 STOP HER BEFORE SHE WRITES AGAIN!!!! November 19, 2006

A sequel? There really is a Satan.
Meyer has proven to be one of the most annoying and somnambulistic of writers. I had to laugh when I saw her brilliant new plot outline involves the ever nilhistic and dull Bella making time with wherewolves for another eternity of pages. I suppose in book three Bella will finally give up the big prize and "go all the way" with a zombie, which is pretty much all that will be left of Meyer's fan base.
Honestly the woman's purile writing induces narcolepsy! What really concerns me is the apparent inability of reader's to recognize the difference between a good book and a real stinker.
Meyer is still a big P.U. in literature.

New Moon (the sequel to Stephanie Meyer's Twilight) contains all this, and so much more. Bella Swan is living in the gloomy city of Forks, Washington. It rains there 24/7, which pretty much reflects Bella's mood for the majority of the book. I guess you could say that Bella's your average adolescent...minus the fact that she's in love with a vampire that is. Every second that Bella loves Edward Cullen puts her in extreme danger- but hey, no one said love wasn't dangerous, right? Ask Romeo or Juliet.
While Stephanie Meyer is no Shakespeare, her writing still keeps you absolutely glued to the book. Even though the book is almost 600 pages, it is quite possible to finish it in one or two settings...trust me. She writes so clearly and with so much description that I'll be looking for the move edition of New Moon in the next year or two.
All throughout the book, you are kept in total, edge of your seat suspense...Will the Volturi kill Bella? How about the Quileute werewolves (one of whom is her best friend) who have a hatred for the vampires that has lasted for centuries? Will they end her life? Last but not least, what about Bella's father, Charlie? In every teenage love story, there is always the raging father of the female, and New Moon is no exception.
Overall, I have to say that this is the second best book I've read this year, with Twilight being the only book that tops it. However, New Moon did have a ton of important characters to keep track of, and, in a few spots, it was a bit confusing. With the entire part dealing with the Volturi, I actually had to slow down and carefully read through it in order to understand it. I don't know about you, but that annoyed me a little, considering the fact that I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen next.
Those few things still wouldn't stop me from recommending this book though. First, make sure you have a completely free day, then open the book and enjoy. Once you start, I know you won't put it down until the very last page.

New Moon - Didn't think I would like it based on other reviews. November 15, 2006

The minute I found out from my daughter that the 2nd book of the series was out I wanted to have it in my hands. After reading reviews there was a little less of a drive to pick up the book.
I picked it up this weekend and devoured it within hours. I think that people who don't understand a certain type of love will have problems with the book. Based upon my experience you can "love" without being in love. Perhaps this will educate some of the younger readers to the different types and levels to love?
We where able to fall in love with some of the other characters from the first book as well. Alice took on a wonderful new role as well as Billy, Jacob, and Charlie.
If there is truely a life's lesson to be learned from the book, I would say it is that no matter how good you think you yourself KNOW what is right for another person.... you need to listen to them, and not just listen... but actually hear them as well.
I Liked the book a lot, there was a few things I might have personally changed but all in all I think this is a wonderful read and leaves one very eager to the third book in the series.

NEW MOON, Stephenie Meyer's follow-up to 2005's smash hit TWILIGHT, begins where the first novel left off: with Bella and Edward exploring their necessarily chaste relationship. It's Bella's birthday, and the Cullens have planned a lavish party for her, complete with pink roses and candles and crystal dinnerware and expensive presents. And everything is perfect...until clumsy Bella cuts her arm and the scent of her blood sends her vampire companions into a frenzy.
Her injury sets into motion a whirlwind of events Bella is powerless to stop. Edward, in a desperate attempt to keep Bella safe, decides that he and his family must leave Forks. Bella spends months in mourning for her lost love, spiraling downward into depression further and further each day. Things are getting worse instead of better, and Bella's content for them to stay that way -- until Jacob Black comes along. Sixteen years old, impossibly tall and lanky, with unruly dark hair and even darker eyes, Jacob is just what Bella needs to pull her out of her funk. In Jacob, she finds a real friend, one who just may, over time, begin to fill the hole Edward left in her heart and in her life. And then she realizes that she can hear Edward's warning voice in her head whenever she's in danger -- so she begins to court it. She buys a couple of old motorcycles and elicits Jacob's help in getting them to run again; soon, she's spending every day with him on the Quileute reservation where he lives with his father.
But Bella's blossoming relationship with Jacob is tested when he begins hanging out with a strange, brooding group of boys on the reservation. As she and Jacob grow further apart, a run-in with a vampire acquaintance reveals that Bella's being hunted by an enemy that it's impossible to avoid. And then rumors begin to circulate about a pack of large, wolf-like creatures roaming the forest -- which may be Bella's only hope of survival. Throw in a terrifying scene involving a high dive from a cliff, a reunion with an old friend, and a frantic race to Italy...and you've got the recipe for a worthy second installment of Bella and Edward's love story.
While I didn't think NEW MOON was quite on the level of TWILIGHT, I still thoroughly enjoyed this sequel. NEW MOON hooks you from the first chapter and doesn't let go until you turn the final page, with some fabulously exciting scenes cleverly placed throughout the novel to keep you on your toes. Like TWILIGHT before it, NEW MOON contains the perfect blend of action, adventure, suspense, danger, and romance. Meyer continues to develop her characters brilliantly in this outing; human and inhuman alike, she makes it easy for readers to relate to their plights. Bella, it seems to me, is Every Girl -- clumsy, insecure, eager, naive to her (inner and outer) beauty. One previous reviewer even wrote about her crush on Edward -- what a gift Stephenie Meyer has, to make readers so engaged with her characters. NEW MOON is, in this way and others, much more polished than TWILIGHT. I have to say, though, that I hope Meyer doesn't introduce us to yet a third kind of monster in the series' next installment; I think the introduction of more supernatural beings will, at some point, just make the series begin to lose its focus. I hope that doesn't happen, because I really think Meyer's got something here.
At some point, Stephenie Meyer's going to have to reveal to us whether Bella WILL or WILL NOT become a...well, you know. It'll be interesting to see how she handles it. Until then, I'll wait with Meyer's legions of other fans for ECLIPSE to come out next year!
