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.

 Like reading two separate books September 6, 2008
I read Twilight and wasn't really impressed but I'm continuing on with the series. Reading New Moon was like reading one book for a while and then turning the page to find a different book in its place.
We start off with Edward leaving and then Bella getting closer to Jacob. Edward is cold with hard strength (always described "like ice" and "like marble"), Jacob is hot and strong (always described "like a rock"). Edward glorifies in his own perfection and is too serious with little substance, Jacob takes it easy, laughs often, and has useful skills and hobbies. I do not understand what Bella sees in Edward when Jacob is so much better. Who wants to cuddle up with cold marble when they can have warm and cuddly?
And I do not understand what they both see in Bella. She has little substance. And she says she's not worth of Edward so often that I believed it too. Why are they a couple?
The plot jump was ridiculous. They're in Forks, hunting Victoria (who's hunting Bella) and then suddenly they're escaping Volturi in Italy to save Edward. The two plot lines didn't go together well. I was also put off at the end when Bella says she wants to be a vampire and live with Edward forever but she doesn't want to get married to do it. How does that make sense?
This book, along with Twilight, feels like Meyers wants to tell a vampire romance story but can't settle on a good enough plot. There needs to be a smoother weaving of story lines. If you're going to read the series, get it from the library. And keep in mind there are better vampire series out there.
 Couldn't put it down! September 6, 2008
As a sequel I wasn't really sure how much I would like this book. But it went far and beyond any expectations I had for it. I ended up not being able to put it down. I felt for Bella through her ups and downs. I'm not a teen, but I love these books!
 Twilight.. LOVED IT! from my 12 year old daughter September 6, 2008
great book, I read it so fast and couldn't wait to get my hands on the 2nd book!
I love this series!! September 5, 2008
This series is amazing. I fell in love with Edward right along with Bella. It keeps you on your toes and wanting to read more!! You won't be able to put it down!
Caught off guard September 5, 2008
New Moon was a really good book. In the beginning you truly feel how Bella feels about Edward. Stephanie Meyer's writing in this book makes you feel Bella's sadness and frustration. Just like many of the reviews I have read and agree this book was almost all about Bella and Jacob. I want to read more about Bella & Edward. In the end, I will still read this book over and over.
