slow but good read..

I'm a huge Stephanie meyer fan, I will always hold the twightlight series close to my heart. This book dosen't catch ya and hook ya in quite as fast but it's still very good it just takes longer to get into. If you like this book you'll looovve twighlight, newmoon, and eclipse. Everyone does.

Great book! (Even if you didn't like Twilight!)

I am a huge fan of the Twilight series, and I was a little skeptical about this book. I was worried it would be just like Twilight, but it wasn't. It has a love story, or two, but the book is about so much more. I read it in a weekend, and have already barrowed it out. I will be reading it again!

Another Spectacular Book

I read the Twilight saga and love it to death, stephanie meyer is a great writer and i cant wait to see what kind of behind the scenes things she puts on her web site for this book. I wasnt expecting the book to be quite that big but i am glad it was because i enjoyed every page. She writes that its a science fiction book for those who dont like science fiction and she's right. I loved this book, Wander was amazing. Think about it as Invasion of the Body Snatchers from the alien point of view and you got the basis for this book. But the way she writes it is so much better than that. I dont know if there will be a sequal to this novel. But if there is i will be waiting as soon as the book store openes. i would recomend this book to anyone who loved Twiligh, New Moon, and Eclipse becuase its another great book from the great writer.
