Enjoyed the altered storyline

Any additional comments?

I've read a few reviews of people not liking the book, but I'm never one to go by reviews on books because I seem to find something I like in everything read. I'm a long time fan of the Twilight series so I was pretty excited when I found out about this anniversary treat.

The story plays along the same lines as the original Twilight with quite a few gender roles flip flopped. Some do remain the same though. Many of the same scenes were repeated with the flipped roles. Some dialogue was different. Towards the very end of the book things take a turn and the it ends differently than the original Twilight. I enjoyed the twist but it made me a little sad too for the lack of closure. I'd actually enjoy more if the story went further.

I liked the narrator, Michael Crouch. I hadn't heard him before and I enjoyed his performance. I would listen to more of his work.

If you like Twilight, I think you may enjoy this. To me, it was worth the credit.

The reader was great

The book was Twilight with the names and genders changed till the end of the book. I imagine it was one of the easiest books to write. After listening to Life and death I had no interest I'm hearing Twilight again because of repetitiveness.

Great books especially Life&Death!!!

I absolutely LOVE Life&Death!! I started listening to the Twilight series while driving a semi-truck over the road. Life and Death was especially cool! and I'm a 47 year old man!!!!

Interesting Concept

Any additional comments?

Although it was the same story, it was interesting to see the gender roles switched for the main characters. It gave the story a new life. Still very enjoyable. Recommended listen!

much better than the original twilight

surprisingly I really loved Life and Death. I think it was even better than the original Twilight. Beau was a much more likable character than Bella. I honestly never liked how the original series ended anyway. I thought the whole Bella pregnancy was ridiculous. I think Life and Death was a much more satisfying story and ending. it's definitely worth a listen.
