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 reckon, wow, a book of reviews and essays, that sounds dull. It really has some fantastic analyses from some fantastic authors. This book talks about many different topics you might or might not have even thought of while reading the series.
One fascinating topic is how different the thought of vampires has changed over the years. Our society used to reckon 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 fascinating. I got a fantastic viewpoint from many perspectives and that was the best part. I highly recommend reading it if you want to get a small deeper view on TWILIGHT, NEW MOON, ECLIPSE, and BREAKING DAWN.
I bought this book via Amazon Kindle, so did not see the nice book cover! I loved the book. Glad that it was an anthology, which offered different authors’ viewpoints about the Twilight series. I really loved the blurb before each chapter; but, very small print via the Kindle.
What was best about the book? The authors’ honesty about the Twilight phenom or their own realization that their books cover some similar themes to the Twilight books. It’s nice to read what authors reckon of other author’s work. Let’s be honest, Stephanie Meyer isn’t the best writer, but she’s a fantastic storyteller in ther Twilight series, the Host, and other published work.
This book is reflective, part professional fan fiction, and a small literary criticism–not very theoretical. The core group for this audience is probably adults who have read the Twilight series. I am not sure that tween and teens would really like some of the observations. And, the authors are well aware of that!
