Product Description "Shoot," I muttered when the paper sliced my finger; I pulled it out to examine the damage. A single drop of blood oozed from the tiny cut. It all happened very quickly then. Edward threw himself at me, flinging me back across the table... I tumbled down to the floor by the piano, with my arms thrown out instinctively to catch my fall, into the jagged shards of glass. I felt the searing, stinging pain that ran from my wrist to the crease inside my elbow. Dazed and disoriented, I looked up from the bright red blood pulsing out of my arm-into the fevered eyes of the six suddenly ravenous vampires. 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.

stephenie meyer twilight series January 8, 2009 i read all 4 of the stephenie meyer's twilight in a little over a week, i couldn't put them down. they were outrageous, i didn't want the last book to end!! can't wait to see the movies
New Moon: ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! January 8, 2009 New Moon is an awesome book! It will make you laugh, cry, and you won't be able to put it down. With tons of romance and suspence, it is a perfect sequal to Twilight.
GREAT! January 7, 2009 I became a twilight series fan after seeing the movie. I have to say, I'm impressed at the development of this series. Little side conversations that seem like they were just added "fluff" become important as the series goes on! Bring your tissues for this one...
Great Book January 7, 2009 I loved this book, it begins where Twilight leaves off and sends you into a whole new area. I couldn't put it down!
Not my favorite in the series January 7, 2009 I have love/hate relationship with the Twilight series. On the one hand, Stephanie Meyer writes very compelling characters on the other, there are times when the writing is sloppy and even the characters struggle to keep a reader interested. I think New Moon is the example of this and certainly the weakest of the series.
Strengths are definitely Jacob, he's a strong character and lovable. All of the characters introduced in New Moon are as compelling and endearing as those introduced in Twilight.
The biggest weakness of the book would have to be Bella, she is unrecognizable for most of the book and I had to continually try to justify her mystifying transformation instead of buying into it. Another weakness I found really applies to the entire series, there are quite a few grammatical mistakes and areas that could have undergone some easy revising that should have been caught by her editors.
All in all, I enjoyed reading it, though I have a personal vendetta against her editors. I've already re-read it and will probably read it again.
