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.

 Read the complete saga (4books) within a week!! December 2, 2008
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 December 1, 2008
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 December 1, 2008
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 December 1, 2008
shipped in very timely manner, condition of book excellent absolutely purchase from seller again and again A+++++++++++++++
Much better... December 1, 2008
Though Twilight peaked my interest, I found New Moon to be far superior in both writing and story. There is a gloomy and depressing mood that I enjoyed throughout this book. It was darker and more angst-ridden than the first novel and that is where it succeeds. Twilight was all fresh and new and happy-go-lucky. But not much happens. Its true.
New Moon starts off on a pleasant note, but VERY quickly escalates into full-on gloom. Bella is not so boring in this. I could actually feel her pain and it felt very realistic. I was not a big fan of her character in Twilight, but she was much more enjoyable in this.
Jacob gets a MUCH bigger and far more interesting role in New Moon. Pretty much everything is explained regarding him and the veiled mysteries regarding him and his dad from Twilight. Though I am on Team Edward 100%, I did not mind Jacob as much in this book.
Speaking of sparkling Edward, sadly he is missing for far too long in this novel. I'd say-for more than half the book. However, when he is on page, he is by far my favorite character. There is not much to improve on. He is a perfect vampire-what else can you say that hasn't been said already?
I would not call this a masterpiece by any means, but it is a very good read and far better than even Twilight.
