  she = Victoria, that's all.

  Ehm, all these "I shrugged, he-she shrugged, we shrugged, they shrugged" are annoying me to death, it looks like Mrs Meyer doesn't know how to express otherwise, and if I read again "he was different from the others" I'll get mad.
  Bree, I can barely stand you.
  70 pags and I'm done.

  FINISHED.
  Well, the book didn't dissapoint me 'cause there was nothing to disappoint, I just didn't like it the way I LOVED the other books. This one, wasn't needful, was just useful to bring other money in S. Meyer's -already full- pokets.
  The main character is not very intersting (I hated her). The NewBorns' life is fascinating instead.
  Nothing special.

  Short, dull and pointless. And extremely predictable to boot.
  I wasn't expecting much from the beginning but this book still managed to let me down.

  Too short...

  This was a really, really good read. Way too short but I suppose we were lucky to get anything at all as when she started it she only meant to write a few paragraphs. Bree is a way more interesting character than Bella, she had a bit of fight in her which I loved!

  The way it linked in with Eclipse ... (continue)

  This was a really, really good read. Way too short but I suppose we were lucky to get anything at all as when she started it she only meant to write a few paragraphs. Bree is a way more interesting character than Bella, she had a bit of fight in her which I loved!

  The way it linked in with Eclipse was great, it was really nice to read even a tiny bit about our fave characters from the Twilight Saga. Mine is Jasper, always hope she might write a book about the beginning of his life as a vampire!
  The only flaw was I thought because it was a short book she didn't have time to develop the romance between Bree and Diego. I mean they had only known eachother a day and she became obsessed with him pretty quickly.

  Contrary to what Meyer says in her note at the start of the book, I think the ending was great, I mean we all knew what was coming but finally a loved character is killed off. It adds a little extra to the book, everything doesn't have a happy ending. This only makes the happy endings that do happen all the more appreciated.

  So, uh, is this the first time Edward Cullen is referred to as being a redhead?

  A better take than some of the other Twilight series books, and Ms. Meyer's writing skills have improved greatly (as has her editors' ability to fix grammatical flaws) since Breaking Dawn. I guess the Bree Tanne ... (continue)

  A better take than some of the other Twilight series books, and Ms. Meyer's writing skills have improved greatly (as has her editors' ability to fix grammatical flaws) since Breaking Dawn. I guess the Bree Tanner storyline was just imagined better than the main Twilight storyline.

• Read it just to please my daughter who's a keen Twilight fan. This short book (or novella as it boasts to be) is unnecessary and dull as his main character than hardly anyone has notice in the movie and/or book series.
