waste of time

I bought the book hoping for more character depth in the known people from Twilight (due to Edward's ability to hear thoughts). But apparently all humans are shallow boring and annoying. It's hard to understand why Edward assumes Bella's thoughts which he cannot hear are so much better. We know from Twilight that she is extremely superficial abd judgemental.
I recommend this book to anyone who is also shallow and would like to listen to 10h of Edward using a million synonyms and bad mythologically inspired allegories for pain and suffering.
Unbearable.

The speaket on the other hand did a great job

oh my, what a torture

Edward is a predator ... not because he's a vampire but because he's torturing his listeners with unending boredom. You just wish it will come to an end but it drags on and on and on.
I seriously pity the unfortunate guy who had to read it out.

Besser als das Original?

Der Sprecher ist großartig und hat der Geschichte eine unglaubliche Tiefe und Chataktervielfalt gegeben.
Die Geschichte hat mir dabei aus Edwards Perspektive fast besser gefallen als aus Bellas, besonders die Interaktionen der Cullens miteinander haben für die Orginal-Geschichte eine ganz neue Dimension erschaffen.

Interessanter als erwartet

Eigentlich ist mir die Twilight Saga mittlerweile zu kitschig, aber um der alten Zeiten Willen musste ich mir das ganze nun aus Edwards Sicht anhören.

Es war tatsächlich besser als Bellas Sicht damals, nur die Gedanken aller war diese Sicht viel interessanter.

Für alte Twilight Fans auf jeden Fall ein Muss.

New Favorit

Eine so tolle Stimme mit viel Emotion!
Mir Persönlich gefällt dieses Buch fast besser als Twilight und ich würde mir wünschen es gäbe sie alle 4 aus seiner Sicht. Vieles wird so viel verständlicher.

Geschichte gut, Sprecher SUPER!!!!

Die Geschichte aus Edwards Sicht gibt der Lovestory mehr Tiefe. Allerdings stören mich die ständigen Zweifel auf Dauer etwas.

Der Sprecher ist super! Er bringt jede Stimmung perfekt rüber. Er gibt jedem Charakter eine eigene Note. VIEL BESSER, als die Sprecherin von Twilight.
Schade, dass es noch keine anderen Hörbücher mit ihm gibt. Ich hoffe, das kommt noch!!

Why did we like this story again?

Before I say anything else: Jake Abel did a great job. He conveyed Edward's emotions (if he decided to have any) perfectly. It is great listening to him and if you want to you can use his calming voice to fall asleep but he's also great at keeping you engaged. I was only ever bored because of the story and never because of him.
The story. Was pretty boring. The insights we get into different characters minds is very interesting and the additional information about the Cullens and their meetings and interactions is obviously great. But I have to admit that I don't think that Bella and Edward are very interesting. Throughout the chapters I caught myself wishing for Edward to stop being such a horrible emo boy. I'm still annoyed that he refused to turn Bella even though she clearly wanted him to. Carlisle and Charlie are hands down the best characters.

If you enjoyed the original books, you'll probably like this one. And if you're here to enjoy the shit-show that is Edward Cullen's mind then you'll enjoy yourself too.

Twilight reinvented, awe rekindled!

So glad this book made it into the world after all this time! Edward's take on the invents is anything but a mere repetition of known events, it puts everything in a new and exciting light. Like Bella I never understood what made him fall in love with her in the first place, now I understand completely. Well written! Like with all the other Twilight books I couldn't put it down and now that I've rushed through it I regret having finished it already. Off to start my second round right away. Please give us more! I'd love to experience books 2 to 4 from Edward's point of view and maybe some of the other characters' adventures as well. Alice's and Jasper's journey towards one another and their journey to find the Cullens - would be a dream come true!

Way better than I thought it would be

Meyer managed to write Edward convincingly as the depressed 17 aka over a 100 years old vampire he is, his inner monologue was interesting to listen to and the voice they chose for him was absolutely perfect! He did have some trouble speaking as Bellas at first but quickly found a way to read her voice in a less annoying, more fitting way that suits her character well. I haven't managed to read a full book in a while and this is the first audiobook I've ever listened too and it was truly a bliss.
