About the author
Stephenie Meyer's life changed dramatically on June 2, 2003. The stay-at-home mother of three young sons woke-up from a dream featuring seemingly real characters that she could not get out of her head. "Though I had a million things to do (i.e. making breakfast for hungry children, dressing and changing the diapers of said children, finding the swimsuits that no one ever puts away in the right place), I stayed in bed, thinking about the dream. Unwillingly, I eventually got up and did the immediate necessities, and then put everything that I possibly could on the back burner and sat down at the computer to write--something I hadn't done in so long that I wondered why I was bothering." Meyer invented the plot during the day through swim lessons and potty training, then writing it out late at night when the house was quiet. Three months later she finished her first novel, Twilight.
Twilight was one of 2005's most talked about novels and within weeks of its release the book debuted at #5 on The New York Times bestseller list.Among its many accolades, Twilight was named an "ALA Top Ten Books for Young Adults," an Amazon.com "Best Book of the Decade&So Far", and a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year. The movie version of Twilight will be released by Summit Entertainment nationwide on November 21, 2008, starring Kristen Stewart ("Into The Wild") and Robert Pattinson ("Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire").
The highly-anticipated sequel, New Moon, was released in September 2006 and spent 31 weeks at the #1 position on The New York Times bestseller list. Eclipse, the third book in Meyer's Twilight saga, was released on August 7, 2007 and sold 150,000 copies its first day on-sale. The book debuted at #1 bestseller lists across the country, including USA Today and The Wall Street Journal. The fourth and final book in the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn, was published on August 2, 2008, with a first printing of 3.2 million copies - the largest first printing in the publisher's history. Breaking Dawn sold 1.3 million copies its first day on-sale rocketing the title to #1 on bestseller lists nationwide.
Meyer's highly-anticipated debut for novel adults, The Host, was released by Little, Brown and Company in May 2008 and debuted at #1 on The New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists.
Stephenie Meyer graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in English Literature. She lives in Arizona with her husband and sons.

I have written way too much here; given a million spoilers away. Basically, I'd give this book ten (10) stars, if I could!
BUY THIS BOOK IF YOU LOVE THE TWILIGHT SAGA BOOKS!!!
Also note that this book is based on the BOOKS and not the movies. As usual, quite a bit got changed when filming the story, so don't expect this book to have anything to do with the movies. Even the characters look different, as does everything else.
Maybe the most interesting things about this book for me were the thorough interview of Stephanie Meyer about how the story came to be, and the international cover arts of the different books. The same story got published in quite many different jackets. Also the Q&A section at the end of the book and the outtakes were quite fun to read.

Just slightly disappointed that it arrived in what appears to be a "used" condition I would say. Otherwise still functional

Para quem não sabe, este livro traz alguma fatos que não são apresentados na saga, você aprende um pouco mais sobre a história de outros personagens, como a Victoria, os Volturi e etc.
Este livro também apresenta ilustrações do mesmo artista das graphic novel de crepúsculo, que particularmente gosto bastante. Ressalto que a qualidade da impressão destas é muito boa.
Eu estou muito feliz com essa compra, literalmente um sonho realizado kkk.
Importante: este livro é inglês.
Observação: levou um final de semana para chegar na região central do Rio Grande do Sul. Paguei R$ 96,83 nele.

En cuanto al contenido, esta genial, amplía mucho lo contado en la saga. Es la guía ideal para los nostálgicos de Crepúsculo. Las ilustraciones son bonitas, eso sí, esperaba que tuviera más (por eso de guía ilustrada).
