The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide (The Twilight Saga #4.5)
The interview in this book was what made it for me. I feel like it made me love Stephanie and her stories even more than before. Getting into the head of my favourite authors is an absolute privilege and honour.She has definitely inspired me to get back to my own writing and not feel so much pressure. I can write a story that I want to read without feeling the need to write a book with a whole lot of lessons and morals. It can just be real to me and I can enjoy it.
*The Goodreads rating should probably be a 4, but out of principle I give everything Twilight related 5 stars. Silly, but that's the way it is.I am evenly split between happiness and disappointment. There were so many wonderful bits of information in the Guide, things I never thought to wonder about and answers to numerous niggling questions. However, so many things were left out - things that I'm sure Stephanie knows and are really essential pieces of information for any Twilight lover.On the
Full disclosure, I skimmed the interviews about the writing process because I didn't think the writing was good. I also completely skipped the plot points for each book because I literally JUST read the series, so there was no point to rereading it.

An official guide to a bestselling series written by the author seems like a golden opportunity -- it's a chance for the author to reveal parts of their series that didn't make it into their original novels.

Most of the content is recycled stuff you could easily find on any Twilight website or wiki, and it's padded out with endless fluff, disingenuously dull interviews with

I'd like to give 0 stars but as it's impossible... there's one... Such books are just pulished to pull the target audience's money out of their pockets. While there are some reaaaaaaaaaally good guides or compendiums (compendia?) for some series like the Black Dagger or Dark Hunters ... this one sooooo isn't worth its money! In BD I get interviews, too - but not with the author! With the characters! With the DH guide you even get useful stuff like a recipe for cooking a cajun meal! But this?
