YES Edward is a stalker and Bella is a 'not like other girls' girl and it's insufferably cheesy。 BUT when you get past that， this is such a fun book to read！ Read it so so fast and it was like re-living part of my teenage years， it was such a fun insight into Edward's head， and the Cullens， and all the things you see from the perspective of his mindreading！ YES Edward is a stalker and Bella is a 'not like other girls' girl and it's insufferably cheesy。 BUT when you get past that， this is such a fun book to read！ Read it so so fast and it was like re-living part of my teenage years， it was such a fun insight into Edward's head， and the Cullens， and all the things you see from the perspective of his mindreading！ 。。。more

when i was younger， i LOVED twilight and would’ve definitely cried while reading it。 don’t get me wrong， i still love the saga - but this book was so hard to finish。 edward’s monologue sometimes was really boring and i had no desire to keep reading it。 although i was still excited to discover the cullens pov of the story， many parts felt a little bit unnecessary （specially because we already know everything that happens。 keeping everything single line of original dialogue was kinda irritating）。 when i was younger， i LOVED twilight and would’ve definitely cried while reading it。 don’t get me wrong， i still love the saga - but this book was so hard to finish。 edward’s monologue sometimes was really boring and i had no desire to keep reading it。 although i was still excited to discover the cullens pov of the story， many parts felt a little bit unnecessary （specially because we already know everything that happens。 keeping everything single line of original dialogue was kinda irritating）。 but the books is still a solid 3 stars， mainly because of the nostalgia lmao 。。。more

es muy descriptiva， exageradamente dramática y， a mi percepción inexpresiva， por lo que parece un pan duro。 Me sorprendí gratamente con este libro， ya que Edward como narrador es todo lo contrario， ve en bella una persona super expresiva y cálida。 Además de que tiene por ella tanta devoción y a la vez tantos sentimientos encontrados， que es atractivo saber la otra parte de la historia， en la que él pese a ser el vampiro perfecto， es vulnerable。 La narración es un poco densa， pero disfruté de ella principalmente por el hecho de que Edward pudiese leerle la mente a todos， muchas de las cosas que suceden él las ve a través de la mente de otros。 Además de que pudimos conocer mejor a los Cullen como familia y qué hacían cuando Bella no estaba， como era su vida antes de ella。 Siento que Edward piensa mucho， y eso hizo que el libro fuese un poco largo， casi parecía corriente de la consciencia， pero en general， me gustó poder volver a disfrutar la historia desde otro punto de vista， y， revivir mis gustos del pasado。 Fue una bonita experiencia。 Recalco sobre todo el primer capítulo donde pasa como diez páginas describiendo como se imagina matar a Bella， me reí bastante。 Si la autora hiciese toda la saga desde el punto de vista de Edward probablemente la leería， pero， teniendo en cuenta de que demoró como 8 años en publicar este libro。。。 No lo creo。 Si eres fan de crepúsculo， recomiendo que leas este libro， tiene una visión interesante y mucho más intensa de la historia original， con mucho más vampiros incluidos。 ──────────────────────────▬▬▬▬▬▬ 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗦𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗘: I started reading this book simply because I needed something to do while cleaning and it was the first audiobook to come out on YouTube。 The truth is that I had no desire， nor any expectation， I had even heard that it was not worth it and that it was boring， slow and so on。 I did not feel that way， it is repetitive， being the same book told from another point of view， but， if you liked the original story， you will like this one too。 It is not news that twilight is a saga that most of the readers have passed through， it was very fashionable and I think that everyone has read or seen the movies。I personally like the story a lot， maybe because I've literally grown up with it （I think I saw the first movie at 10 or earlier） and because it's usually the kind of stories I enjoy。 The books in general are good， despite the fact that Bella as a character is one of the most exasperating storytellers I have ever read; it is very descriptive， overly dramatic， and， to my expression， inexpressive， so it looks like stale bread。I was pleasantly surprised by this book， since Edward as a narrator is the opposite， he sees in beautiful a super expressive and warm person。 Besides that he has so much devotion for her and at the same time so many mixed feelings， that it is attractive to know the other part of the story， in which he， despite being the perfect vampire， is vulnerable。 The narration is a bit dense， but I enjoyed it mainly because Edward could read everyone's mind， many of the things that happen he sees through the minds of others。 Besides that we got to know the Cullens better as a family and what they did when Bella was gone， what her life was like before her。I feel like Edward thinks a lot， and that made the book a bit long， it almost seemed stream of consciousness， but in general， I liked being able to re-enjoy the story from another point of view， and relive my tastes from the past。 It was a beautiful experience。 I emphasize especially the first chapter where he spends about ten pages describing how he imagines killing Bella， I laughed a lot。If the author did the whole saga from Edward's point of view she would probably read it， but， considering that it took like 8 years to publish this book 。。。 I don't think so。 If you are a fan of twilight， I recommend that you read this book， it has an interesting and much more intense take on the original story， with much more vampires included。 。。。more

