Hope Eclipse is better...
December 2, 2008
I'm a sucker for the first book. I read it in a day. The love story is so deliciously impossible. I'm starting to think I was reading the book for Edward, because when I got into New Moon, I got bored.
Edward disappeared. Until the very end. I got through the novel so fast because I skipped ahead, hoping he would come back. He graced the pages again and the book ended.
I hope he stays put in Eclipse. And Bella puts a sock in that hole in her chest.
Anne Rice made better vampires. I wish she would still write about them.
Read the complete saga (4books) within a week!!

Moonlight was a great book, again, I couldn't put the book down. I've seen the other reviews and they only talk about what happened in the book, I don't want to kill other peoples' excitement about reading it. As the title says, read the 4 books in a week...worthwhile...LOVE IT!!
I'm not a teenager, I'm a mom of two and in my mid 30s, very easy reading, I got hooked on the story and the characters...
Vampire fans, you'll like these books if you enjoy seeing a new age vampire...:)
Great but it lagged for me in the middle

Events occur that bring Bella closer to her friend Jacob (the indian kid in the first book who first gave Bella the idea that Edward was a vampire). And they become best friends.
Jacob carries Bella through many dark hours. The only ray of sunshine in her otherwise bleak life.
This book MOSTLY develops the relationship of Bella and Jacob, and to absolutely no surprise IMO reveals that the myths about 'the cold ones' that Jacob told before weren't the ONLY myths that were true.
This book could still be quantified as a love story, but doesn't carry the same fresh upbeat feeling of the first novel. I was a bit impatient waiting to get to the part I knew would be coming (I knew it had to), so i read this book rather quickly, and was only satisfied again near the very end.
Here's a teaser
"Yes, fear would have made more sense, but all I felt was an overwhelming satisfaction. THe meadow was a magic place again. A darker magic than I'd expected, to be sure, but magic all the same. Here was the connection I'd sought. THe proof, however remote, that somewhere in the same world where I lived - HE did exist"
Annoying teen angst

Twilight, the first in the series, was well worth my time. The second installment, New Moon, gets grating and annoying. Bella's ineptness wears thin, and I begin to wonder what, exactly, is it in Edward that makes all the grieving worth it especially when there is a real character in Jacob in her life. But then again, I've not been a teenager in a while.
Awesome
