The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella (Twilight Saga) by Stephenie Meyer


This novella is an unexpected disappointment, other than introduction of the character Freaky Freddy, the entire book is a bust.

The writing and character development we've come to love from Meyer falls short in this novella. The story feels padded and thin and Bree is far from an interesting character. You don't learn much more about Bree so one has to ask, What was the point to this book? To cash in money...? ( Yes, I know it was for the sake of the movie).

This novella adds, NOTHING to the Twilight series. None of the character relationships are explored or fully developed.

The best thing about this book is the dollar donation that goes to the Red Cross.

Grade: F
