Midnight Sun

I completely agree with Terry Schwartz's article about Midnight Sun:

Stephenie Meyer should definitely finish it. I found it appalling that somebody would leak the draft like that. But since the author herself decided to post it, I took my opportunity to get inside Edward's head for 12 chapters. I was able to read the first chapter before the draft was leaked and I was really excited for the book. Although I think the Twilight series is a bit fanfic-ish, I still can't deny that I am a fan. So much for trying to resist Edward Cullen's charming perfection. haha.

Midnight Sun is truly a refreshing take on the story. After reading almost the whole saga in Bella's point of view, it proved to be very amusing to read everyone else's thoughts along with Edward's. The storyline made a lot more sense. Instead of trying to decipher what goes on inside Edward's mind, the readers get to see things the way Edward sees it. I wouldn't mind reading Twilight again alongside Midnight Sun. ^^,

I'm a bit disappointed that the book is on hold. But I really can't blame Stephenie Meyer. After all, the suspense is gone. Almost a third of the book was illegally released. I'd be infuriated if that happens to me. But hopefully, she'll soon decide to continue the project. She has my utmost support. In the meantime, I'll finish reading Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles while waiting for a copy of Midnight Sun. :))
