( )Excelente, debo admitir que las alucinaciones de Bella me aturdian por ratos pero luego comprendi lo que puede hacer una mujer enamorada "arriesgar su propia vida solo por escuchar por momentos su suave y aterciopelada voz"... creo que este libro me ha dejado un tanto suceptible pues tuve muchas lagrimas a flor de piel :'(... espero pronto poder comenzar a leer eclipse. Not a great book, but not a bad book either. I am a much bigger fan of Jacob then Edward. Jacob is a much more fleshed out character in my opinion. Bella on other hand, I am not so sure about her. To weepy for my tastes, at least in this book. The writing isn't atrocious, but it isn't great either. Luckily, the story is damn fun. New Moon is the sequel to worldwide bestselling novel, Twilight, I don't know how it became bestselling but everyone seemed to love it...so I went in to see what all the hype was about. I saw the film adaptation of Twilight and loved it, so I went round the corner to my local library and picked up New Moon, I felt slightly embarrased about carrying a book with a pink flower on the front through town, so I took The Gunslinger with me too, so I could conceal the girly edition with the intimidating Dark Tower... I began to read, I was bored shitless by the second chapter which was entitled 'Party', if you ca't find a good chapter name then just don't use one. Looking at the title of the chapter, I had a slight tingle that there may be a party involved in the chapter. But enough of the picky criticism, what I wasn't expecting was Bella to recieve a papercut from wrapping paper and for Edward to push her into a table causing her serious injury...and the bad boyfriend award goes to... I was delighted to see that Edward had been removed from the novel (if that's what it is...a novel, pfft more like a err...well, I don't know what it is...it's like a err, book smeared with monkey faeces) due to being afraid of endangering her life. I've never much liked Vampires, yeah sure the kind of superpowers they possess; immortality, super-speed, super-strength, etc. seem really cool, but Vampires are nothing to Werewolves. The emergence of Jacob Black appearing to be a Werewolf certainly perked up the story, giving me hope that some real kick-ass action would eventually occur in the book. Evidently I was wrong, yes Black and his pack chased after Laurent and supposedly ripped him to shreds but we weren't actually informed of how his dark skin was removed from his body, how his cold blood dappled surrounding trees, how his head as finally prised from his neck... I was deeply impressed by the Twilight film adaptation, but was deeply impressed by how terrible Stephenie Meyer could write. This also applies to New Moon, I am eagerly awaiting the New Moon film adaptation, it looks awesome. I previously rated New Moon a 2 and 1/2 star but upon writing this review have realised how much better it was than its predecessor. Therefore I reward it three stars. I'm told by badass Twitards and not so major fans on Twilight, that its successor, Eclipse, is in actual fact much better than New Moon. I have the book and plan to read it shortly.
Despite Bella's flat and obsessive personality, this tale of tortured demon lovers entices. Less streamlined than Twilight yet just as exciting, New Moon will more than feed the bloodthirsty hankerings of fans of the first volume and leave them breathless for the third. This best-selling sequel to “Twilight” — which introduced Edward, the world’s most gentlemanly 17-year-old vampire, and Bella, an ordinary teenager in Forks, Wash. — appropriately begins with an epigraph from “Romeo and Juliet”; love and death are once again entwined in their curiously absorbing romance.
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0316160199, Hardcover)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.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:51 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
