Always wanted to know that backround history of the other vampires and characters in the saga? Well this book has everything from Alice Cullen to Sam Uley. Never have I ever thought that you could know how each character came to be, Stephenie has spent alot of time on this book to come up with each characters history and backround, shes done an amazing job with it. Was awsome to read that the vampire James had something to do with Alice being changed into a vampire and what a scary upbringing she had even though she barely remembers her human life. An amazing book, an absolute must read for all Twilight fans.

I waited so long for this to come out, as many fans did, however was literally shocked when I read this book. Where to start. Well, the main problem I found with this book was that I already knew 99% of the information in it, just from the films and books. The 1% I didn't know wasn't worth knowing from some of her interview, which was far too long and overdone. I'd been to Ms. Meyer's homepage and read what she has had to say there, and a few other places, so knew most of what was in her interview section. The second feature I found was the graphics – excuse the pun, but they really did suck. They were extremely basic, yet I'd had high hopes for these as I did for the rest of the book. All in all, if you are a fan, and you've read the series of books, seen the movies, unless you get it as a gift I wouldn't advise you to bother buying it. I give it a 1 star even though I am a serious Twilight fan.

The jigsaw peices on the front of the book really do have meaning with this, the Offical Guide simply links all the books in the Twilight Saga together, this gives you a great insight into each of the Covens and the Wolf Pack and shows the direction that Stephenie has gone with during the saga.

A definite purchase for any Twilight Fan.
