MY THOUGHTS
It was on my wish list for TWO YEARS so there were unrealistic expectations that I couldn't help. (It better be perfect for how long we're having to wait!) The companion guides I've read/browsed have collectively not been page turners. I was concerned that there wouldn't be anything new to discover in the guide when it was finally released. After all, like other 'Twi-hards' I've read innumerable articles both in print and on the Internet. I've watched tons of interviews on television, on the DVDs, and online. I have to say I am only minimally disappointed. The book is marked by scores of colorful Post-It Flags. A testament to all the Twilight Trivia introduced to me in this eagerly awaited book. Hooray! The book is beautiful to look at from the glossy black cover and familiar font to the bright white paper. I was looking for more elegant illustrations, but the graphics are pleasing enough. My favorite sections were the Cullen and human biographies, Key Plot Points, and Inspirations.
Now that I'm done my daughter can read it. She's been waiting like "forever," which translates to the twenty-five days I've had my bookmark in it.
