For some reason Amazon does not specify that this book is the easy piano version. I purchased it thinking that it was the piano solo version and ended up being disappointed. The only way to tell is on the picture of the cover, the "easy piano" is very tiny on the top.

If you're like me, then the book that you want is The Twilight Saga - New Moon: Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack. Hope this helps!

This review is for the New Moon SCORE piano solo book. The score is the background music, the soundtrack for this saga is made up of the songs.
Since reading the books, then watching the movies, I spent some time listening to the scores. New Moon, in my opinion has the best orchestral score of the three movies released at this point. I can't understand why they changed composers after the New Moon Movie.
I am an elementary music teacher, piano teacher, and violist.
The New Moon SCORE piano solo book is exciting, fun to play, and a bit challenging. A previous review went through the music measure by measure pointing out differenece from the movie. This book was not meant to be karaoke! Obviously the pieces will be shorter than an entire scene in a movie. So, unless you are planning on playing along while watching the movie, this book provides a wonderful New Moon experience for a late intermediate/advanced player.
I also bought two easy piano solo books, which I'd just like to say, are not "easy". A student would need to have a firm grasp of note readying, since nothing is close to being in a "hand position". For most piano methods I'd say this is Late Book 3/Book 4 material.

It was really easy to do AND my kids love trying to play from their favoite movies as well.
