5 stars all the way! I'm late to the Twilight party and my review will not do it justice but this book was so good. New Moon is packed with so much. In the beginning every thing is blissful for Bella. Then shortly after her 18th birthday, it all falls apart and the Cullens leave Forks. With Edward gone, Jacob and Bella grow close and Jacob is a bright spot in Bella's life until his life changes and he becomes wolfy.

Amazing
The second installment in the Twilight series read by Ilyana Kadushin is as good as the first. Her voice is perfect for Bella's POV and the few times she "does voices" her Mike Newton and Jacob are spot on.
By all means this is a fun way to re-read the books but be forewarned, the awkwardness of Ms. Meyers prose is accentuated when heard out loud. ...more

Read this again after a bit of a hiatus.

11/13/18. This was my least favorite twilight book when i first read the series...and I feel like it might still be? Unless Breaking Dawn seriously disappoints me. But I definitely did see a new layer to the story during this re-read and related a little too much to Bella in the first hundred pages. Also, Bella is so funny and sarcastic and I ADORE Stephenie Meyer's writing. 5 stars.
