The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephenie Meyer

Even though while reading the other Twilight saga books I noted that even though they were poorly written and didn't have a very good story. When I saw the little novella in my library I thought what the hell? It's a very tiny book, only around 200 pages long and it seemed silly to buy it when I thought Twilight was "okay" at best.

While reading the story of Bree Tanner, I was surprised.I didn't know why this book was better then Twilight, it had the same narration style, it was about the vampires that sparkle in the sunlight but I still read it and I still enjoyed it, It only dawned on me after I put the book down and looked at my notes on this book that I realised that this book was better because It was not about Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. It seems without any doubt the reason that Twilight was only "okay" in my mind was because I did not like Bella what so ever but Bree was a better person to listen to.

Unlike Bella, Bree had flaws. She ran away from her home and was picked up by Raoul and turned into a vampire. Her reasoning? She was hungry and Raoul offered her food. And while it sounds like a terrible reason, it has to be better then Bellas reasoning for becoming a vampire.

Now I know I can not convince anyone to read this if they already do not like Twilight, but I urge those like me who were unsure about if they liked Twilight to read this novella as it gives a lot more insight and is generally just a better book!

Thanks for reading my review! Please comment below!
