Product Description
Legions of readers entranced by Twilight are hungry for more and they won't be disappointed. In New Moon, Stephenie Meyer delivers another irresistible combination of romance and suspense with a supernatural twist. The "star-crossed" lovers theme continues as Bella and Edward find themselves facing new obstacles, including a devastating separation, the mysterious appearance of dangerous wolves roaming the forest in Forks, a terrifying threat of revenge from a female vampire and a deliciously sinister encounter with Italy's reigning royal family of vampires, the Volturi. Passionate, riveting, and full of surprising twists and turns, this vampire love saga is well on its way to literary immortality.

 liked it a lot, didn't love it... July 18, 2008
I missed Edward. LOVED Twilight. LOVED Bella & Edward & with New Moon I found myself speeding through the book to find out when & how Edward returns.I liked this book but it was missing something...(vampires). I did read the ending twice because I loved the conversation between Bella & Edward.
 Awesome! July 17, 2008
I usually never read books, but my wife got me started on it and the next thing I knew I'd read the whole saga!
It is by far the best Vampire story ever. It's not freakish, scary, or horrific. Forget Dracula, Blade, or anything else you've ever learned or seen with Vampires. She puts a new spin on the whole thing and does a real good job (especially the part about being in the sunlight). I'd give more details, but that would mean providing spoiler's, and I'm not about to do that. :)
 Let Down July 17, 2008
After Twilight, I had hoped for a better sequel. I compared the first book to Buffy and Angel, but the second is a much better comparison to the Olivia Hussey version of Romeo and Juliet. (good job here Ms Meyer with recognizing that fact) Funny, now in my mid forties, I struggle with watching those old films and how weak and dependant the women are portrayed. (I'll take Clair Danes' Juliet anytime)
"New Moon" certainly satisfied my need to get through the series and figure out the ultimate answer-does Bella get turned. I myself however, am much more partial to Joss Whedon's "will Buffy and Angel ever do it again." Joss was extremely careful to ensure Buffy remained strong and in control and a model of the women we all want to be. Ms Meyer, instead chose to portray Bella like the sappy weepy side that we all have inside of us. Like all women, I can certainly relate to that hopeless and helpless feeling that follows a break up. But four months of near catatonia, be real. Was Ms Meyer just appealing to that "Jerry Springer" mentality where masses of Americans have to watch those worse off than ourselves?
I would be tempted to give this book 3 stars just because I did enjoy reading it and who wouldn't feel for the loyal Jacob. (canine is certainly an apt symbol). But my undeniable feminist side cannot believe that this is the type of literature our girls should be gaga over. I really can't find any redeeming qualities with this book, other than the fact that I found it addictive. Ms Meyers quick simple writing style makes it easy to stay engaged and complete the book on one cup of coffee.
New Moon, new loves, new complications, new adventures July 17, 2008
Stephanie Meyer has done it again producing a story built around characters complex enough to be truly human even though many are not. The plot trucks and motorcycles down a different road as an old love disappears through most of the book, yielding center stage to a newly developing relationship between Bella and Jacob Black. Though Edward's presence is missing in Bella's life, he is never that far away from her heart or the mind of the reader. Ms. Meyer has made sure of that. This is a great story to sink your teeth into,
Consumed July 17, 2008
Stephenie Meyer is amazing. It's been a while since I have been so entranced with a group of characters and their story. After reading the first book of the Twilight series, I have bordered on obsession. You could pick up this book and read it first; Mrs. Meyer gives just enough detail for you to follow, but of course I would strongly recommend reading them in order! The characters are relatable (if that's an actual word) and her style of writing draws you in quickly and keeps you wrapped up until the end. And then some! August 2nd seems too far away to wait for the 4th installment!!! New Moon is most fabulous. Its thickness may be daunting to some, but trust me when I say it is well worth it. Once you get hooked, it flies by.
