A New Dawn: Your Favorite Authors on Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Series: Completely Unauthorized

By Leah Wilson, Ellen Hopkins, Aamna Qureshi

Book Overview

Fans of the literary phenomenon known as the Twilight series can't help wanting more. A New Dawn gives it to them, inviting readers to join some of their favorite YA authors as they look at the series with fresh eyes and fall in love with Edward, Bella, and the rest of Forks, Wash., all over again. Edited by bestselling author Ellen Hopkins, A New Dawn is packed with the same debates readers engage in with friends: Should Bella have chosen Edward or Jacob? How much control do Meyer's vampires and werewolves really have over their own lives? The collection also goes further: Is Edward a romantic or a (really hot) sociopath? How do the Quileute werewolves compare to other Native American wolf myths? What does the Twilight series have in common with Shakespeare? With contributions from Megan McCafferty, Cassandra Clare, Rachel Caine, and many more, A New Dawn answers these questions and more for a teen (and adult ) audience hungry for clever, view-changing commentary on their favorite series.

Customer Reviews

Great insight to Stephanie Meyer's dream

I think that everyone has an opinion and mine is no different. I am not an English or literary major but enjoy the insight that Stephanie gave us in her series of books, beginning with Twilight. If you read in any literary accomplishment, there still remain errors. I am a reader of pleasure but will endure a few mishaps in the book along the way.

Poor editing but interesting compilation

One author uses the word "loose" instead of "lose" and other confuses "Eclipse" with "Twilight," but if you're not [...] like me you will love this collection. Each chapter is written by a different author with forays into different aspects of the Twilight series. Some are terrific, some are boring, but all should hold some interest to a Twilighter anxiously awaiting Breaking Dawn this August.
