Because I haven't had internet service for about five days, I have read a ton of books and am therefore super behind in my reviews. I don't really want to pump put a bunch of reviews just-because, so I may do one-ish a day until I'm caught up. There are a bunch of books that I am excited to review, and this is certainly one of them.I did not exactly love this book. I'm not going to rave about it here, but I'm also not going to rant. I've read a few reviews online where other bloggers seem upset that this book was even written. I don't know that the writing was as good as it could have been, but I think that it was a pretty cool idea on Ms. Meyer's part to go back and develop a majorly minor character for her readers.
Truthfully, I didn't really remember Bree Tanner at all from the series. I realized who she was toward the end of the book, when her life crossed paths with Bella. Part of what made this read intriguing for me was that intersection, and I wish that there had been more of it. I also wish that Bree's first life had been develop more--maybe starting the book before she turned into a vampire, but I guess that Meyer probably wanted to write a short novella and not another epic. Which is fine.
Compared to the rest of the series, this read is a bit like a breakfast bar next to a trucker's special. Rather than being disappointed, though, I think that I was happy to have read a Twilight-type text in just a couple of hours. It was fairly light, had a lot of action, and I got to move on to another book in no time. For all of these reasons, it was worth my while!
