 New Moon Review November 16, 2008
The book ws in great shape. It was also a great read. Fast pased, very interesting and sweet.
 enjoyable yet painful November 16, 2008
First and formost, I am an avid reader of most things. I was introduced begrudgingly to this series through a friend and the upcoming movie. Upon beginning Twilight, I was sucked in rather hard. New Moon though, I found to be a different kind of book. Please understand, this review is personal, and I understand that many may not have recieved the pain I did upon reading it.
The book itself is well done; the dialogue is consistent, there are fewer errors in the book (minus the name change of a minor character), there's a bit more action and less personal reflection on the perfection of Edward. The role of Jacob is necessary, and well written. He fulfills all the parts required of him. However, the conclusion of the book is what causes me pain. For those who have felt the loss and betrayal of a lover-particularly one you see yourself with permanently, the damage Edward does to Bella is truly unforgivable. Her willingness to forgive and forget is unrealistic. Of course, as a fictional character, she is allowed to respond however she wants. And of course, as Meyer designed, she places everyone's need above her own. I must hand it to Meyer though, the description of Bella's pain is exceptionally accurate. The most upsetting part of the book is also the simplest: only one word was needed per page.
I am worried though, that the young female readers will recieve a heightened damsel complex, expecting their mate to respond to them without vocalization, and that this kind of betrayal (despite Edward's intentions) is acceptable. The type of pain Bella goes through for him is too realistic for me to accept the unrealistic conclusion. I look forward though, to continuing the saga to its conclusion.
Wonderful book. wonderful series. November 16, 2008
This book is a wonderful continuation of Stephanie Meyer's captivating Twilight books. I loved it.

I truthfully adored this book. BIG SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!! Although Bella was in fact way needy as in like "Im gonna do dangerous stuff 'Cliff diving' and 'motorcycle crashing' and other potentially lethal things so I can hear the voice of Edward". However when Bella started to spend more time with Jacob then it started to get better. It was also a little confusing when they got caught by the Volterra and taken to that layer place. But I really did enjoy it and if youve read the first book then you simply must read the second.
 I just never like the endings. November 15, 2008
This review contains spoilers!!!!
I absolutely love the series but when I finish reading...I always feel let down. I feel like I'm always waiting for this rush that just never seems to come. I know they leave me starving for the next book but I almost get uninterested at the end. Like with Twilight and the prom ending... and Bella refusing Edwards proposal in the New Moon ending. It just all really aggravates me. Bella is annoying to me lately. I hope that changes because other than these few little things I love the series and the way the author writes.
