the Cullens to panic. But fear not! Stephenie Meyer will not mar her book with suspense, so Alice just blurts out that Bella is going to be her best friend and Edward's soulmate, so everybody just calms down. Of course, Edward can't keep away from the universally irresistible girl who looks suspiciously like the author, and after creeping into her room for several weeks, he saves her from potential gang-rape and they start dating. Eventually the plot rears its ugly head, and some hostile vampires show up to kill Bella, which means Edward has to actually do something other than complain about how much other people suck and how tortured and evil he is. Is "Midnight Sun" any good? Well, that depends on how you feel about the Twilight Saga as a whole. If you're a fan of the previous books, you'll probably love another fat tome of PG-rated vampire romance, in which all the characters talk like middle-aged women. If you find the books to be torture, then this book will probably make you want to set fire to an orphanage filled with puppies. Sadly, Stephenie Meyer's writing has not improved in quality over the last fifteen years — she still writes flowery, breathless, rambling prose that endlessly covers stuff that isn’t very interesting. And, of course, she talks endlessly about Bella’s “soft perfection” and how all men want her, and all women want Edward despite his complete lack of basic social skills. Furthermore, it’s incredibly melodramatic in a way that in...

Been Waiting For This 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Sooooo Ready To Dive In 🖤 !!!!!!! #TeamEdwardAlways

Let me start out by saying I am not a Twilight fan/groupie. Yes i read the books, everyone was talking about them so I did to be part of the conversation. Yes, I have seen the movies on TV. the other day in fact. So that said I bought this for my Amazon Fire and read it last night just finishing it. I loved it. It is so different from Twilight in the fact that Stephanie has learned how to write. That's a good thing here because Edward's voice is different than Bella's, its more mature as it should be. If your worried it is the same thing that was leaked online years ago...your wrong. I began reading that when it was announced that she was releasing this and i remember moaning how awful it was while reading. I decided to take a chance on the book and WOW she hit it out of the park (as far as I am concerned.) I loved the fact that Edward can read his other vampire families minds and that two vampires members wanted to kill Bella after the whole parking lot car accident. What were the guys thinking when they cornered Bella in town that night Edward showed up? Its fun let me tell you...and we need that right now. There will be the haters out here but be assured you can laugh at them now. Stephanie has nailed it with this. Hats off to you Ms. Meyer, thanks for the good read. New reading order now...Twilight, Midnight Sun, New Moon...ect. Will add a new dimension to the remaining parts of the series.

You have to realize Edward wasnt the type of person to display his feelings. He was the one who kept to himself but was always respectful. Edward actually hated his vampire life until he met bella. People seem to forget of course the book is gonna be like the others. Its just in his point of view what did this citrical person think it was going to be about. No everyone get the book you will love it I swear. You get both views and you can dig deeper into Edwards feelinga since he never displayed them as much.
