This just out: @stephenrplatt in @TheTLS on Sparks:
"Johnson is doing here what he does best: patient long-form journalism based on years of first-hand research and interviews. The result is a book that is bold, necessary and morally urgent."

@ArmchairQBacks They're both stand-alone books, so you can read them in either direction. Maybe start with Twilight since it comes first chronologically. Hope you enjoy!
