The new "Twilight" book "Midnight Sun" is here. It focuses on vampire Edward Cullen and the fans literally melt away on the net.
Vampire Edward Cullen and his great love Bella Swan from the successful "Twilight" saga are back – at least in book form. "Midnight Sun" ("Bite to the Midnight Sun"), the new work by the American author Stephenie Meyer (46), has been released. It tells the story from "Bite to Dawn", the first part of the series, now from Edward's point of view. In any case, the hype surrounding the "Twilight" saga seems unbroken online.
Old feelings come alive vs. annoying vampire
Numerous fans publish photos of their books on Twitter and tweet that they feel transported back to their teens. As a reminder, the first book was published in 2005 – 15 years ago. Many loyal fans of the series have grown up with the books and films. Other fans are already quoting passages from the book and publishing the best places for them. A fan writes, you feel how the "Twilight" session from back then returns with full force.
Called a reader like the narrative perspective of Bella as "boring". They therefore "love" Edward's view of things. Another reader tweets: "I'm just falling in love again with this damn vampire". For some, the book already makes you want more, because there are fans who also want to read the other books from Edward's point of view – some also ask for extra books about the other members of the Cullen family. It is still unclear whether Stephenie Meyer will write and publish more vampire books.
However, there are also critical voices in the social networks. From Bella's point of view, Edward looked mysterious and mysterious. From his narrative perspective, he only seems "annoying and creepy", judges a fan. Other readers tweet that the vampire is simply too worried.
The "Twilight" saga comprises the volumes: "Until (dawn)", "Until (midday)", "Until (sunset)" and "Until (end of night)". In the five films – the finale was given two parts – Kristen Stewart (30) starred Bella Swan and Robert Pattinson (34) as vampire Edward Cullen. The saga flushed over $ 3.3 billion into the box office worldwide.
