Twilight and HistoryBy Nancy Reagin
Genre: Fantasy/History
Personal Rating: 7/10
This was a very interesting and random book I came across while book shopping online. Despite how it looks, this book is not by Stephenie Meyer, but an analysis on her imaginary world and characters. This book goes into details about specific times in history mentioned in the Twilight Saga--Jasper's Civil War, Edward's 1918 Chicago, Alice's insane asylum, ext. Although the Twilight world is fictional, each character's historical backgrounds shape their personalities as expressed in the books. That's what makes the books and characters in endearing. This book goes in depth with historical facts about everything from real Quileute legends to the Puritan witch hunters.
I did like this book because it was a history lesson but correlated with my favorite fictional characters. I thought it was very interesting. However, all the chapters in this book were written by different authors and there were some I liked better than others. Also, because of the multiple authors, some parts got a little repetitive. But overall, I think this would be an enjoyable read for Twilight fans.
