Title: The short second life of Bree Tanner
Author: Stephanie Meyer
Place: Forks, Seattle
Time: 2009
Main characters:
Bree Tanner: She became a vampire when she was 16 years old. She is shy, and she doesn’t say so much in the beginning of the book. That changes when she meets her future friend Diego.
Diego: He became a vampire when he was 18 years old. He likes to do things he’s not allowed to with Bree, but he still respects the roles, sometimes.
Riley: He is the leader of the vampire group. None knows him or even dare to talk to him. He is the one who decide what the vampires is allowed to do, but something the other vampires doesn’t know is that someone called Victoria say and choose what Riley can say and do.
Victoria: The leader over Riley which none of the newborn vampires knows, except Riley.
For those who have red the books in The Twilight saga, know that Bella is the main character and she and the Cullen’s, the vampire family, are the good ones. At least you thought so, but did you ever imagine it differently? That they where the bad ones? Probably not… Not me either.
The book starts with an introduction where the author, Stephanie Meyer, tells why she wrote the book. There we can see why she wrote an Eclipse novella with another main character and perspective than the other books in the Twilight saga. This book is different because Bella, who is normally the main character and the one who is telling her story, barely is in this book. She is just one of the others, and nothing important at all. Bree Tanner is the one telling her story in this book. She is a newborn vampire and we follow her in a few days of her life, until it ends in one of the largest vampire wars so far in the vampire history. Have you already red book number tree, you know the how this book ends. That’s not the exciting part. The exciting part is how the life of a newborn vampire is, how they feel and act.
This is a book you shouldn’t read if you haven’t red Twilight, New Moon or Eclipse. That’s because this is kind of the same story as Eclipse, but in another perspective. It is also smart to know the story which is told in the two first books, before you read this one. The Twilight saga is as non-realistic as you can get it. The fact that Bella is girlfriend with a vampire and best friend with a werewolf.
I think Stephanie Meyer was smart to write this book, because then we understand the vampires a little bit better than before, and I think the Twilight saga is better now than before I red this book. When I red Eclipse and all of the other books in the saga, I thought that the newborns were evil and heartless, but in The short second life of Bree Tanner I ended up caring for them. I got to know their deepest secrets and thoughts, and I released that they weren’t that cruel as I thought. They just did what they had to do to survive.
This was an interesting book that I’m glad I red. Stephanie Meyer writes in a way that you feel that you’re in the story with the characters. That you’re experiencing and breathing the same things and air as them, and that is an amazing feeling. I strongly recommend this book to everyone, especially those who already have red the Twilight saga, but for you other, I promise you; read the Twilight saga and then this book. Or else you would miss a great story and a journey to a totally different than ours.
