Midnight Sun (The Twilight Saga, 5)

Relive the passion and thrill of the New York Times bestselling Twilight Saga romance with this highly anticipated companion, retelling the iconic love story of Bella and Edward from the vampire's point of view. When Edward Cullen and Bella Swan met in Twilight, an iconic love story was born. But until now, fans have heard only Bella's side of the story. At last, readers can experience Edward's version in the long-awaited companion novel, Midnight Sun. This unforgettable tale as told through Edward's eyes takes on a new and decidedly dark twist. Meeting Bella is both the most unnerving and intriguing event he has experienced in all his years as a vampire. As we learn more fascinating details about Edward's past and the complexity of his inner thoughts, we understand why this is the defining struggle of his life. How can he justify following his heart if it means leading Bella into danger?

I really loved reading the 12 chapters Stephenie Meyer posted to her website after they were illegally leaked to the internet by an unnamed person... I hope she will eventually be able to return to this story and finish the book!
I love Twilight and I enjoyed getting to see it from Edward's POV. It didn't feel like the same story I'm so familiar with which made it feel different than the original.
The only criticism I have is the pacing. There were a lot of inner dialogue that didn't always feel necessary. I think there was a whole chapter just dedicated to him describing the car he steals in great detail. It got a bit over the top sometimes for me and I noticed myself tuning out of the audio periodically during those sections.
I loved the audiobook narration and felt that Jake Abel made for a perfect Edward.

One of the few books I couldn't finish. I just could not get into it.
Geez where do I begin?! I couldn’t stand Edward Cullen, he was so dramatic and whiney throughout the book and worst of all he doesn’t sleep. So he had a lot to say about nothing! It’s took me 6 months to read. I’m so over this book.
