New Moon (The Twilight Saga)

Wow due to the fact that i didnt enjoy the first book twilight that much simply cause i had watched the movie first something i will never do again, i went into this next instalment with caution. It turned out to be one hell of a read.

Wow due to the fact that i didnt enjoy the first book twilight that much simply cause i had watched the movie first something i will never do again, i went into this next instalment with caution. It turned out to be one hell of a read. Bella is celebrating her birthday at the cullen home hen she accidentally gives herself a paper cut that sends edwards vampire brother jasper into a frenzy, when all is said and done he tells Bella he is leavubg and he will never put her in harms way again. Bella drops into a deep depression until her friend Jacob pulls her out of the darkness. Her lostness feeling for Edward and still being tracked by the evil vamp Victoria, whats next Jacob a werewolf? Read and see but it all equalled one thing and that was a major anticipation of the next book in the series. Stephanie Meyer has a winnmer in this series. I just hope after all is said and done with this and she goes on to her next project, she will be able to top this are even come close to the twilight books? We will have to wait and see.   hide

Really gr8!! after Twilight..the standard has been well maintained!! There's enough action, romance, and intrigue to keep your eyes glued to the pages, ignoring your other responsibilities for the few days it takes to read. Even though Edward was not in this book much, the emotions left behind by his departure felt real!!..the eyes go wet..the heart breaks n u feel 4 ed n bella!! n the...more

The Most frustratingly annoying character I ever read about and unfortunately though he first person. If I could shake Bella I would, Every minute and every day because I couldn't put the bloody book down. By the end I didn't know how I got there and why I NEEDED to by the next book. Maybe the author uses subliminal messages somehow, or maybe it was something about the dialogue and the...more

The Most frustratingly annoying character I ever read about and unfortunately though he first person. If I could shake Bella I would, Every minute and every day because I couldn't put the bloody book down. By the end I didn't know how I got there and why I NEEDED to by the next book. Maybe the author uses subliminal messages somehow, or maybe it was something about the dialogue and the distinctly different characters. I almost called them 'people'. Or maybe I remembered highs school and crushes better than I thought. All I know is that I was trapped and the only way out was to finish the series.   hide

Let me be upfront about the "Twilight" series--I am not a fan. I think Bella has no interests outside of her relationships, but she's not boy-crazy. I also think there is too much drama in Twilight & New Moon (I have not read the other two). That being said, New Moon was a better book than Twilight, well, once I got past p. 93.

Let me be upfront about the "Twilight" series--I am not a fan. I think Bella has no interests outside of her relationships, but she's not boy-crazy. I also think there is too much drama in Twilight & New Moon (I have not read the other two). That being said, New Moon was a better book than Twilight, well, once I got past p. 93. I really liked Bella's developing friendship with Jacob, and to be honest, he's a much better match for her than Edward. Bella and Jacob talk, laugh, make jokes and seem to have fun together; Bella seems to have none of these things with Edward. Her attraction to Edward seems to be based only on chemistry and attraction, and quite possibly, a fascination with vampires or becoming a vampire. The story moved along well after Bella's deep mourning period after she & Edward broke up. Interesting twists, and the plot kept the pages turning. In closing, still not a fan, and I enjoy the "Marked" series by PC & Kristin Cast better.   hide

Re-Read November 25th, 2009 4 Stars Apparently, amongst "Twilight" fans, "New Moon" is their least favorite. Most (rabid) fans (including my nephew Andrew) despise it!! Of COURSE ("of course"), that means that I love it. Totally. I love how dark and slightly mad it is. And I love it because its EXACTLY how I would have reacted. Totally.

Of COURSE ("of course"), that means that I love it. Totally. I love how dark and slightly mad it is. And I love it because its EXACTLY how I would have reacted. Totally. I see myself in Bella more and more (still, minus the whole "I'm in love with a Vampire" thing)and as that grows, my intense "like" for these books has become love.   hide

This was my favorite Twilight saga book.... because it was the only one I liked. I find this particular novel to be the most creative and it just sucked me in... it is junk food reading, and is a bitter sweet experience. Read this one next to a fire place on a comfy couch with hot chocolate or tea... it's a feel good cliffhanger book that builds up over optimistic expectations on "love". The only...more

This was my favorite Twilight saga book.... because it was the only one I liked. I find this particular novel to be the most creative and it just sucked me in... it is junk food reading, and is a bitter sweet experience. Read this one next to a fire place on a comfy couch with hot chocolate or tea... it's a feel good cliffhanger book that builds up over optimistic expectations on "love". The only thing that could have added to this eye candy is a good sex scene which is sadly absent... In conclusion, it is not a good adult romance novel, it is a good children's "romance" novel. If you bought it read it...   hide

At this point, I am deep in the series and cannot objectively review this as a freestanding book. [Meyers writing is so good, though, that I can't believe I am reading chapter after chapter of Bella's thoughts and emotions and I have NEVER been tempted to quit the book. I think that is a great statement about Meyer's writing.] But, as a continuation of the story, I LOVE it! ...more

I think that is a great statement about Meyer's writing.] But, as a continuation of the story, I LOVE it! Jacob is so endearing, and I the werewolf aspect of the story works for me. Bella's daredevil efforts are very interesting. And I still love the Cullen family. I'm beginning Eclipse but am nervous about what I hear about Breaking Dawn.   hide
