New Swoon:
Well, love it or hate it I have to say that New Moon is an improvement on Twilight. (before I continue its probably best to say that I am not the target audience for this saga - adult male fan of earlier vampire stories) In case you've been living under a rock, or perhaps are only generally familar with the plot of the Twilight saga, New Moon begins with the sundering of Edward and Bella, and follows Bella as she 'deals' with the break-up. The intial section of the book isn't too bad. We see... more info
Sad attempt at writing...:
I will say that a huge section of the middle was just dragging out the much awaited reunion, that was a "tiny" bit frustrating. I did enjoy the emergence of Jake. He is a very likable character. However, the he got very boring when so much time was spent on pointless information about him. You only mention things in a book when they are of importance later on! When the reunion happened the book immediately improved. Yet, it was a bit too late. Overall, too much fluff for no real big punch line.
its mostly about bella complaining:
it is a good book, but i think Bella complained half of the time.
Great:
I love this book. If i compare it to the other books i have to say this is the least favorite. Its not bad is just that i like the others better. I like the story better in the others. I don't like how Edward leaves her and then there it goes. Jacob Black being the hero i don't like it but its still good. If you like Twilight or any book you must get this.
