New Moon by Stephenie Meyer


The second book of the Twilight Saga begins with what was to be a happy occasion, the celebration of Bella’s eighteenth birthday. The event turns decidedly frightening when Bella gets a simple paper cut and everyone there realizes that the slightest sign of blood in the presence of vampires could mean the end of Bella’s life as she knows it. Edward, handsome vampire that he is, decides that he and his family must leave Forks forever in order to save Bella.

Bella descends into a major slump with the departure of her dear Edward. She soon finds that being with a friend, Jacob Black from the Quileute reservation, gives her some moments of relief from her pain. Bella is heartbroken and finds that extreme motorcycle rides and cliff diving bring the consolation of Edward’s voice. Soon after, Jacob can’t see Bella because of another reason. She finds out that Jacob is a werewolf! The triangle becomes even more complicated!

Bella, an ordinary human, seems to fall for extraordinary creatures like Vampire Edward and Werewolf Jacob. Part of the suspense is waiting for whom Bella will choose. Bella has a lot of deciding to do.

I loved this book. I have grown with the series. Although I am done with all the books I'd have to say this one is the saddest. I cried so much when Edward left Bella.

This book is very good. I absoltly love the twilight series. This auther is one of my favorites. I enjoyed this book. The movie is hopefully going to be as good as the book.

New moon was a very interesting read. You actually know what Bella went through when Edward left. Criticts say that Stephenie Meyer is the best vampire novelist since Anne Rice. I've seen the movie but the book tell so much more. My favorite scene is when Bella learns how to ride a motorcycle by her long time best friend, Jacob Black. The siries is amazing! I highly recommened this book.

I read the book New Moon and couldn't stop. It was clear, consise and interesting. My favorite part was when Bella went to the volturi to save Edward. I loved the book so much that I'm almost down with Breaking Dawn.

New Moon was my favorite book of the Twilight series. I would definitely recommend this for any vampire or werewolf fans because there is info about both subjects. Also even if you haven't read this book you definitely should.

I've read all of the twilight books and besides breaking dawn new moon is one of my favorites because of the connection that Bella and jacob had that lasted though the rest of the series. Also Stephane Meyers explained the book in great detail
