The narrative provides a profound insight into Edward's character, revealing his fears, insecurities, and the moral dilemmas he faces as a vampire in love with a human.One of the highlights of "Midnight Sun" is the way it fleshes out the backstory of various characters, enriching the overall world-building of the Twilight universe.

Another great read, this book did nothing less than what I expect it would. It roped me in, and it was a quick read. The shipping was also fast which I enjoyed.

Loved this book!

Love seeing this story through Edward’s eyes.

Only reason I took a star was because I bought it brand new and it looked like it was dropped. I collect the series so that was a tad disappointing, otherwise it was in great shape.

i am 20 and really want to start reading again. i picked this book up a couple months ago and could NOT put it down. cannot find any other book i can get in to like i can with this series.

If you are a fan of Twilight you should read this book. I couldn't put it down.

I am one of those who like to know the other side. While I'm reading or watching a movie I always wonder what the others are doing or what their thoughts were. So I really enjoyed Edwards side of the story.

Well worth the buy, love this book.

Me gustó mucho el libro

Good book. The cover looked a little damaged though.

I like the serie

Amazon delivered in a sturdy bubble mailer. As opposed to the usual flimsy ones so the book was better protected and reached me without being damaged. This is most likely due to the heft of the book. It's twice as long as Twilight. Edward rambles. Though Meyer's uses this change in narrative effectively to showcase his personality.Overall, a fun read. Emmett by far being the best part of the read IMO. I liked getting not only a glimpse into Edward's mind but getting to see more of the other vampire characters and how they think.
