Definite Keeper. The story really made you connect with Bella's pain over losing Edward, but it shows good relationship development between her and Jacob. I fled through this book at lightning speed awaiting Edwards return. The events of this book end up being crucial in the development of events in the next 2 books. PLEASE dont skip it cause everyone complained about it.

The overall story was good, but I'm really surprised at how annoying I can sometimes find Bella and Edward yet still love the book. Edward is 5 times her age and is sometimes more immature (the whole guilt thing) than Bella.

The werewolves in this are pretty cool, even though sometimes annoying.

I found this a great read, though, even with some of the eye rolling I had to do over things that happen in it.

"New Moon" is the second book in Stephanie Meyer's Twilight saga. "New Moon" begins right where "Twilight" left off. But when things go bad during Bella's birthday party at the Cullen house (she cuts herself, and all the Cullen's have to leave to keep from hurting her), Edward decides that Bella is no longer safe with his family.

When Edward and his family leave, Bella is left devastated and depressed. But then she and Jacob become better friends, and the two enjoy many days together. The one promise Bella made Edward before he left was that she wouldn't do anything dangerous. That promise doesn't last long, and soon everyone's life is in danger.

I didn't enjoy "New Moon" as much as I did "Twilight". It does, however, have a cool writing technique. When Bella is depressed she says that time passes, but she doesn't notice. When you turn the page, all it says is "September", the next only says "October", "November", "December". Meyer's technique here definitely conveyed the emotions and tone of the novel. I was quite impressed by this.

Of course you're going to read "New Moon" if you liked "Twilight". So, get on with it.

"New Moon", the second book in Stephanie Meyer's overly-hyped teenage vampire love series, is in some ways better than "Twilight", the first. Of course, many second books are, considering characters are now established and the true meat of the story is allowed to emerge. If you enjoyed "Twilight", pick this book up and continue with the story. It's not, as some might fear, merely "Twilight 2". In fact, most of the book doesn't even involve vampires (I'm sure smart readers out there can guess what kind of things the book does take time for)! The last section of the book, while unbelievable, is exciting and dark, as well. I liked it!

Well all I can say is "I'm a lover of this series". There seems to be so much debate and love/hate going on with this series and with this author... I really don't understand any of that. It's a book people, some love it, some hate it. No problem.

This book accomplished just what I wanted it to do, it sent me to a place where I could forget all my troubles, my problems and actually feel I hadn't a care in the world compared to what was happening on the page. What else is a book supposed to do? I don't always want to learn something when I read,I don't always want to debate in my head whether this is realistic or what impact this book is having on someone else... sometimes I prefer to be entertained and I must say this series and this book did entertain me and I am thirsty for more.

I can't wait to begin the 3rd book, in fact, I don't know how I'm going to survive the night waiting for my daughter to bring it to me tomorrow morning. LoL
