New Moon (Twilight #2)

Reader reviewed by beth

When I was first introduced to the Twilight series I didn't want to read them. How believable is a love story between a vampire and a "normal" teenager? Once I read a couple of chapters in Twilight I realized that Stephenie has a way of grabbing her readers and never letting them go. New Moon continues with that. I was also slightly disappointed by the dissapearance of Edward, but the words that were used to describe the emptiness Bella felt were absolutely incredible. Every time Bella described how she felt like she would fall to pieces I felt the same way. Every time she described the holes, I felt like I also had holes in my heart. Every emotion that Bella felt was creatively painted through the pages of New Moon. The love story still continues to amaze me and I can not wait to see where it goes in the next one!

Ok, this one, just like the first, grabs you and will NOT let you go until you're finished reading. heck, it doesn't let you go, even after reading it.

MANY SPOILERS!!!Bella and Edward are back in another adventure, well, Bella, at least. Bella is left brokenhearted when her true love leaves her alone in the gloomy town of forks. she becomes closer to Jacob, and it turns out that Jacob isn't exactly human, either... Bella finds that she can hear Edwards voice in her head clearly when she is taking a great risk. she jumps off the cliffs, into the ocean and news is sent to Edward that she is dead. he decides that he can't live knowing his true love is dead, so, he goes out of the country to get killed by the oldest clan of vampires....

this is an excellent book to follow the first. no complaints here. this is definitely second on my 'must read' list, right after the first, new york best seller novel, twilight.

Like I said, Oh my gosh stephenie you have so much power!!!!!!! You have so much influence on the reader's emotions as they're reading your book it's almost scary. I read your first book "Twilight" in a week, which normally with a book that size it's lucky if I finish it in a month! I couldn't put this book down. I had to keep reading it, I read it for 4 hours straight! I only got half of the book read in that length of time though. It took me a little bit longer than that to read "New Moon" though. I read it for 6 hours straight and missed dinner because of it. ( there was so much emotion running through me I didn't want my family thinking something was wrong with me or something, I just have a hard time keeping my emotions in!) I think that you should write longer books, we never want them to end. I read both these books in 1 month. Currently I read Twilight 2 times and am working on the 3rd and I have read New moon 1 1/2 times and am working on re-finishing that one. I'm rally picky about the books that I read and this one never doubted me. I love the covers on both books! I feel that if I were to read another book I would be utterly bored because this is the most perfectly paced most adreneline pumping series ever. I don't think that I am ever going to be interested in another series again so I hope you have a very long life and will continue writting the most awesome series with the most awesome consept ever!! Ever since I started reading these books I've been waiting for my adventer to begin and I sincerley hope that there are real vampires out there and one as perfect as Edward that will end up falling in love with me. Thank you so much Stephenie for harnessing your talent in a way that so many others before you have failed to accomplish. You are now my Idol and an Idol to the rest of the world. Thank You!
P.S. I was wondering what the covers of the books really ment. I think that the cover of Twilight with the apple has something to do with Adam and Eve and the creation of bad and good. Mainly because the story is about vampires in their struggle to be good even with bad thrust upon them. I think that New Moon's cover with the flower stands for just that a flower. I think it symbolizes how people pick the petals off and say "He loves me, He loves me not." Which basically reflects upon the books contense and the struggle for bella to beleive that Edward really does love her even after being told by Edward that he doesn't love her. I would be so awesome if you could somehow e-mail me or write back to this website so that I could find out if that's what the covers really do symbolize. It's been racking my brain since I first laid eyes on them. and I could hopefully pick your brain for other stuff too! I guess that you can call me a regular Bella myself always wanting to ask questions but never really getting the chance to. Thank You so much for just being Stephenie Meyer!

This was the sequel to Twilight. Bella and Edward are happily in love until one day Edward just breaks up with her and moves away with his family, the Cullens. This leaves Bella alone, confused and depressed. Bella then tries to rebel leading to Edward and the other Cullens believing she was dead. Alice comes back to Forks only to discover Bella alive and well, but Edward does not know this. Edward then tries to endanger himself leaving Bella the only one who can save him.

I found this book just as amazing as Twilight. It was one of the very few books that brought me to tears. This book is a must read if you enjoy a good adventure and action book with a twist of romance.

Girl likes boy, boy likes girl.

Sure everything sounds normal.

Boy is a vampire and girl wants to become one to be with him forever.

Not so normal anymore, right.

The magic of Bella and Edward continues in the sequel to the New York Times bestseller Twilight by Stephenie Meyer in New Moon. One tiny paper cut, one drop of blood, and life as she used to know it is gone. Everything she feared might happen is happening and all at once. No time to adjust just to deal.Bellas eighteen birthday has come and gone leaving behind a gaping whole that won't let her breath, yet alone sleep. Bellas life is Edward Cullen but when Edward suddenly leaves, all that's left is a memory that Bella goes to extremes to retain. The five stages of grieving come into action in New Moon; denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Although Bella doesn't deal with all of the stages, some play a major role. Theirs so many surprises in this book that I would hate to ruin any by giving away important details. But I can spare a few details. Bellas heart literally broke when Edward left her, pain was her friend for months, school was her friend for months, work was her friend for months, nightmares where her friends for months, everything was her friend but her friends. Until one day she... yeah I think I've given too much away already, you'll just have to read the book. This book is a must read for anybody who loves reading and for those who don't. Stephenie Meyer has written a story of a girl in love and a boy who wishes nothing more then to keep her save. Bellas emotions will be your emotions for 563 pages, sounds a little long but when your finished you'll wish for more. Not to worry the third book Eclipse will be out in late August.

In both of Stephenie's books i was captivated. But especially in New Moon. It wasn't as action packed as Twilight but this sure showed the emotional side. I was mezmerized by this book. It had me literally looking crazy trying to figure out whats next.

This lady is a genius. She found a way to include Bella's breakdown and include Jacob in it. The twist about jacob was absoluetly captivating. Then with the vampires coming back and the problems it would cause with the pack of werewolves was killer. I think she should include the tooth fairy in the next one. I would love to see what mystical creatures she could include.

If you haven't read this book already you are missing out on alot. This book and it's cliffhangers is going to burry. I'm still waiting to be bitten. I can't wait for the next one.

I was so excited when i bought the the book i flaunted it infront of my friends. And they were not very happy. So i read the book, and enjoyed it so much i didn't want to lend it to my friends due to the fact i wanted to read it again. But instead i thought of reading Twilight.


Now as for the book review. I was very surprised as to how good this book was, you know how sometimes sequals are never as good as the first, well this one rocked as much as the first one. I was very upset when Edward wasn't in it as much, but as soon as he came back, i was in love with the book.

Edward must leave Forks with his family, because they've stayed there too long, and other families might get a little curious as to why they haven't aged a minute. It breaks Bella's heart. She doesn't do much for about four months.


Four months later, she goes and sees Jacob. Jacob is the boy who's father sold the truck to Charlie, for Bella to drive in. Bella goes and see him with these two motorcycles, she wants one of them while he fixes up the other one, and keep it as his own. They keep hanging out together. Finally they're fixed and she wants to learn how to ride it.


Jacob takes her out to a forest and shows her how to ride. While shes doing this, Edwards voice is in her head talking to her. After doing riskier and riskier things, his voice becomes more distinct. But Jacob starts leaving her clowly, so she can't do any thing that puts her life in danger.


Bella becomes so frusterated with Jacob, she goes to his house and finds out he's a...

Well then, your just going to have to read to find out =]
