Just for Fun, Not for Serious. Rating this book as a three may seem a little underwhelming, but I don't think the Life and Death gender swap of Edward/Edyth and Bella/Beau really hit the mark. It was a fun, fast read but I stumbled a bit over the awkward names (I mean Rosalind to Royal or Esme to Earnest? So rough.) and the weird bits about Edyth carting Beau around on her back (She's supposed to be super petite and he a lanky teen?). Stephanie Meyer did a really seamless job of pushing a lot of main story chunks into a solid story line, but like I said, I cringed a little at some-okay, a lot-of the names that were swapped. I wish that it had been a little longer, but Meyer said in her disclaimer that there was no time to pull out a whole other novel. Buy it, read it for fun, but don't hope too much for a book that will rival the original saga.

Horrible. Same as Twilight.. I LOVE the Twilight saga. Seriously, I still watch the movies on rainy days. However, I'm so disappointed in Stephenie Meyer. It's like she just used Microsoft Word to replace "he" and "she" and the rest of the names. It's exactly the same as Twilight except for the ending. What makes it even more disappointing is that it was so difficult to picture the characters of an opposite gender in my head. So frustrating to read the entire time.

-_-. U serious? I got bored first few paragraphs because it's the same exact thing! A little more effort would have been nice. (Btw I luv twilight and stuff but not this)

Twilight. Yes please

Give it a chance!. All the bad reviews on this are people saying "I downloaded the sample and it's the same book!" Well, if you wait and finish the thing you'd see that it is not. Didn't you wonder how Esme's story would play out? Rosalie's? Jasper's? Didn't you wonder how Renesmee would play in given that Bella is now Beau and is not equipped to get pregnant? Stephenie Meyer got really creative with it. The ending especially. I loved that the whole 4 book story got wrapped up nicely in one longer book. I'm betting you'd be pleasantly surprised if you just would give it a chance.

Amazing!. Loved it! Everything was so good! Love the fact that Beau became a vampire and he stayed with Edyth! It's sad that his parents think his dead though. But loved the whole book! With all the changes it was truly amazing!

Excellent Twist. Re-imaging the gender roles is great. Switching it up really opened my eyes. Edythe awes me, and the tweaks to the story as this goes along were both a great thought exercise and a way to open up a new vision into this story... and I really appreciate the afterword from the Stephanie Meyer.

PUT IT DOWN!!!. This book is a waste of your time.Who wastes there time reading sappy love story's when you could be outside playing. Listen to some gosh darn country music if ya have to.

Why. Terrible

ThankU Stephenie. I felt like this was a present, wrapped up nicely from Stephenie. A way to appease her publisher, celebrating the anniversary, while giving her fans a gift. All those copy cats out there that did "fandom" off these characters will probably imitate the core idea that she injected here. ThankU Stephenie.

My Nose Was Stuck In This Story!. I love it! It was nice to have a girl be the hero for once! I finished it in two days! If you're a hopeless romantic like I am, you'll love it too!

Not Bad but.... I could see where Stephanie Meyers was going but I was to say the least not impressed. I wasn't impressed with the characters and didn't think that the characters weren't developed enough. I'm still a fan of Twilight and I honestly wished she just would have done just a rerelease of the movie in the theaters. But, I gave it three stars cause it wasn't a total loss. Maybe for the 15 or 20 year release she do something different.

Please write a sequel to Life and Death!!!. I know it was only meant to be an experiment for you, and that you probably don't intend to give it a full life as a series given how you said your let the reader make the ending but please will you write another it can't end on a cliff hanger of this proportion! It was so good I couldn't put it down during my holiday block leave from the army, please consider making this a series I think it would do well and give your fans another "twilight " to look forward to. (Or consider a continuation on the original twilight but with Jacob and Bella's daughter nessy's story)

Is it bad that i like "life after death" better than "twilight". I love Beau and Edythe, and the new version of Twilight. I am so in love with the characters.

Pass. A fan of the author, the books, and the characters in the initial series. I understand why a male is the main character of the 10th anniversary book, but other than the gender swap of the main characters and changing the name of other characters, this is the same book! After downloading the sample, I couldn't help changing the new character names to the original and remembering Bella doing / saying the same things as Beau. For those that haven't read the twilight series, this will be a great read. Otherwise you will be disappointed. I will PASS on this one and wait for Midnight Sun.

Twilight 10th anniversary. If I could give a negative star I would. Twilight and the whole series were so much fun and I have so many fond memories of my first time reading them... This was a complete joke! The names were beyond ridiculous, the character flips were painfully awkward. I don't know if she got so much flak for not having Bella as to get character in the beginning that she decided to make her into a way less than masculine man. I don't get it. The whole thing just made me feel bad. I have no idea why publishing and Stephanie would think this garbage was even worth trying.

