pretty good, interesting to see the story from the other side ( )

It took me about four to five pages to get over the incongruent grammar and missing punctuation, but once I did this offshoot novella was easy and fairly entertaining to read. I don't really understand, though, what its purpose was. There wasn't enough depth in the plot to satisfy any reader--not to mention the author. Perhaps an exercise in character development? Or a small morsel to appease avid and blood-thirsty (haha) fans. In any case, it was a fun and harmless diversion for a good hour or so. ( )

Interesting twist on eclipse. I'm kind of over the whole twilght phenomena but I like Stephanie meyer's use of emotion in her storytelling so I'll keep reading her :) ( )

Eh it was what it was. A Twilight novella. I'm not sure you can expect a lot and if you go into it with little to no expectations you can't truly be disappointed. It was a little glimpse at another side of the story. You knew how it was going to end. It's SM so you know it's not exactly going to be a literary masterpiece. It is what it is. Don't expect it to be more and enjoy it for that. ( )

Meyer's work is both celebrated and castigated for the fact that the supernatural element is entirely incidental. Take away bloodsucking and mind-reading, and the story of the handsome suitor, his fiery rival and the girl they both wish to protect and claim chugs along as easily as it has for hundreds of years. But in "The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner," this narrative apparatus is missing -- and without it, Meyer is a bit at sea.
 
Its few promising moments – Bree's pleasure when no humans interrupt a special moment with Diego, because "all the screaming would have ruined the mood", a chillingly thorough massacre of a whole ferry-load of people – are insufficient to redeem it from being woefully, leaden-footedly pedestrian throughout. In fact, the most interesting thing about it is the cover.
