New Moon (Twilight #2)

Reader reviewed by Bug



My sixth grade teacher told me about these books and at first I thought that it sounded out of "my usual reading category". Now that I'm a seventh grader I could read them over and over again. My entire school is reading this series. You rock Stephenie Meyer. Keep the books coming.

NEW MOON is the much-anticipated sequel to last year's exceptional vampire romance, TWILIGHT. When I first got my hands on a thick copy of TWILIGHT, I ended up losing sleep for a week until I finished it. Night after night I could not put down the gripping tale of 17-year-old Isabella Swan and the family of vampires who virtually adopt her - some more willingly than others.

With the thrill of TWILIGHT fresh in my mind, I eagerly plunged into NEW MOON. The story takes up several months after TWILIGHT ended. Bella has enjoyed a magical summer with her vampire love, Edward Cullen, but as she closes in on her eighteenth birthday, her own mortality weighs heavily on her. Edward will be eternally young and beautiful, while Bella is doomed to age like a normal human.

In this amazing sequel to the beloved series by Stephanie Meyer, we are better introduced to the character, Jacob Black. In the previous book, Twilight, we all knew that Jacob had a little crush on Bella but, unfortunately for him, all her attention was devoted to Edward. In this book however, lucky for Jacob, he just happens to be there when Bella is in dire need of a friend and Edward is no where to be found.

A few days after the incident at Bellas birthday party, Edward decides he needs to have a talk with her. After Edward tells Bella that we have to leave, shes trilled, thinking that he means him and her. After the real meaning dawns on her, she is far from trilled. She starts crying and pleading for him to stay, but as he puts it, he has no choice. The months after Edward leaves are really a blur. Bella IS a walking ghost; she doesnt know how to lead a normal life without him. He WAS her life.

On a day out with Jessica, Bella realizes that if she puts herself in danger someway, or acts stupidly, Edward speaks to her. After that day, she goes about her way to do anything wild and dangerous, just to hear his voice again. She goes out and buys a pair of broken down motorcycles. She goes to Jacob, hoping that hell fix it up for her and later on, teach her how to actually ride it.

She and Jacob become pretty good friends now. She spends all her time over at his house and watches/talks to him while he works on the bikes. They get to know each over pretty well and become best friends, even though Jacob wants more. Everything seems to be going pretty well, till everyone starts talking about the mysterious bear in the woods. What could it possibly be? Now suddenly, Jacob doesnt want to hang out with her anymore and wont talk to her or anything. What could she have possibly done to deserve such treatment?

After one of her crazy stunts, Bella gets an unexpected visit from Alice Cullen. Before they have enough time to celebrate her visit, they get some really upsetting news. Edward was gone to see the Volterra, the head vampire tribe, and it seems like the only person who can save him is Bella. Will she and Alice get there before Edward does something to get himself killed?

In this book, Bella goes through more changes and challenges than bearable. Will she be able to pull through it all and come out to be the person she once was before it all happened?

I would recommend this book to all fans of the Twilight series, fantasy lovers, and every one 14+

New Moon is the thrilling sequel to Stephenie Meyers first novel Twilight. It continues the love story between Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, but with an unexpected twist of course.


Bella never saw it coming, but when it happened, she completely broke down. She was barely living and functioning. Then Jacob came along, and a friendship develops. Jacob was no longer the awkward boy he was, and he provides Bella with a crutch to lean on. Even with Jacob around, Bella still couldnt get over the disaster in her life, and it didnt help that Jacob wished Bella was more than a friend to him.


Things start to spin out of control all starting with a certain vampire sister believing an untrue vision of Alices. And before she knows it, Bella is racing off to Italy to save the person who caused her so much pain over the last several months.


Again, I would highly recommend this to any fans of vampire romances that havent already started this series. It is a fantastic story, and it never gets disappointing. This is another one of my favorites.

I'm the kind of person who doesn't cry durring movies or books, but when Edward left and I saw what was happening to Bella, I WAS crying! If you've read the first one you'll definately cry too! Amazing book as usual, Stephenie Meyer, you ROCK, best author ever!!! Please don't get mad at Edwaard he was just doing what he thought was right, when I read it I was calling him stupid, sorry Edward, but when he came home I was no longer mad, listen to me, I sound like I'm dating him, seriously, it feels like you're Bella, that's how good Stephenie Meyer writes!

Why stop at one Twilight book? New Moon is the sequal to Twilight. This one had a little less Edward. And the way he left made me cry- literally. But, Bella finds a new best friend Jacob Black, who has a few secrets of his own. Like, the fact that he's a werewolf, the vampire's worst enemie.
But, when Edward is in trouble she rushes to the rescue. Wouldn't you do the same for your true love?

Bella and Edward are back, but this time, everything isn't alright between the two. Edward, believing that Bella would be better off without him, leaves. Bella goes through months of depression until Jacob, a family friend, comes to her rescue. However, he too has a secret that is out of the ordinary -- he is a werewolf. At one point, Bella risks her life to save Edward from a terrible fate. Another awesome book by Stephenie Meyer.

First of all, THIS BOOK IS FREAKIN' AWESOME(parden my language). Bella turns 18, get's attacked by Jasper, which all leads to the big part, Eward leaves Bella. YEESH DUDE! I MEAN, COOOME ON! Anyway, back to the big part, Bella finds out that Jacob Black is a were-wolf while Edward is gone and finds out all of the traits you inherate when becoming a were-wolf, you gain super speed, super strength, and kind of an ability to read each other's thoughts. COOL HUH? Well anyway, Bella gets a motorcycle and has Jacob repair it and teach her how to ride it. Then later on in the book Bella tries to kill herself by cliff diving off the top o this huge cliff and Jacob ends up saving her. Edward thinks that she is dead and goes to the Volturi, the oldest vampires in the world, and tries to get himself killed, but Bella shows up with Alice at the last minute and stops Edward from getting himself killed. Bella ends up making a deal with Carlisle. The deal is that after she graduates, he will turn her into a vampire, and that basically ends the book. Can't wait to read Eclipse. Enjoy!
