New Moon Twilight Stephenie Meyer Books

I know it's ridiculous for an adult woman to like this book, but I do. There's just something special about the story that I enjoy. I initally was skeptical about reading the series because I'm a big fan of the Southern Vampire mysteries and I had heard the Twilight series was lousy in comparison. Besides the fact that both books are about vampires, there really isn't any comparison because they're just not the same type of book. This is definitely a YA book with much more tame subject matter, no sex, and only moderate violence. If you're curious I'd say give the series a chance, it might surprise you.

New Moon Twilight Stephenie Meyer Books Reviews

New Moon picks up while Bella is well on her way to recovery from the events that ended Twilight, but after an accident that reminds everyone that, yes, Bella is human and, yes, Edward and his family are indeed vampires, Edward becomes more and more distracted by his concerns for her continued safety. When he decides that the only way to protect Bella is to remove himself from her life entirely, Bella suffers from a major breakdown.

The budding friendship between Bella and Jacob draws her out of a deep depression. Despite her lack of romantic interest in him, she leads him on, afraid of falling back into her slump. She tries to be honest and tell him that she's stuck on Edward, but can't help but tell him that she also wants him to keep trying. It's kind of a flaky, selfish thing to do, not exactly endearing. The whole thing left me feeling sorry for poor Jacob.

But despite all that, I felt myself mourning with her. It's easy to say that she shouldn't have fallen apart so much over a guy, but then again, she didn't just lose him, she lost a family and a new sister, Alice. To have so much, love, family, acceptance and perhaps even the promise of immortality, and then to lose all of it all at once, how could she not have fallen apart? Do I agree with how she deals with it? No. Do I empathize? Yes.

As for Jacob, we get to know him in this story, and he has to be one of the most interesting characters so far. With Edward out of the picture, it's difficult not to root for him. He's the ultimate good guy kind, funny and supportive. He knows Bella is broken, but wants nothing more than to make her happy and perhaps find a place in her heart. And then there's the whole werewolf thing. Kind of hard to court a girl, especially one like Bella, when you keep turning into a wolf everytime you're angry or jealous. I think it's ironic that he, like Edward before him, believes the only safe option for Bella is to stay away. She just can't seem to catch a break.

Besides all the drama, there is a good deal of humor sprinkled through the story, and horror as well. The Volturi are creepy, the encounter with them terrifying. The whole scene kept me up way late. I probably shouldn't have tried to read that chapter right before bed, not good for your peace of mind.

Overall, I loved this book, love triangle and all. Jacob is really the star of this one, and I can totally get why some people would tend to take his side. Then again, it's hard to argue against Edward, flaws and all. He is obviously Bella's soul mate, whatever that's worth. No matter how good Jacob would be for Bella, her heart belongs to Edward, and honestly I don't think Bella's right for Jacob.

I'd recommend this book to those who like YA romance, particularly with love triangles, werewolves, and vampires. It compares pretty closely with the movie of the same name, which I must admit I watched first. I thought it was fantastic that the movie was able to so vividly bring the book to life, and so accurately, which I didn't realize until I finished reading New Moon.
First and foremost, this story is a young adult paranormal romance aimed mostly at 15 to 16 year old girls. The language is clean, the romance only goes as far as admiring someone’s flawless face/features, blushing, heart pounding kissing, and of course the introduction of a “love interest” to make it a love triangle. You will not get a lot of action or danger. For the most part the dangers the protagonist face is self-induced due to adrenaline seeking to unlock illusions of true love interest.
Some honey before the vinegar.
The introduction of the Wolfpack and the Native Americans who can shift into wolves was interesting. It is not the classic werewolf, which is later on also shown to have existed in this world but never on page. Yes it can be considered cheap to throw in Native Americans as a mystical magical but Noble Savages. It is a bit of a trope but it does feel legitimate in the story. A close-knit community with an oral tradition of magical history that comes to life protecting people from very serious threat.
There is a background story with Bella's father and his friends that give an underlying pulse to the story that makes it feel a little deeper than it actually is. Meaning there is life beyond the main characters. One thing I wish we see more of in the series is day-to-day life beyond the obsession of love. Bella is still a blank slate pretty much, and while this allows readers to step into her shoes it does make her character feel flat and shallow at times. Unfortunately, this background story missed the mark as it was used mainly to create the final touch of a misunderstanding leading to the climax of the story and we do not get to see how it affects the side characters till later on in the series to a small degree.

I do like the introduction of the Voltari because it shows just how dangerous the vampires really are. The character of Aro is all the more monstrous because it's nice and welcoming as he seems he is unabashedly what he is. I think these vampires if written in a different genre could have been quite terrifying but still serves their purpose. I would have loved to see more action in the series as a whole but I a more of an urban and epic fantasy reader with a little sci-fi thrown in.

If I'm honest this is probably my least favorite of all the books. Mainly this is due to the fact that the story feels forced in the direction that it takes for the exclusive purpose of introducing what is clearly a false love interest in a love triangle as well as introducing the Wolfpack. Save for a first-time reader into the genre and of the series, it is clear that the author is at least in this part showing her hand that the character of Jacob, while an awesome person and friend, will be nothing but Mr. Friendzone. it is really hard to pull off a good love triangle with mature characters.
The obsession that Bella has for Edward and visa versa still feels undeserved. You do not get much about their personalities outside of being possessive protective and fawning over each other's flawless beauty. We never really get into attributes beyond the physical and the fact that the good vampires do not eat people and Edward, though tempted beyond reason, has not kill Bella yet. In the 3rd and 4th books the characters do feel more real and do have some depth to them but that could easly be my imagination filling in the blanks. I know that they're kept mainly blank particularly Bella so that an reader can slip into the character and be pulled along the story. Here in the second book though this obsession is only shown to be one-sided as the character is shown to be pretty much depressed mentally unstable and uses friendship to get her fix through illusions that are brought upon by doing stupid and dangerous stuff.

I think love triangles work for some readers because people can relate the feeling torn and having mixed feelings for different people. Perhaps if Bella was shown as a more sympathetic and deeper character with interest that went beyond her obsession with Edward and his perfection introducing Jacob Black might have worked. I think that it is more the commercialization of the series (Burger king Team Edward or Team Jacob cups lol) that made the love triangle seem to be a bigger part of the story than they actually was. For any of those who read series when it came out the direction was fairly clear by the next book despite what the hype said. the only question was and is what emotional wreckage will be left behind.
I know it's ridiculous for an adult woman to like this book, but I do. There's just something special about the story that I enjoy. I initally was skeptical about reading the series because I'm a big fan of the Southern Vampire mysteries and I had heard the Twilight series was lousy in comparison. Besides the fact that both books are about vampires, there really isn't any comparison because they're just not the same type of book. This is definitely a YA book with much more tame subject matter, no sex, and only moderate violence. If you're curious I'd say give the series a chance, it might surprise you.
