Story
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?

A pop culture dip into philosophy
I rather enjoyed this collection of philosophical works. Ideas, questions and thoughts through the lense of the Harry Potter masterpiece. Can get a little boggy in places, but encourages deeper thought on real life goings on.
