And the Port Angeles scene changes from men trying to sexually assault Bella to Beau encountering a drug deal and almost getting shot, and Edythe was more aggressive about wanting to pursue the people who tried to hurt Beau and get revenge than Edward was, which was interesting. You also get a better sense of how unstable Renee is and how much she really did rely on Beau, which I’m glad Meyer elaborated on because it really makes you sympathize more for Beau (and Bella) and how quickly he had to grow up to take care of his mother.Īlso, Beau makes a scene in the cafeteria of telling Taylor (aka Tyler) that he’s not going to prom with her, which doesn’t happen in the original book. Also, the writing style is different in this book because Beau doesn’t think as the same way as Bella does, which I thought was a cool touch. Obviously, Beau becomes a vampire at the end of the story because he leaves the airport a few minutes earlier than Bella did, which gives more time for the transformation to happen, and makes it impossible for the Cullens to stop it once they arrive. My Thoughts: This book is hard for me to rate because it’s still the same Twilight story that I know and love, but there are some changes with this one. It’s a very special book for me, though, so it sets a pretty high bar. She’s fiery and sassy, and I’m on board with it!Ĭomparison against the other books: This is obviously the book that I’ll be comparing the others to, since this is where it all started, so there’s not much to say here yet.

And it may be unpopular, but I don’t hate book Bella’s personality. I love the details in this book that the movie overlooks, especially seeing Alice’s backstory and her connection with James. I know the writing isn’t the greatest and it’s a problematic book, but this series is always going to be special for me, and since this is where it all started, it’ll probably always be five stars. My Thoughts: I think I’ll always give this book 5 stars just out of nostalgia.

Warning: There will be spoilers below for Twilight, Life and Death, and Midnight Sun.

I have the 10th anniversary edition that also includes Life and Death, so it got me thinking about comparing the three versions, Twilight/Life and Death/Midnight Sun, with each other and making a post about it! So here we go I’m gonna break the three books down, give my general thoughts, and compare them with each other. When the release of Midnight Sun was coming up, I wanted to reread Twilight in preparation.
