Publisher Comments:

For Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. But being in love with a vampire is more dangerous than Bella ever could have imagined. Edward has already rescued Bella from the clutches of an evil vampire, but now, as their daring relationship threatens all that is near and dear to them, they realize their troubles may just be beginning.

Legions of readers entranced by the New York Times bestseller Twilight are hungry for more, and they won't be disappointed by this gripping sequel. In New Moon, Stephenie Meyer delivers another irresistible combination of romance and suspense with a supernatural twist. Passionate, riveting, and deeply moving, this vampire love saga is well on its way to literary immortality.

Review:

"Fans of Meyer's debut novel, Twilight, may be disappointed in this second book in a planned trilogy. It begins with a bang, on Bella's 18th birthday, when Edward Cullen sweeps her off to his unorthodox family home (in the first book readers learn that the Cullens are vampires who hunt animals rather than humans) for a birthday celebration. But when Bella unwraps a gift and gets a paper cut, her drops of blood set off a chaos that culminates in the Cullens leaving town. Edward exits on page 73, and does not reappear for nearly 400 pages, except for his voice in Bella's head when she embarks on dangerous adventures, such as motorcycle riding and cliff diving. Instead, this book focuses on Jake, her friend from La Push, who has some unusual traits of his own. A Quileute legend that he confides in Bella in the first book comes to the fore here (and ties in with the title), and Bella is tracked down by the 'bad' vampires from the first book, who seek revenge for Edward's murder of their friend James. Long stretches in the book may make readers feel as if they're treading water, but the pace quickens when Alice Cullen sees a vision of Bella cliff diving and mistakes it for suicide. Edward then heads to the all-powerful Volturi vampires in Italy, seeking his own death. Will Bella get to Italy in time to save Edward? Will she remain human? Meyer answers the first question but leaves the second for the third novel. Ages 12-up. (Sept.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Review:

Review:

"New Moon will more than feed the bloodthirsty hankerings of fans of the first volume and leave them breathless for the third." School Library Journal

New Moon is ESSENTIAL in understanding the rest of the Twighlight saga. It wasn't the most interesting of the four, and I really did get bored towards the middle. It was dissapointing that Edward left for a while and I was upset that Bella, who became a very bland character without Edward, hadn't transformed into a Vampire yet. Jacob Black's increasingly large part in the series became evident. It was intersting to read through Bella's lowest year as her ties to her normal highschool friends became looser and the secrets she kept from her family became deeper. Even though it was hard to get through because of the morose mood of the prose, I found myself reading it to the finish. New Moon was not Meyer's best book, but her beautiful style and captivating voice made it impossible to put down. I had to keep reading because Meyer had set down such an enchanting plot that I NEEDED to know what happened. New Moon is a must read, no matter how long it takes to read it, just so that you can find out the conclusion.

I've just finished the second book in the Twilight series, New Moon after my 13 year old (now 14) daughter zipped through the entire series in a matter of weeks. She loved all four books so much that I had to see what all the hub-bub was about. I didn't own New Moon when I finished Twilight and nearly went through withdrawal symptoms not being able to continue the saga immediately! Furthering my frustration, I was out-of-town and could hardly wait to return home to Powell's to buy a copy and start on it.
At first, I was disappointed that Edward's character 'disappeared' and wasn't sure I even wanted to continue reading New Moon, but Stephenie's writing is so intriguing I'm already on to #3, Eclipse.
Don't let the fact that these are written for youth hinder your interest in reading them. Of course, I've always had a 'thing' for vampires, so I think Ms. Meyer has it all figured out!
