Synopsis:

Midnight Sun is the much anticipated retelling of Twilight from Edward Cullen's perspective. An unedited partial draft was illegally leaked onto the internet in 2008; consequently, author Stephenie Meyer put the project on indefinite hold.

Shortly afterward, she posted a letter to her fans on her website including a link to the entire partial draft of the book so that those who wanted to read it could do so legally and with her consent.

My rating: ★★★★★

If Stephenie Meyer finally decided to finish writing this book and publish it, it would be my favorite of the whole Twilight Saga!

Basically what Midnight Sun is is Twilight all over again, but in Edward's point of view.

If you wondered why Edward was such a weirdo (which he isn't) when Bella showed up, this would be the book to read. You truly understand why Edward does the things he does. Why he is so curious about Bella, why he watches her sleep, and in the end, why he falls in love with her.

However, this unfinished draft only goes up to like Chapter 13, which is about half way through Twilight.


Have you read this book? If so, what did you think about it? If not, what do you think? Does it sound like something you might want to read? Leave me a comment! :)
