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.

Depressing July 19, 2008
I could barely read this one. I loved Twilight and I was so happy that Bella got Edward and then he leaves. I'll be honest, I cried.

Stephanie Meyers Twilight Series July 19, 2008
The series of books that I have ordered are captivating and I get so involved with the story line that I become part of the story. I cannot wait to acquire the next book and begin another journey with this author and the characters in the books.

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.
