Sneak Peak at Second Volume of Twilight, the GN

Me, I've replaced vampire-themed texts with Life Sucks and Fat Vampire in my YA Lit course. Students had mixed feelings about the quality of the first GN adaptation, and I remember having a hard time finding nice things to say about it when I was looking for reviews for the rationales project.
