i just finished reading the twilight saga for the second time and i think new moon has got to be the best! the movie could have been better because i had big expectations! i still love it though! ( )

I could do without so much of the Jacob stuff...it gets to be enough information after a while, but still, leads into the story further and draws you in. It is why so many are so emotionally invested in this series. ( )

Not as good as the 1st book in the series. The whole werewolf thing was a little goofy and the way the auther continued to harp about the emotions got to be repetitive. ( )

Because the Twilight saga is at it's very best a love story, I found this book to be both heartbreaking and frustrating. With the leading man out of the picture I discovered just how weak the character of Bella truly is. Though understandable that a love triangle can make for interesting reading, the character of Jacob, no matter how pathetically he throws himself at Bella, could never contend with what had already been written as a one and only true love. I found his pushiness irritating at best and Bella's inability to draw clear lines for him even more so. The redeeming parts of this book for me were new insights into the vampirical governing society and the dynamics of Bella's relationship with her father. Overall, New Moon is a story about dwelling in heartbreak and depression and--I think the reason Jacob has become such a popular character-- the glimpses of light that can be found in very dark places.

Jacob is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo hot.
