I give this 3 stars purely for Alice, who is such a nice person and so supportive. The most exciting thing in that chapter was - wait for it - Bella moved her hand a little! Wow! Then there were 56 agonizing pages of The Meadow. How can crashing cars, burning the same car, and otherwise breaking laws be so boring? Some pieces were too short, like the car chase, which could have been good if Stephanie Meyer made it more thrilling. long.īut then I read Bloodlines, another vampire book and I added 2 stars, because nothing beats Sydrian.Īnyway, the story is simple: Twilight from Edward's point of view. I thought it was unbelievable, long, and. it started out being 1 star, and the worst book I have ever read. He'd also rather do what's best for his girlfriend than for himself and agonizes over the right course for their relationship. He's uncomfortable with his own behavior and wants to change. Parents worried about this bad relationship example will be relieved that Edward comes off a little better in Midnight Sun. He's overbearing and so protective of his mortal girlfriend that he sneaks into her house and watches her sleep. After Edward decides he's strong enough to tame his vampire urge to kill Bella, he has some more common relationship missteps.
Edward also recalls his time decades before as a vigilante killer and how he stopped the murder of a 6-year-old girl. Vampires hunt big game, and Edward plots to kill Bella and anyone who gets in his way at the high school. They'll notice that there's a bit more violence in this version.
Readers will want to start with Twilight before they tackle this longer version and make their comparisons. Parents need to know that Midnight Sun is the exact story from the wildly popular vampire romance Twilight, but told from the vampire Edward's perspective. Mention that men are drinking themselves sick in a dive bar.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content? Adjust limits for Drinking, Drugs & Smoking in your kid's entertainment guide.

Edward recalls decades before when he killed humans as a vigilante, especially one where he stopped a man from kidnapping and murdering a 6-year-old girl, another where he found women held captive and killed their captor. Mentions of how vampires turned years before: in an attack, after nearly dying in a suicide attempt, and in the 1918 flu pandemic. The death of high school students and faculty plotted by Edward until he decides to control his impulses.
Vampire hunting scenes: a bear is attacked, drained of blood mentions of mountain lions killed. Mention that a villain is ripped up and burned by other vampires. An attack with injuries from blood loss, a broken leg, a cracked skull.
