Midnight Sun (Meyer novel) Midnight Sun (Meyer novel) Midnight Sun is an unreleased companion novel to the book "Twilight" by author Stephenie Meyer. The work retells the events of "Twilight", but is written from the perspective of Edward Cullen instead of that of the series' usual narrating character Bella Swan. Meyer stated that "Twilight" was to be the only book from the series that she planned to rewrite from Edward's perspective. To give them a better feel of Edward's character, Meyer allowed Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the film adaptation of "Twilight", and Robert Pattinson, the actor playing Edward, to read some completed chapters
The Twilight Saga (film series) stated the film was the best in "The Twilight Saga" so far, acknowledging that, "The person who should be worried is Bill Condon, the director tapped for the two-part finale, "". He's got a real challenge to make movies as good as "Eclipse"." A.O. Scott of "The New York Times" praised David Slade's ability to make an entertaining film, calling it funny and better than its predecessors, but pointed out the acting hasn't improved much. A more negative review said that while ""Eclipse" restores some of the energy "New Moon" zapped out of the franchise and has enough quality performances
