Great

This is a great book. Could not put it down until I finished. I had to buy all four books and I've read them all

New Moon

I really liked this book. It was suspenseful enough to keep you wondering what was going to happen next. I could barely put it down! Wonderfully written!!

Liked it, but it yawned in some places

I love the advancment of Jacob's character in this book, as well as his relationship with Bella. That adds a lovely complication to the mix that I found intriguing. And I still love the characters.

But I just don't like the way this book was put together. As a novice writer, this just screamed at me that it was characters doing what the writer told them to do. It was part of the plot and it showed. Bella was a bit too much herself, Edward and his beautiful family just disappeared for three quarters of the book, and then, in the end, there IS no reunion, after they've spent the entire book practicing dying for each other. They're just...back together again. I also agree that in Twlight I didn't quite like with the way they were curious about each other then suddenly they can't live without each other. It's the same here. It's a big jump and I just don't quite buy it. I could believe Bella and Jacob falling in love more than I can her with Edward at this point, which ends up being disappointing, because Edward is a great Hero. Just not in this book.

And the ending left me cold. There was nothing, really, that lead me into the next book, nothing that made me have to go out and get Eclipse, no reason to read Eclipse for that matter. This book really appears to me to a couple of plot turns that leads from book 1 into book 3, but it's not very well done. I honestly think this book would have been better if we'd have had the hero's point of view. She could have added WAY more angst and suspense that way.

So all in all--I still love the books, still adore the characters, Meyer still has a way of making her characters come to life (even if they ARE annoying me)... but this one didn't drive me to read it. Having read Twilight is what drove me to read this rather than actual interest in the book itself. So, am a little disappointed and hoping Eclipse is better.
