I've thought long and hard about this review. Initially I was not going to write a review at all. But due to my goal of reviewing all books read this year, I decided to try to write something.When I started reading The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, it was my intent to read it in one sitting. After reading the first 30 pages, my mind had other ideas. I started thinking about all the other things I could be doing instead of reading this book. I put it down and walked away for about an hour or so. I picked it up again and forced myself to finish.
It wasn't good. I had no idea who Bree Tanner was and didn't remember her in Eclipse. After I finished, I still had no idea who she is and finally realized I just didn't care. For all the hype this book has gotten, I found it to be anticlimactic.

You know I had know idea who she was either. I had to ask everyone and finally it was one of my students who filled me in. (Why is it they can remember that character but not my homework??)
ReplyDeleteI guess it helped having seen the film this summer, but I still have no desire to read the book.
Why didn't you like it? aside from not knowing who she was.
