Awful! I couldn't stand the main character's whinginess after getting dumped by her vampire boyfriend. Throughout the book, I kept thinking she needed to realize that there's much more to life than her boyfriend. (

Snippet:

I started reading the next installment of this series while at my parents’ place Christmas Eve. When I had gotten through the first few chapters, I had to go sound off at my younger sisters for not warning me … that the entire focus of the story changes!

Now, don’t get me wrong. I like other kinds of supernatural things, not just vampires. But, when I’m expecting a vampire story, why do I then have to read through almost 400 pages with very few mentions of vampires, not to mention having to learn a whole new set of supporting characters?

Definitely my least favourite book of the series. It could have been much better, had someone with better writing skill tackled it, even with the same basic narrative arc.

Despite Bella's flat and obsessive personality, this tale of tortured demon lovers entices.

added by timspalding | editKirkus Reviews, Francesca Belham (Jul 13, 2009)

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.

added by timspalding | editSchool Library Journal, Hillias J. Martin (Jul 13, 2009)

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.

Epigraph

"These violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which, as they kiss, consume."

Romeo and Juliet, Act II, Scene VI

Dedication

For my dad, Stephen Morgan - No one has ever been given more loving and unconditional support than I have been given by you. I love you, too.

First words

I felt like I was trapped in one of those terrifying nightmares, the one where you have to run, run till your lungs burst, but you can't make your body move fast enough.

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.