Help!. Is there a way or code included with the hard copy of the book to make it into an iBook?

Really good. Extraordinarily good. There have been many criticisms of Twilight - Bella's a faceless, forgettable character who only gets to be the damsel in distress. Stephenie said that a boy in her place, surrounded by vampire superheroes, would experience the same thing. Well, reimagine Twilight with Beau in her place instead. Stephenie Meyer fixed all the problems that she was itching to fix, and she came out with a stronger, more wonderful book. If you were a fan of Twilight or The Host, which remains one of my favorite books of all time, you'll like this book. SPOILERS: The ending surprised me. Of course I knew that the tracker took Bella into the ballet studio, but the outcome changed sharply there. I wondered how the emergency vampirization would go if Bella DIDN'T have a baby...as she could not as a male. Alice/Archie comes to play, and I loved that. Archie/Alice was always on the verge of changing Bella in the original, and in here, Alice plays a bigger role. I really enjoyed the swapped story. It's not 'just' swapped. It is different, and it's really cool to look at Twilight if it ended at the first book.

No reason to hate it. DUH OF COURSE ITS THE SAME STORY LINE YOU IDIOTS THATS LITERALLY WHAT IT SAYS IN THE DESCRIPTION. Sorry but if you were expecting a completely different book then you need to read something that isn't a 'reimagining' of the one you've already read. It's just a different version and if you don't like it then DON'T READ IT.

What about book 2?!!. It messed with my head since I kept slipping back to Bella and Edward, but I loved it. To me it's also important because it challenged a lot of stereotypes about gender roles I didn't know I had. Loved it and it's a must read!

Edythe & Beau!!!! I love it so much. I read Life and Death and I love it so much words can't describe. Better than Twilight. Amazing. Waiting for another Life and Death book, pleaseeeee

Just as excited to read the new version as I was the original.. This new one is as hard to sit down as the first. Being a fan I had to purchase it right away. I would love to see a completion to Midnight Sun.

Fingertips. I'm very excited for this and I think it can open up those to the book who may have otherwise felt inhibited, or in other words, they can feel more relevance to this one. Thank you. I think this is quite big actually. You stumbled onto something many have pondered but few (if any) ever attempted.

Amazen'!. Amazing, the only problem would be (SPOILERSSS) how they would have the baby. It's explained that due to women's... Ahem 'puberty' that a female vampire wouldn't be able to get preggers. But a male remains fertile their entire... Existence.?? Or would it be life..?ANYWAY that's the only plot hole I could see. Oh and the werewolf/shapeshifter thing would most likely switch roles as female being the dominant and make being only once ever heard of (blah blah blah) I'm just fangirlling aren't I?

Amazing. Life and Death was better than the entire twilight series in my opinion. Stephanie keep up the good work and write another one about Beau and Edythe!

Old yet new.... While I also agree that Steph could've celebrated 10 years by finally releasing Midnight Sun, I am quite pleased with this little (big) surprise she presented us with. Life and Death, while similar in many ways, provides its own charm and surprises separate from Twilight. To make it clear, no she did not just change the sex of each character and replace every pronoun with the opposite of itself. There is much more to this piece than you expect. Thanks Steph!

So good.. Amazing book and as a male reader I love the change in perspective as compared to the twilight series, but the ending felt rushed. A perfectly good series cut short and she said she’s making no more :(

I was skeptical.. I was a little skeptical after reading all of the reviews, but I got into this story just as much as I did the original Twilight. The gender and name changes did not make the story as confusing as others have complained about. To be honest, I liked Beau a little better than Bella (and I didn't see anything wrong with Bella when I read her story the first 20 times), I would enjoy seeing this version being turned into a series as well, but that not likely to happen. I have not yet read the accompanying Twilight that came with this version, so I am not sure what little changes/corrections may have been made. Not sure if I'm up for repeating the same story just yet though. I'll always love the entire Twilight series, but this was a great version, too.

Meh. Giving this a three for the creative world of Twilight and my appreciation of Stephenie Meyer. However the book, though intended to be "fun" feels like a moot point. The gender swapping of literally everyone with names that are just as confusing as the original names, is extremely difficult to keep up with throughout the story. It also comes to an abrupt ending - I just feel mediocre about it all. I like Beau and Edythe, just kind of wish there was more of a summary of what we'd already read in Twilight, and more of their unique story.

Dont waste your money!!!. Its the same book!!! Why re read it. ??

Just No. As a Twilight fan, this is hard to bash Meyer...but I winced as many times as there are pages in this novel. Why do the big-time authors, directors, actors, musicians, etc. have to over-do their masterpiece?

Anniversary edition. Stephanie Myers should be ashamed of ythis garbage that she put out. Twilight fans save your money! If there was a means to get a refund I would take it in a heartbeat. Shame on you stephanie you made a mockery of any fan who loved your books. Poor quality, a travesty.

