If you enjoy the Twilight books, you might also enjoy the Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris. The HBO series True Blood is loosely based on these books.
(http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Sookie-Stack... ). My wife enjoyed both Twilight and the Sookie Stackhouse books. |

Its the unpublished 5th book that Stephanie Meyer was writing and its unfinished but its basically twilight again through Edwards view. Except that Stephanie decided to stop writing it for some reason. But i have the unfinished part of it its only like 264 pages long. |

Oh! I enjoy John Saul and I think he has maybe 1 that is that type of book but never could get interested in these type of reads. Just the plain horror for me but thank you for letting me know. |

Laughing, after I saw the title "Midnight Sun" I went to Wikipedia and looked it up. Apparently, Ms. Meyer quit writing because the book was leaked on the internet. |

Yeah some overzealous fans really killed it. But since she wasnt going to write the book anymore. Well i thought i might as well get one.

Wikipedia is not a very reliable source. You should read from the authors very own website. She'll give great insight as to why she also stopped writing it. |

As quoted from Meyers herself: August 28, 2008
As some of you may have heard, my partial draft of Midnight Sun was illegally posted on the Internet and has since been virally distributed without my knowledge or permission or the knowledge or permission of my publisher. I have a good idea of how the leak happened as there were very few copies of Midnight Sun that left my possession and each was unique. Due to little changes I made to the manuscript at different times, I can tell when each left my possession and to whom it was given. The manuscript that was illegally distributed on the Internet was given to trusted individuals for a good purpose. I have no comment beyond that as I believe that there was no malicious intent with the initial distribution. I did not want my readers to experience Midnight Sun before it was completed, edited and published. I think it is important for everybody to understand that what happened was a huge violation of my rights as an author, not to mention me as a human being. As the author of the Twilight Saga, I control the copyright and it is up to the owner of the copyright to decide when the books should be made public; this is the same for musicians and filmmakers. Just because someone buys a book or movie or song, or gets a download off the Internet, doesn't mean that they own the right to reproduce and distribute it. Unfortunately, with the Internet, it is easy for people to obtain and share items that do not legally belong to them. No matter how this is done, it is still dishonest. This has been a very upsetting experience for me, but I hope it will at least leave my fans with a better understanding of copyright and the importance of artistic control. So where does this leave Midnight Sun? My first feeling was that there was no way to continue. Writing isn't like math; in math, two plus two always equals four no matter what your mood is like. With writing, the way you feel changes everything. If I tried to write Midnight Sun now, in my current frame of mind, James would probably win and all the Cullens would die, which wouldn't dovetail too well with the original story. In any case, I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun, and so it is on hold indefinitely. I'd rather my fans not read this version of Midnight Sun. It was only an incomplete draft; the writing is messy and flawed and full of mistakes. But how do I comment on this violation without driving more people to look for the illegal posting? It has taken me a while to decide how and if I could respond. But to end the confusion, I've decided to make the draft available here (at the end of this post). This way, my readers don't have to feel they have to make a sacrifice to stay honest. I hope this fragment gives you further insight into Edward's head and adds a new dimension to the Twilight story. That's what inspired me to write it in the first place. I do want to take a moment and thank the wonderful fans who have been so supportive of me over the past three years. I cannot begin to tell you how much each of you means to me. I only hope this note will stop all the confusion and online speculation so that the Twilight universe can once again become the happy escape it used to be. After this incredibly busy year, I am now focusing on spending more time with my family and working on some other writing projects. --Stephenie Midnight Sun Partial Draft (if you are having problems viewing it, please click here.)

Thank you, Esparza.

yes these books are BETTER in my opinion bc it is written for an "older-mature" audience. In other words, not so PG13ish.......they are really good ones to read!! |

I think they did the best they could. There was a lot of expectation to how the movie should've been done. But the author was there too with the directing so it was partially the way she would've wanted it also. Though i hear they have a new director for new moon. I hope the movie is good. And you notice that in twilight it always had a blue tinged kind of photos. In new moon. Its more a golden color. what do you think of the difference? |
|||
Very True. The acting was what really got me, specially Bella's friends. New Moon has a different director and is SUPPOSED to be better but we will see. You would think after all the money they earned from the 1st movie you would think they could hav done a better job. |
||||

For some reason I enjoyed New Moon the most. Might not be the book, I just got into it.
