I did enjoy this. It was very informative, funny & the CRINGE was real 😅 But overall, it got me in the feels, as teenage me loved it all. I do wish, however, that I had read it when it was still relevant. Most of the links and such given no longer work and certain shops have shut down. It's also a shame that Stephanie Meyers website isn't still in use (last post from early 2018).

It really was scraping the bottom of the barrel to fill out its pages

When I finished the Twilight saga for....oh, the umpteenth time...I wanted more. Actually, okay, I'll admit it--I needed more. Something to keep the Team Edward juices flowing, I wasn't really ready to leave the story just yet, for fans, you know just what I mean.

This book was the perfect quencher. The author really gives the reader a fulfilling experience, the essays were beautiful and thought provoking, the details about the story within Bedazzled were complete. I cannot encourage nor can I celebrate this book enough. If you love the world of Twilight then this is a must own...a MUST READ. I finished the book in one evening. It's a light read, but packed full of all the Werewolf/Vampire goodness you need and want!

Книга-паразит или що е изпражнение на изпражнение?

Понякога си мисля, че Книголандия е станала твърде мило място. Малко или много подбирам книгите, които чета и затова рядко ми се налага да критикувам и оплювам.

Сега обаче Хелуин идва и тъмни сили витаят над клавиатурата ми. Иска ми се да направя нещо лошо. И ще се поддам на желанието си. Искам да погромя “книга”. Защото това не може да бъде книга в истинския смисъл на думата. Това е паразит. И изпражнение на друго изпражнение. Гнусно.

Нека е ясно – не съм чел това нещо, нямам и ни най-малко намерение да го правя. Не съм чел и “Здрач”, крайно невероятно е това да се промени. Но не мисля, че тези неща ще ми попречат да ви представя тази гротеска.

This book was okay, but it really just talked about things I already knew. My favorite thing about the book was the list of resources. Some of the books listed sound interesting.

Also, there's one point in the book were the author mentions Harry Potter and refers to Cedric as a senior. Cedric was not a senior. They go to Hogwarts, not an American high school, and are named by their year (1st year, 2nd year, etc.). Cedric was a 7th year.

If you are a true Twihard...this is a must. Loved it!