Waste of Time. Out of all the stories you could have done or branches from the original, you simple change the names and genders. It is the same book maybe a few lines different but a complete waste of time! You could have wrote about Jacob and Renesme or Carlisle or any of the other Cullen family members history. Seriously disappointed!

Amazing!!. I feel bad for all the people giving this 1 star. If you would have bought the book you would have read the preface in which she talks about why she wrote this. With that said I love this reimagining of Twilight! Just reading the small paragraph of info up above makes me want to read it that much more. I'm not a big massive Twilight fan but this reimagining to great! I like stories like this where the main character is male instead of female. You hardly ever get this kinda story from that perspective.

Wow.... I first read the sample, but couldn't not read the rest. It first was kind of complicated getting used to the switch in genders, but now I have read the whole book and loved it. I really liked Twilight, but I really loved this story more. This is my opinion. Don't take it offensively.

Amazing but "difficult". I love this it is amazing...my only thing is it being so similar to Twilight I slipped into re-reading mode and that started to mess with my head but it is still incredible

Awesome. I loved it. For me this story makes more sense than the original one. I would love to read more of it. I prefer Beau over Bella!!! Just my opinion.

Not As Bad As You Think. So I read the original book and thought it was okay. I was confused why Bella fell in love with Edward and was even more confused throughout the series. When I heard Life and Death was a reimagining of Twilight I automatically assumed "over glorified fanfic", but nevertheless decided to give Myer another chance since she claimed to do corrections. Going into this book you can't read it and think it's a new story. 85% of the book follows a very similar path like the original except with gender differences. Will say this right now. If you finish the book, you'll be surprised to this new retelling. With Beau I could almost understand why Bella was awkward like she was and why she loved a vampire. The story shows a different perspective while still keeping the general idea intact. Don't read the story expecting anything new. Instead enjoy it as a kind of nostalgia compared to the original book. I'd say this book was more enjoyable and wish there was a sequel or a movie for this. I feel like it would've been better than the Kristin Stewart trainwreck. With a few plotholes answered, I'd only recommend this book to anyone who read the original series.

Wow!!. I read the reviews before I purchased this book and read it… while I do not think it is better than Twilight, it was an amazing 10th anniversary addition. This book basically mirrors Twilight to the point that I’d wish Beau was a little more different in his own right. With that said, this was still an amazing read. The end was hard for me… that’s all I can say without giving away spoilers. Nevertheless, this is “a what if” scenario, as in what if the genders were switched and the story ended here. And I think in that light it was a great redo of the story. Thank you Stephenie Meyer!!

2nd book please!!!!. Now!

Just awful!. I am a fan of the original, and I downloaded the preview of this new one and it is just god awful!!! She should have just kept writing midnight sun and given up on this train wreck of a book. If I could give a zero star rating I would have.

Falling in love for the second time. It's refreshing and lovely to read this love story again I love it.!

Depends on the person. I personally loved the twilight books. LOVED THEM! I heard there was a new book and was excited. I got the sample first and started reading. It was hard because I automatically tried to figure out who was the real character from twilight. I did not go on to buy the book but if I know people may love this book so I gave it a 3 stars

Omg!!!❤❤❤❤❤. Le livre est tellement bon!!!! J'espère quel fera un deuxième livre!!! ❤❤❤👍👍👍

Good addition to your 'Twilight' collection. As a commemorative 10th Anniversary edition, I think the book is good. Yes, we all know it isn't 'Midnight Sun' which we are all still hoping for, but it is a nice version with a bit of a spin. It is enjoyable and I would recommend it.

INCREDIBLE!!!!! More PLEASE!!!!!!!. I feel bad for anyone who didn't read passed the sample. The subtle and obvious changes to go with the gender swaps made it feel like reading it for the first time all over again. I loved the original books, but this overshadowed them in my opinion. I came in with the intension of re-reading the original series, but after experiencing this I need more of this fresh story with so many more possibilities to come. I want to know what will happen next for Beau and Edythe.

Amazing!!! Anything I could want from a gender swap book. Amazing!!! Anything I could want from a gender swap book

What utter Nonsense. I am so glad I decided to checkout the sample and could not get pass after a few pages, what utter garbage. Can you imagine if J K Rowling decided to rewrite Harry Potter with a female, yeah that would be stupid. J K Rowling was very smart in bringing out Harry Potter on iBooks with moving pictures and did well because she is a very good writer. You took a good story (not the writing) and butcher it. Everyone wants to be loved, look at E L James with Grey, it did very well not because of the sex but because of the love story. Even if this book was free it will not do well. If anyone wants to read a good love story try Beautiful Demons by Sarra Cannon and the first 3 books is free. Don't waste your money on this garbage. You could take lessons from PA Lassiter, she did a really good job and finished midnight sun
