New Moon by Stephanie Meyer

I wasn't overly impressed with the first Twilight book. I could take it or leave it. But now I am hooked. I read this book obsessively. When I wasn't reading, I was thinking about what might happen next in the story. A lot of people have said they didn't like this book in the series, but I loved it.

In New Moon we go deeper into this secret vampire world. Edward is not as prominent in this book, but that was ok with me. Bella is sad through most of this book, which I could relate to.

I don't want to give away any of the plot line, so I will just say trust me, there is a reason this series is so popular. It is super romantic with lots of drama. The chapters are long, but it is an easy read. Each chapter ends with a cliff hanger which makes you want to continue reading. I think this style helps you get through the 500+ pages really quickly.

I will say I think this is dangerous for young girls to read. I mean Bella's whole world is Edward. It is the kind of love everyone dreams of. But this stuff just does not exist in real life, so don't get your hopes up girls.

It is a great book though. I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars!

I also saw the Twilight movie this weekend. It was good. Edward was hot. Some scenes where very cheesy though. They did a good job with the normal scenes, but the love scenes with just Edward and Bella were cheesy and just laughable. They were some of my favorite scenes in the book and the movie just ruined them.

I'm going to see the movie again this week though, so it must not be that bad.

I'm also hoping to borrow the third and fourth books from someone soon so I can continue escaping to this super romantic vampire world!

I haven't been able to get my hands on a copy of New Moon yet, so I am still waiting to read it. (I've been trying to find it at Target or Wal Mart since books are so much cheaper there, but I haven't had any luck. I need to just get on with it and borrow it from my niece. *laugh*) Having felt similar to you about Twilight, hopefully I will be more impressed with New Moon as well! :-)

I am currently reading this book and i love it. I just got the book yesterday and i already read 180 pages and if was not for how late it was, i will be continue reading it. After i watched Twilight, i wanted to know more about this romantic history and that i why i decided this book.
I think it was good i first saw Twilight movie so i can have the faces of Bella and Edward in my mind while i am reading this book.
I love it!
