Description
Legions of readers entranced by Twilight are hungry for more and they won't be disappointed. In New Moon, Stephenie Meyer delivers another irresistible combination of romance and suspense with a supernatural twist. The "star-crossed" lovers theme continues as Bella and Edward find themselves facing new obstacles, including a devastating separation, the mysterious appearance of dangerous wolves roaming the forest in Forks, a terrifying threat of revenge from a female vampire and a deliciously sinister encounter with Italy's reigning royal family of vampires, the Volturi. Passionate, riveting, and full of surprising twists and turns, this vampire love saga is well on its way to literary immortality.

New Swoon Mar 14, 2010 Well, love it or hate it I have to say that New Moon is an improvement on Twilight.
(before I continue its probably best to say that I am not the target audience for this saga - adult male fan of earlier vampire stories)
In case you've been living under a rock, or perhaps are only generally familar with the plot of the Twilight saga, New Moon begins with the sundering of Edward and Bella, and follows Bella as she 'deals' with the break-up.
The intial section of the book isn't too bad. We see Jacob as he goes through the process of becoming a werewolf, and learn about the werewolf mythology of the story. Tension is created by the possibility that the werewolves are killing people, and the appearance of some evil vamps from Twilight.
Once Edward appears in the story things get a bit slow and stupid. (APOLOGIES FOR SPOILERS) Edward decides to commit suicide after a rather ridiculous misunderstanding were he asks where Bella's father is and assumes the funeral he is attending is Bella's. We are then greeting with far too many pages of Bella racing across the world in what feels like an entirely unauthentic Itality and a slightly campy confrontation with the suspense filled Volturi.
This is probably just me, but I also find Bella's negotiations with Edward towards becoming a vampire verging on the ridiculous, and Edwards emo gushing about suicide pathetic.
While New Moon isn't as cringe-worthy as Twilight, it still doesn't deserve the heavy handed and conceited associations with Romeo and Juilet. And the story does drag at 550+ pages.
Sad attempt at writing... Mar 13, 2010 I will say that a huge section of the middle was just dragging out the much awaited reunion, that was a "tiny" bit frustrating. I did enjoy the emergence of Jake. He is a very likable character. However, the he got very boring when so much time was spent on pointless information about him. You only mention things in a book when they are of importance later on! When the reunion happened the book immediately improved. Yet, it was a bit too late. Overall, too much fluff for no real big punch line.
its mostly about bella complaining Mar 13, 2010 it is a good book, but i think Bella complained half of the time.
Great Mar 12, 2010 I love this book. If i compare it to the other books i have to say this is the least favorite. Its not bad is just that i like the others better. I like the story better in the others. I don't like how Edward leaves her and then there it goes. Jacob Black being the hero i don't like it but its still good. If you like Twilight or any book you must get this.
Is New Moon better than Twilight ? Mar 09, 2010 Well, for me it's tie. If you liked the gret action and mix of romance in the 1st one than you will like New Moon. Although it's not the same without Edward. O im giving to much away! Anyway,New Moon doesn't fail to entertain.
