"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.
