New Moon (The Twilight Saga, Book 2)

Stephenie Meyer's second in the series continues to develop the characters we love.

Another 5 stars for the series.

The story picks right up where Twilight left off (well a few months have past between stories) But a most perplexing injury makes Bella the popular girl at the party of fasting vampires. Oh no! Does a rift form between Bella and Edward?

....A great follow up in the series....

I am in love with this series & I haven't read anything better since Harry Potter! I found that these stories were so pure & innocent in the sense of romance as opposed to some trashy, shallow romance novel.
It took quite the imagination to create this world of vampires & mortals & I would give Meyer more than two thumbs up if I had more than two thumbs!

I am not exactly sure why Stephenie's books are so riveting - there is just something about the way she tells the story - simply amazing!
This book is pretty much a downer of a book, yet I continued to turn the pages at a rapid pace, waiting for what I could only hope would eventually happen, and I was not disappointed!
As I stated in my review of Twilight, I do not believe these books would be half as good, written by a man. Stephenie is somehow able to pour the intensity of her character's emotions directly into the written word, where you yourself end up directly feeling the agonizing pain or extreme joy, as if you yourself knew these characters personally.

If you have not yet decided to read this series, I highly recommend that you do so!!

In this book, I noticed that Bella's emotions became my emotions, obviously connecting with her from Twilight, and carried forward in this stellar sequel. Depressing, riveting, and exciting!

Just as good as Twilight.

As a 39 year old Mother of two young boys, this is NOT my typical type of book to read. I've never been one for horror, mystery or science fiction. I don't generally read books aimed at young adults (except Harry Potter). Too many adults I knew raved about these books and finally I couldn't ignore their recommendations. I bought the first and second book in the series, thinking that if I didn't like them I wouldn't have invested too much money or time. Well, I'm hooked and now I've purchased the other two as well. These books are pure entertainment and a great way to escape at the end of my busy days. To any adult that may be thinking that these books are not for them...give Twilight a try, you won't be disappointed!
