Look out TWILIGHT fans, there's something new to sink your teeth into.

A NEW DAWN is a book full of many authors' essays, all about the TWILIGHT saga. You may think, wow, a book of reviews and essays, that sounds boring. It actually has some great analyses from some great authors. This book talks about many different topics you might or might not have even thought of while reading the series.

One interesting topic is how different the thought of vampires has changed over the years. Our society used to think of vampires as horrible creatures; now they are thought of as normal citizens in our day-to-day life. That is just one subject out of many that is brought up.

Personally, I loved this book. I absolutely adored the TWILIGHT saga, so reading A NEW DAWN was very interesting. I got a great viewpoint from many perspectives and that was the best part. I highly recommend reading it if you want to get a little deeper view on TWILIGHT, NEW MOON, ECLIPSE, and BREAKING DAWN.Show Less

    Interesting......

    While I've only read the fifteen page sample, I found the idea of Edward being a sociopath quite interesting. Some of the poimts she has made are false, a few are actually very true. For example, a sociopath is supposed to be deceitful and have the tendency to lie. This is very true for Edward. His nature does require some deceitfulness but, like she mentions, he could do without a large amount. However, I strongly disagree with the concept that Edward and his family "slip up", making them murderers. Edward's vampire state forces him to kill. His body is attracted to human blood, much like an drug user would be attracted to his favorite drug. Also, many of the Cullens have never slipped up. Okay, about 3 or 2. Also, Jasper WAS a red-eyed vampire. So, like a recovering drug user, he has used and abused but is done with his drug. Of course, he will slip up. As a newborn, a vampire's desire for blood is strongest during these years. As for "killing" Bella, Bella had asked for it, he most definitely did not plan it, and if he didn't do this, Bella would've died anyway. I think I'm done here.

    I HAVE GOTTO SAY I AM DISAPPOINTED! THESE AUTHORS ARE JUST TRYING TO COVER UP THEIR JEALOUSY OF STEPHANIE MEYER AND HOW EVEN IF THEY WROTE THE (AMAZING) TWILIGHT SERIES THEY WOULD NOT HAVE DONE AS GOOD!