Even in the peak of my Twilight obsession in middle school， I didn't really care if we got Midnight Sun or not。 I didn't read the leak as I didn't see the point。 But， there is a point。 The same book from Edward's perspective works since he can read minds。 If he didn't have this ability， it would have made for a far less interesting book。 We not only get Edward's perspective - we get basically every perspective that isn't Bella's。 As a result， we learn a lot about the other characters。 Though it Even in the peak of my Twilight obsession in middle school， I didn't really care if we got Midnight Sun or not。 I didn't read the leak as I didn't see the point。 But， there is a point。 The same book from Edward's perspective works since he can read minds。 If he didn't have this ability， it would have made for a far less interesting book。 We not only get Edward's perspective - we get basically every perspective that isn't Bella's。 As a result， we learn a lot about the other characters。 Though it may seem unlikely， we learn a lot about Bella， too。 Anyone paying close attention to Twilight will understand that Bella is an unreliable narrator when it comes to herself。 People criticized the novel frequently when considering Bella's "plainness，" when like most teenagers， the only person in that novel who believes that is Bella herself。 I knew that much， and have been giving Meyer plenty of credit for mastering the art of point of view。 But Edward picks up on a host of other traits which really were right in front of our faces in the regular series， but since Bella didn't name them and we're blinded by her own rationalizing， readers likely wouldn't have picked up on them。 （I didn't， anyway。） I was especially intrigued by his analysis of Rene and her relationship with Bella。 In fact， any of the "shortcomings" I perceived in crafting Bella's character makes more sense now。In some ways， I suppose I could grant Midnight Sun a lesser rating。 It can be quite slow at times。。。 but， that's kind of the thing with Midnight Sun。 It's not a "normal" novel。 It's an indulgence。 It's not something to read if you're not a fan of the first one， because you're just getting the same story with much more detail。 As a fan of the series， it held my interest， but if Twilight is something you don't connect with anymore， it's probably not for you。 I， for one， enjoyed myself。 Edward and his annoying decision-making skills make more sense， and frankly， it's just a fun story。 I'm happy that Meyer gave us a little more of this world that has brought so much joy。 。。。more

I feel like I just read 600 pages of Edward saying “I’m obsessed， but I’m bad for her” over and over again while hardly anything else significant happened。 I guess I like a little more plot in my plots。 I did like seeing how Alice processes her visions and how they shift around。 She and Jasper were the highlights of the book for me。

Eh。 This was OK。 The audio version was well done。 I did appreciate the insight on to Edwards mind， especially considering he isn’t the most verbose of characters。 Being able to hear his internal processes helped understand some of the moments in the original version of the book。 That said， it was too long and fairly dull。

Twilight is 509 pages。 This book is over 650。。。 And it’s all just dumb filler stuff inside Edwards head between the normal scenes we already knew。 I think if I got this book a decade ago I would have been thrilled， but it’s just not worth it。 I’m DNFing at 50% of the way through because it’s just so dull and after 9 months of slowly slogging through it when I felt like it， I just never want to pick it up again。

Another great addition to the series。 I only wish I could have read it chronological instead of written order！ I would have enjoyed this right after twilight for a better comparison of the narratives。 （I also just read the rest of the series and understand reading in a different order would only be possible if you started the series now。）
