highly recommended

Bella and Edward, and their family and friends, have faced countless dangers and philosophical dilemmas in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight novels. This book is the first to explore them, drawing on the wisdom of philosophical heavyweights to answer essential questions such as: What do the struggles of "vegetarian" vampires who control their biological urge for human blood say about free will? Are vampires morally absolved if they kill only animals and not people? From a feminist perspective, is Edward a romantic hero or is he just a stalker? Is Jacob "better" for Bella than Edward?

As absorbing as the Meyer novels themselves, Twilight and Philosophy:
Gives you a new perspective on Twilight characters, storylines, and themes Helps you gain fresh insights into the Twilight novels and movies Features an irresistible combination of vampires, romance, and philosophy

Twilight and Philosophy is a must-have companion for every Twilight fan, whether you're new to the series or have followed it since the beginning.

Twilight & Philosophy: Vampires,Vegetarians,&the Pursuit of Immortality

I enjoyed the book....It's very interesting I would love to be able to be Immortal to stay young and viberant..It would also be awsome if there were vampires that look like Edward Cullan (Robert Paterson)Hot Very Hot!!!
Stephenie Meyer, Is one of the best writers...I truely hope she contenues to write more Twilight Books because there could be more to the story even though Bella is a vampire.So So Much More...


Twilight and Philosophy

I'll start off by saying this, I am now part of team Jacob. That's what this book did to me. They made some very valid points about Edward being a bit abusive and controlling, and if he weren't a hot vampire, something tells me we would all see this series a little differently.

I think Twilight sends the wrong message to kids, impressionable kids, and young women, thinking there are going to be Edwards or Jacobs out there dying for you or wanting to be with you that way. Men are not like that. Not real ones anyway. And if anyone does get that insane, then they might not be safe to be around.

I think the essay's that really got me were the one's written by the editor, Rebecca Housel. She really pointed out a lot of Edward's controlling behaviour, hiding things from Bella and really being utterly unreasonable. Jacob takes Bella for who she is, to truly be with Edward, Bella would have to change who she is and never be with her friends or family again - what kind of exchange is that? A foolish one, if you ask me...a really great read! One of the best from this series! A must read!

Interesting, thought provoking, a bit overanalytical

This will be short: I'm a big Twilight fan so was interested to see what this book was all about. I found it to be worthwhile, although a bit overanalytic. I mean really--delving into the name of "Forks" because it is a sharp, pointed object? Puh-leeze. I enjoyed the Twilight series because it's a good story with characters that seemed real to me...not because I wanted to spend time pondering whether or not Bella epitomizes modern feminism.

Good read, but should have been a great read

A co-worker and Twilight fan gave me this book to read and yes, I am a Twilight fan too. I liked the different point of views about the saga plus learned those interesting facts. Thumbs up to all the contributing authors EXCEPT for Rebecca Housel (The "Real Danger" and The Tao of Jacob) and Naomi Zack (Bella Swan and Sarah Palin). Housel has apparently never read any of the Twilight books because she is factually incorrect so many times that her stories are laughable while Zack's attempt to compare Bella Swan to Sarah Palin is just plain ridiculous and silly. I recommend the book, but do yourself a favor and skip Housel's and Zack's lame stories.
