I haven't had a chance to pick up a copy of the book. Is it really good? Also, is there any mention of Edward?

I enjoyed it. I was skeptical of reading a Twilight book that wasn't one of the main characters' point of view, but I ended up with a lot of respect for Bree's story. It's very short, so if you're a fan of the saga, it's definitely worth a read. And I don't want to spoil anything, but yes, Edward, the Cullens, and even Jacob are at least made mention of, as it follows her through the battle in Eclipse.

Thanks. I will pick up a copy. I wish S. Meyer would finish Midnight Sun and also do another book that continues from Renesmee's point of view

I totally agree!!! I was so disappointed when I heard she was postponing Midnight Sun! I think it would be AMAZING!

Loved it!!! Same here I was thinking the same thing about if they will put anything in the movie that she wrote.
Please let me know if you still have a ticket left. And how much for it. Thanks CM

Hi chantel! I'm glad you liked it too. It was nice to have some twilight material to read. :)

And I still have both tickets left. They are worth $300 each...But we will accept offers. They are literally the best seats in the house but I'm having a really hard time selling them. You can message me or put a comment on my page if you're interested. Thanks, Nikki

I really enjoyed it. The very beginning was kinda disturbing but I quickly got past that. I would have liked to know more about what it was like for a vampire to die in the Twilight world. The smoke seems to have a conscience and I was hoping to read about it in Bree's book.

I try not to watch the trailers but I did catch a glimpse of one that looked like it was gonna have more Riley in it than just what is in Eclipse the book. My theory is that she had already written the story of Bree and it was used for the movie and then decided to release the story so that the fans would identify with the character more. I can honestly say that I liked Bree and wish that her story didn't end so quickly.

I know the girl who plays Bree, Jodelle Ferland, said that she had read the book before she filmed the movie. But I wondered how much the screen writer knew. Can't wait to find out!!! :D

I would love if S. Meyers did all the main characters in one big book except Edwards point. I would love to have it all in one so I can add it to my library. And so i can have it sooner then waiting for all of them one at a time.

I would love to read a book from Alice's point of view beginning from when she became a new born.
