Summary
It's here! Number one best-selling author Stephenie Meyer makes a triumphant return to the world of Twilight with this highly anticipated companion: the iconic love story of Bella and Edward told from the vampire's point of view.
When Edward Cullen and Bella Swan met in Twilight, an iconic love story was born. But until now, fans have heard only Bella's side of the story. At last, listeners can experience Edward's version in the long-awaited companion novel, Midnight Sun.
This unforgettable tale as told through Edward's eyes takes on a new and decidedly dark twist. Meeting Bella is both the most unnerving and intriguing event he has experienced in all his years as a vampire. As we learn more fascinating details about Edward's past and the complexity of his inner thoughts, we understand why this is the defining struggle of his life. How can he justify following his heart if it means leading Bella into danger?
In Midnight Sun, Stephenie Meyer transports us back to a world that has captivated millions of listeners and brings us an epic novel about the profound pleasures and devastating consequences of immortal love.

At last! (with certain reservations!)
I have waited a long time to hear Edward's side of the story (having read the leaked chapters way back when) and can't quite believe it is here at last!
I am loving hearing Twilight from Edward's pov and it has made me fall in love with him all over again.
I am finding the narrators voice pleasant enough overall, BUT (stop reading here if things get into your head) his lazy/mis-pronunciation of certain words is driving me insane!! I am only half way through the book and every time I hear 'di'nt' coul'nt, shoul'nt - I want to scream!! It's diDn't, coulDn't, shoulDn't - THERE'S A D IN THERE - SAY IT!!! It's getting to me so much that I want to applaud every time he say's a word ending in dn't correctly!
I kind of wish that I'd bought the book version rather than the audio because this is starting to distract me from the story, but I love my audiobooks, so I'm going to stick with it.
Maybe I'll download the kindle version and read it with Edward's perfect diction in my head......

Completely overwritten.
I rarely write reviews, especially bad ones but to save others 25hrs of their lives or a credit, I will this time.
This book was very difficult to get through. I loved the Twilight series and this book will ruin it for fans of the originals. It turns both Bella and Edward into truly unlikeable characters. Its way too long and familiar scenes from original are ruined by pages upon pages of painful inner monologue.
Some things are better left unfinished I think.

A how-to manual in narcissism
This is the story of a “young” vampire falling in love with a mortal girl. The vampire is exceptionally badly written, or at least that’s my hope. If it’s not accidental then this hero is a classic example of narcissism, domestic abuse, gas-lighting and all kinds of psychological problems. He is neither likeable nor relatable.
The narrator is not my personal choice and is way to ham for my liking. After 2 hours he was unpleasant to listen to by 24 hours I can’t write what I was thinking about him.
This is not a good book, it is worse than the preceding series and not worth listening to.

At 29, the 14 year old in me said OMG I LOVE HIM.
Warning, this review is totally lame, and I REALLY hope no one in RL sees it and knows it's me) - Okay, It's been a good 15 years since I read Twilight and fell blissfully in love with Edward Cullen - only for it to be completely destroyed by a movie (yes, I still hold the grudge). The movie broke my heart more than I care to admit... but when I saw that the full version of this would be released (yes I'm an OG who read it on her website way back when) - I couldn't resist. I must say it didn't disappoint, I flew through this. Sure, Edward is broody AF, moody, and stroppy - but I can forgive him. Mostly, this simply confirms how utter trash the movie was in my opinion - and confirmed that 14 year old me was indeed correct about my love of EC. He is everything I wanted him to be and more, and at 29 years old, I cried. Cried happy & sad tears for Bella, for him - and for that god-awful movie and how totally wrong it is. I firmly believe SM wrote this for girls like me, 29 almost 30ish girls who fell in love with a boy in a book, who really needed to see him again, mend that broken heart. Now, my heart is crushed by knowing what will happen in New Moon, so please - can we have an Edward version of the rest??

"Ran out of air"
Made me fall in love with Bella all over again - and surprisingly gave EC a personality. Absolutely brilliant. Better than I imagined.
And unbelievablly hilarious how Edward jumps from depressing and brooding to horny af within a few sentences 😂👏

Yawn, yawn!
What a disappointment... Edward is boring, the story is boring and I don’t understand why anyone would think this was anything other than boring. Loved the original series, but this lacks the storyline and intrigue... I was hoping for new plots and revelations that Bella did not know about, but it had nothing new worth 20hours of listening. Indeed, I now feel Edward is a melancholy bore not worth Bella’s time!

Poorly Written
Poorly written, not even two dimensional characters. I enjoyed all other work by this author.

Omg Jake is awesome
I remember how much I loved his performance in the Host so I was truly looking forward to listen to him here. He did not dissapoint! Also, the beginning message read by Stephanie killed me 😭 this was so iconic. I love this story with my whole heart! At first I felt like it would be too long but now that its over I am crying. Time to re watch all thr movies I suppose. 😭 I'm so happy yet so sad.
