"The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner" is very, very short indeed. Considering that it's also available free (and legally) online, there really isn't much reason to buy it, unless (like me) you like the look of a complete set of Stephenie Meyer books sitting on your shelf. The story itself was not bad at all. This is the first published outing in the Twilight world not narrated by Bella, and it provides an interesting insight into how the vampire set look at the world. As we all know from Eclipse, Bree is a newborn vampire created by Victoria as a tool in her battle against the Cullens. I enjoyed reading Bree's growing awareness of her lot in life and her realization of just how much she's been manipulated. Having read Eclipse, we all know that things don't end well for poor Bree. Stephenie Meyer's achievement here is that she holds our interest from start to finish even though we know how it will all turn out. All in all, I'm glad to have read this story, and consider it a nice side-note to the Twilight series.
