Keep in mind that though this review is about to wheel off into an angry rant, this book is good. The series is addictive. And as I said previously about Stephanie Meyers, if you want to cease brain function for a few hours, she's your girl.
The beginning is slow, the middle is gold, the end is lacking. The blank pages to represent months passed in zombie-drepression, great idea.
Now, my problem. My problem is not so much with the story as it is perhaps with the idea behind the story a...more

I’ll be honest, my first impressions after finishing this the other morning was that it suffered due to a lack of Edward - having grown rather attached to him in Twilight having him disappear for the majority of this book was a let down. I understand his reasons for leaving and knew that he was coming back but as a series based around his and Bella’s relationship, not having him present undermined the story somewhat. The only times I was truly at peace with the story was when Edward was arou...more

I just added one more star to this book series for being strangely addictive... this book is better than the fist, introducing the more likeable Jacob and getting Edward out of the picture fo a while.
There are (at least) two very strange/bad things about Twilight series -
First of all, it portrays Quileute Indians in a strange, potentially fetishist way. It's written by a White woman who transforms these Native American youth into werewolf heroes, they inherit this ancient ability to tran...more

Did you like this book? Why or why not? I found the book very interesting and intriguing! I read vampire novels a lot in my last years of highschool and first years of university but outgrew it somewhat. Or at least thought that I did, lol. This book really brought me back to that fascination :) I loved the relationship between bella and edward - even though it was so unbelieveable it was incredibly real and intense. The way that they met and formed their relationship seemed so much like any oth...more

You may have heard me rant about the previous novel Twilight. I decided to read the sequel, just to see if it will get better.
Boy, was I wrong.
First off, we began with Bella Swan bitching about how old she's getting, because Edward stays 17 forever, and since her birthday is coming up, she'll be one year older than her perfect lover. Um... older than him? Looks-wise, yes, but these dumbasses don't realize is that he's 100 YEARS OLDER THAN HER! WHAT THE HELL IS HE EVEN DOING IN HIGH SCHOO...more

Again: I hated these books. Skip on by.
Unfortunately, someone has reined in Mrs. Meyer's florid prose, which means that the characters and plotline come to the forefront. I am going to assume that you, review-reader, are not itching to read this and summarize the plot:
Bella is in love with the vampire Edward, who hangs around high schools even though he's hundreds of years old. Edward likes to do things like take Bella for long rides in his car, and sit across from her bed watching her ...more

I am totally insane. Even though I totally dissed Twilight in this blog, I have an obsession with series and read New Moon.
Why do I intentionally put myself through such dreck?
New Moon is only a slight improvement over Twilight. The book has two things going for it:
First, I had no expectations going in. I already knew it would be a poorly-written romance—and Meyer did not disappoint.
Second, Bella, our heroine, and Edward, her prince, are separated throughout much of the novel. ...more

11/13/2007 - I started last night and read for 2 hours straight with another 1 hour spread over the evening before I settled in. Just as good as TWILIGHT, I can't wait to see how the story progresses. I have to comment on the story as I read so if you want to read this trilogy and don't want to know anything about the story - don't read past the **SPOILER** line. More updates soon!

NEW MOON is the much-anticipated sequel to last year's exceptional vampire romance, TWILIGHT. When I first got my hands on a thick copy of TWILIGHT, I ended up losing sleep for a week until I finished it. Night after night I could not put down the gripping tale of 17-year-old Isabella Swan and the family of vampires who virtually adopt her - some more willingly than others.
