Little Sister's review: Stephenie Meyer should stick to this short story format. I found this book an engrossing fast and easy read, without the superfluous weird and annoying bits that Meyer injects into her longer novels. She does a fair job of instilling the reader with the sense of fear and fast paced panic that exists in Bree's dangerous, constantly-awake, exposed world. Meyer seems to like Bree a lot more than her other characters, and so do I. Whether it was knowing what tragic ending awaits poor Bree Tanner that made me sympathize with her character, or the genuine likability of her intelligent, intuitive brain, the remnants of her human nature, the savagery of her new vampire nature, or the fact that she's so helpless and also so powerful without ever being weak and whiny and pathetic (like Bella)...or a combination of all that; I found myself wishing that Bree had not only survived, but that four long novels had been written about her instead.The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella
