Loved this first sequel to Twilight! The introduction of the werewolves added a lot to the story--I really liked the character of Jacob in the movie too so was glad to see his character expanded in the sequel. The description of Bella's deep depression is very realistic.
However, this book was not as well written as the first book. And it really rushed the story--the Cullens don't return to the plot til page 382 of 563 total. Meyer whips thru Alice and Bella's trip to Italy to visit the Volturi and save Edward--that should have taken a couple hundred pages based on her typical attention to detail.

I enjoyed this book even more than the first! This continues the story of Edward and Bella. Jacob becomes a much greater part of the story at this point.
I highly recommend this series!
I am a mom- and my 16 yr old loves these books too!

This series is the most addicting set of books ever. I have officially JUMPED on the Twilight Bandwagon. Yes, you may call be CRAZY, but the whole vampire thing has got me intrigued and curious.
I only gave this book 4.5 stars. Didnt like it as much as Twilight. It was a slower read too. Maybe cause I thought there were holes in the storyline. But still good enough to cause me to want to read the next one.
