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.
New Moon book 2 of twilight seriesOctober 12, 2008 I liked all of the books in this series. Book 2 - New Moon is a darker story of depression and loss. It picks up when Jacob and Bella spend more time together but Bella remains loyal to her first love. It is darker in tone but some folks get this way when love does not work out exactly the way they want it to. Keeps the reader wanting to find out what happens next so one wants to read book 3 and 4.

This is a great book, not my favorite of the series but it is still definately worth reading
A Great Sequel to a Spectacular SeriesOctober 10, 2008 New Moon was a book that made me feel sorry for Bella, made me laugh under the covers in bed, and could make me smile for Jacob. Bella, in a tragic turn of events, is left empty-handed without the love of her life, Edward Cullen. She feels emotionally drained and becomes a zombie for a few months. When she snaps back to reality, she understands the impact it's created on her fellow students and family (namely, Charlie Swan, her father). Bella's emptiness soon has a big filling: Jacob. I especially like Jacob because of how nice and caring he is when Bella feels unkempt and in a "blah" mood, which is rare when Jacob is around. I think it explains the heartbreaking emotions of having one you adore leave you, and I don't want to sound hokey, but it's something that is vital to understand and get over. I loved New Moon.
Vampires AND Werewolves!October 9, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Okay, I'll admit I'm hooked on this series. No, I'm not a kid, I'm a 46 year old woman who usually prefers, shall we say, a more sophisticated type of book. I had to read this for our book club and I'm glad they twisted my arm! This is the second book in the series and Meyer has gone from the unbelievable vampire to the unbelievable werewolf and made it all believable to me. I connect with the characters and can't wait to read the third book!
New Moon, new characters, new storylineOctober 9, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I loved Twilight but found New Moon to be a bit frustrating. In Twilight, the reader meets Bella and Edward and witnesses the building of their relationship and the strength of their 'teen' love. It is this relationship that the reader expects to read about when they pick up New Moon. Unfortunately, Edward is only present for about 1/3-1/4 of the book. The rest of the time, we are left we a heart-broken, whinny, depressed Bella who is trying to deal with Edward's departure. A departure, in typical Edward fashion, he concluded was necessary for her safety.
New Moon is essential to the Twilight saga. It is critical to understanding two things: the werewolf story and the bond that is created between Bella and Jacob. It is in this novel that the reader sees the bond that develops initially out of friendship and Jacob filling the 'void' Bella feels when Edward is not near. Jacob is coarse, rude at times, overbearing and pushy. A complete opposite of Edward which, in this reader's opinion, is the reason the relationship (Bella/Jacob) builds and carries thru the rest of the saga. Jacob is there for Bella, as friend and necessary protector (she's a magnet for trouble), when Edward is not. It is in this novel where fans decide if they are a member of 'Team Edward' or 'Team Jacob.'
I have to admit, this novel took me twice as long to read compared to Twilight. I found the vampire element of the story easy to read and interesting...the werewolves, not so much in this installment (werewolves are better in Breaking Dawn). However, after reading the entire saga, the reader will understand why New Moon is an important element to understanding the dynamics of the vampire-werewolf story and the Edward-Bella-Jacob relationship.
