Summary: What Kind of Message is She Trying to Send
Comment: What kind of message is Stephanie Meyer trying to send? That if you don't have a boy in your life
you'll fall apart? Because some girls reading this, such as myself, are not going to believe
that.
The story starts off with Bella's party. Due to an accident, Edward and his family
leave. For the next 4-6 months Bella is moping about, doing nothing. This is not exciting, it is not
what I liked about Twilight. This is possibly the most boring part of any book I've ever read. I
don't care about how sad Bella is! Or, I do but I don't need to be told that same thing over and
over for over 100 pages. Was there nothing better for Meyer write?
And then, when Edward
thinks Bella is dead, he tries to commit suicide. I am a twelve year old girl using my mom's acount
and thought that was not a thought Meyer needed to convey to people my age.
My little sister
is reading New Moon right now, and she says it is the most boring book ever. She's half way done!
Meyer should put something interesting in the middle.
The only reason I'm not rating this one
star is because I like the werewolf twist. That's all that I found good about this book.

Summary: Not as good as Twilight
Comment: This sequel to Stephenie Meyer's bestselling teen vampire romance Twilight is less gripping than its
predecessor. For most of the book's 600-odd pages Bella's relationship with Edward--the focus of the
first book--takes a back seat to other plot developments. Bella's friendship with Jacob deepens--he
becomes, arguably, the guy she should have fallen for--and we learn that vampires aren't the only
creatures that stalk the woods around Forks, Washington.

In Meyer's first book Bella,
despite her all-consuming passion for Edward, is a likable, strong character. This time out, for
reasons I won't divulge, she spends most of the book moping and feeling sorry for herself. While she
does have some cause to be upset, the extent of her misery is a bit much. There comes a time when
we'd like to slap her and tell her to get over it. Too much of Bella's mental health is dependent on
her connection with Edward. The relationship, we begin (or perhaps continue) to think--as Edward
himself has been thinking--is not a healthy one. Still, one can't doubt the intensity of Edward's
affection for Bella:
"Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but
there were stars--points of light and reason.... And then you shot across my sky like a meteor.
Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when
the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were
blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for
anything."

Enough already, Ed! This treacly monologue might quicken the hearts of
Meyer's tween readers, but I'm afraid it verges on the sick-making for me.

There is
very little action in New Moon, and the book is consequently not as quick and compelling a read as
Twilight. That said, even when Meyer is describing ordinary events, there's something about her
prose style that makes it easy to keep reading--a simplicity of sentence structure, maybe. Her
writing is the literary equivalent of drinking iced tea: it goes down so easy you hardly notice
you're drinking it.

Summary: Awesome book!
Comment: This is a great story as a follow-up to Twilight. Readers will become more aware of Bella's persona
through the eyes of other characters in the story. Great love story through and through. New Moon is
a must read that will have you aching from start to finish.
