 New Moon, new loves, new complications, new adventures July 17, 2008
Stephanie Meyer has done it again producing a story built around characters complex enough to be truly human even though many are not. The plot trucks and motorcycles down a different road as an old love disappears through most of the book, yielding center stage to a newly developing relationship between Bella and Jacob Black. Though Edward's presence is missing in Bella's life, he is never that far away from her heart or the mind of the reader. Ms. Meyer has made sure of that. This is a great story to sink your teeth into,
Consumed July 17, 2008
Stephenie Meyer is amazing. It's been a while since I have been so entranced with a group of characters and their story. After reading the first book of the Twilight series, I have bordered on obsession. You could pick up this book and read it first; Mrs. Meyer gives just enough detail for you to follow, but of course I would strongly recommend reading them in order! The characters are relatable (if that's an actual word) and her style of writing draws you in quickly and keeps you wrapped up until the end. And then some! August 2nd seems too far away to wait for the 4th installment!!! New Moon is most fabulous. Its thickness may be daunting to some, but trust me when I say it is well worth it. Once you get hooked, it flies by.
MUST READ!! July 16, 2008
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone. The whole Twilight series is wonderful. It's also a great book to read with your significant other =)
 The Stereotype, Sadly, Is True July 15, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
So Twilight was good, and I enjoyed it, so I was extremely happy when New Moon arrived in the mail. After I finished the book I was currently reading at the time, I set upon the sequel to the acclaimed Twilight. Unfortunately, this book is not nearly as impressive as the first. You know that stereotype where the sequel is not as great as the first? I believe it is true in this instance. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed it and will get Eclipse neverless, I just felt a little let down my New Moon. It didn't fit my expectations.
Qualm 1- Bella is SO ANNOYING! Seriously, she is one of the worst heroines I have come upon in a long time. Her life falls apart after Edward leaves her, and she is unwilling to pick it up for the longest time. All she cares about is becoming a vampire, and does not think about anyone else in the process. Basically, there is a wrong message there. She should be able to pull through, even without Edward by her side. I know they are true loves for eachother, and I totally respect that, but she doesn't act like an adult (Edward is always reprimanding her, have you noticed?). And all those stupid things she did, to be reckless, were so plain stupid! Just because you are depressed doesn't mean you should go cliff-diving without the supervision of your best friend! I really hope to see some sense and growth knocked into Bella in Eclipse and Breaking Dawn because I am really getting fed up with her. But she IS enjoyable nothingless and the heroine of the story, so I am cheering for her to become a vampire (except when she is being annoying, then I side with Edward:)
Qualm 2- I really started to like Jacob as we went on in the book, and was extremely mad with him at the end of the book. And I did know he was going to become a werewolf last book, so that wasn't surprising. But I find it unrealistic that both Jacob and Edward are all falling over Bella (along with countless other boys in the town). What is so exciting about her????? I already told you how I feel about her, but how??? Are there not any other girls in town? Ok, I am better now.
Qualm 3- Again, like Twilight, there was no action until the end. The beginning was really boring. But I found the trip to Italy facinating, so it was worth waiting for.
The Good-
1. I love Alice! She is my favorite character by far, with Edward second (Sorry Edward fans!) Although it would be all sentimental if Edward turned Bella into a vampire, Alice doing it would be nice too.
2. There were so many good things! Yeah, I had my complaints, but this book was wonderful and a piece of magic anyway. There is too much to list!
So read this book. I liked it even if it didn't live up to my expectations, and will be ready for Eclipse when it comes!
New Moon July 15, 2008
Written as well as the first. The story line continues to grow throughout this book and new characters are introduced. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading suspense novels. This book may be considered by some to be a romance, but I didn't find it to be that at all.
