A Review of The Twilight Saga: The Complete Film Archive

The Twilight Saga: The Complete Film Archive offers a fresh look at the adored films based on Stephenie Meyer's beloved book series.  Discover newly revealed secrets from the set through stories from the actors themselves --- including Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, and the rest of the glittering cast.  Go inside the phenomenon with removable script pages, reproductions of screening passes, VIP invitations, and set pieces, as well as other collectibles that make this deluxe volume a must-have for every fan.  Through new interviews with the stars and filmmakers, as well as unpublished images, the entire saga unfolds in rich detail: the beginning groundswell of Twilight mania, the frenzy for New Moon, the dramatic action of Eclipse, and the transformative conclusion of both Breaking Dawn films.  The love story between Bella Swan and Edward Cullen quickly became a global obsession, and this lushly illustrated volume captures the evolution like never before.

Above is the description placed on the back of this ginormous book by Robert Abele.

This book is filled with tons of information about the Twilight Saga.  I am a twihard.  I came late onto the scene by like 4 years...  but still, I LOVE twilight.  So, when I saw this book, I immediately put it on my Christmas Wish List and I'm so happy I got it!  Definitely one of the coolest books I've seen that has the "extras" in it.  In it, there is some really cool things including one of the invitations to Bella and Edwards wedding and "signed" posters in the very back of the book.  The only thing is, the posters that are signed, were ones where they printed the signatures onto the poster.  But, I still freaked out when I saw it regardless. 

So, the reason I said I was a twihard originally was this.  This had so much information in it that I didn't even know and I've watched what seems like almost every interview about this out there, watched all the "B" camera footage that are out on the Internet, and have seen all the movies and this was by far the coolest thing out of all of them.  Minus the books.  Those will always be better in my perspective.

Overall, I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars just because I know that there is obviously better books out there than this.  I also say, that if you like twilight even a smidgen that you should read this.  If you hate twilight, please just turn the other way in the store and don't even pick it up.  Your hate will be fueled for the next decade and I don't like reading negative comments only on Twilight.  But still, this was a fantastic read, it was really cool to see some more behind the scenes I hadn't seen before, and yeah.  I just really, really, really liked this book.  Haha.  You can tell I'm more passionate about twilight considering all of my other reviews can't you?  Anyway, that's my review.  Now for the "personal touch."  Haha.

So, I really enjoyed this book obviously and I hope you do too.  Also, please don't hate this whole page because I have 1 Twilight review.  I promise that is all I'm going to do considering I haven't read the actual books in so so so long.  But, there are some cool reviews on here I think so far so please go check them out!  Hopefully you will like them a lot. 

Until the next review,

-Aly
