Being a Twilight fan I loved this book. Although it's the retelling of the first book,it never gets tedious to read.Moreover rather than only including the events of the first book Meyer has included several detailed flashbacks which give us an insight of Edward's and other vampire's characters. Also because our dear Edward can read minds, an insight into his mind gives us an insight into everyone's mind. Due to this not only we get to know about him but also about everyone else. Also we get to know where was Edward, What was he doing and thinking when he was away from Bella..All in All it's a lovely book.
