Synopsis
For Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. But being in love with a vampire is more dangerous than Bella ever could have imagined. Edward has already rescued Bella from the clutches of an evil vampire but now, as their daring relationship threatens all that is near and dear to them, they realise their troubles may just be beginning…
Review
New Moon is the second book in a trilogy and follows smoothly on from where the first book Twilight left off.
The book focuses on Bella as she tries to come to terms with the loss of her relationship with Edward, and how she finds strength in a new friendship with Jacob Black. Meyer manages to tie themes of relationship issues in with vampires and werewolves as seamlessly here as in the first book.
Jacob was my favourite character – and when it became easy to see a love triangle developing I was definitely rooting for him!
The book moves along at a swift pace and sweeps you along with it to the extent that it becomes completely believable that these fantasical characters exist – although I was slightly put out by the group of tourists who were destined to become thirst quenchers!
All in all it’s a very enjoyable and easy read – and it’s Young Adult status shouldn’t put off any older readers. I’ve moved onto the third book in the series already!
About the author
When Stephenie Meyer woke up in July 2, 2003 she had no idea that her life was about to change forever. This stay at home mom of three boys had a dream that featured such realistic characters that she couldn’t get them out of her head.

I READ ALL THE BOOKS TWICE I LUURRRVVVEEEE IT!
all io ever talk about is twilight
sometimes i wonder if mi friends r gonna ditch me for tlkin bout it 2 much lolz
I am mid-way through “New Moon” and like it better than “Twilight”. I love vampire books, especially those of Anne Rice. I can see where Meyer has borrowed from Rice in that her vampires are marble-like and similar to the eldest and strongest vampires in Rice’s Vampire Chronicles. It helps the story to have a way for vampires to be able to come out in the daytime so Edward, etc. can attend High School.
One of my biggest problems with these books is that the vampires have so little self control that the mere sight or smell of blood can set most of them off. That seems pretty far fetched. Only vampires who are totally out of control are supposed to do that. As a 50 Something female rather than a teenager I can’t help but feel less sympathy for Bella who seems like a real head case than for most of the other characters. She’s often belligerant, rude, and anti-social. It is. also, not normal for a female not to discuss her relationships/break-ups with at least one female friend-not that she had to say Edward was a vampire. Not only that, but it just shows how naive and innocent she is in her romantic fancies that she can’t see that Jake would be a much better choice for her than Edward. Werewolf or not, he is at least, flesh and blood, warm, and probably not going to hurt her during a passionate kiss. Plus, she could marry him and have children and make her father and Jake’s dad happy.
Alice is my favorite character. Whatever else happens in the books, I hope things go well for her.
hi.
i was just wondering when the new moon movie will be released?
tnx so much. i’m so excited
I totaly know what you mean about how its so much better when you read about Edward but the fact that hes not there is very important to the whole book. he will be back at the end of the book and it is quit intresting when he comes back so keep reading and read the whol series i just finished its great
