1) Audio CD Book New Moon by Listening Library (Audio). I absolutely loved Twilight!!! New Moon was not my favorite because it was just too sad but, with that said I still couldn´t put it down. I am a stay at mom of two kids and there is nothing I appreciate more than sleep. I stayed up 3 nights in row just to finish the series. I can´t believe SM is not going ahead with Midnight Sun. I certainly hope she changes her mind because I am hooked.¤ 2) Audio CD Book New Moon by Listening Library (Audio). It´s three days past finishing the first book of this saga and I´m done with number two. It still feels like a train wreck.
My suspension of disbelief is entirely strained to the point of breaking because the fantasy portion of these books barely holds water (okay, the first book was better, but the werewolf stuff in this book was frankly not that interesting at all...not for the characters, not for the reader).
While the first of this series has all the tension of forbidden love and some creepy people chasing after Bella, this second book lacks much of the substance, if you can call it that.
Again, we´re trapped in Bella´s head, and now she´s unbelievably depressed. Oh but I believed it, because I, like many others, have been there done that in our youths. With that said, do I really want to go there in someone else´s head for two hundred pages? I kept reading, clinging to hope there was a story.
The relationship with Jacob is hardly a teaser as it´s clear where Bella´s mind and heart lie, she tells us ever moment. I mean heck, she´s threatening her own life just to induce auditory hallucinations of her true love....yeah, she´s desperate--for most of the book.
(Slight spoiler) What made me reel in disgust toward the end was a little speech by Edward chastising Bella for so easily believing him when he said he didn´t love her anymore.
Great, so this was really all Bella´s fault for not fighting?
Okay, I, and many ladies I know, have heard such lines in our lives from men and it makes us crazy angry to have the table flipped over without due cause. But Bella, is like "Oh, I was a fool wasn´t I?"
Seriously, whatever charm the characters possessed for me in the first book was obliterated.
However, I did like Alice even more as well as Jacob. His is the new turmoil to watch.
As I said in my review of Book 1, I´m going to read these all. I´m just too curious though I´m quickly hating the hours I spend on reading them.
¤ 3) Audio CD Book New Moon by Listening Library (Audio). I thoroughly enjoyed the first book of this series (Twilight) and New Moon is good also but the heroine(Bella) is beginning to get on my nerves. After many many months of declared love and peril; she still seems to be the character in the first book. She hasn´t grown,she still can´t believe, she still has no self esteem. She´s one note all the time. Tears, peril, tears, peril,self doubt, tears, more peril. I rushed to buy this book after I read the "Twilight" but I will walk to buy "Eclipse". I saw the movie trailer and I think Hollywood didn´t read the same book I did. The kid in the lead role doesn´t remotely resemble "a god come to earth" or "an angel from heaven" or "a face and body of Adonis". He looks like a bagger at a supermarket!!¤ 4) Audio CD Book New Moon by Listening Library (Audio). This book is amazing. Don´t hesitate to buy it. It´s a really really good sequel to the first novel in the series, twilight. Although many people probably will like this one the least of the 4 books in the series, because of the fact that Edward must leave Bella, it is necessary for this to happen in order for the author to have continued on with the story the way she does. Even if you are a Edward and Bella lover, you will love the beginning and the end to this book. It is outstanding to say the least. I´m reading it for the second time around and still love every single word! I did rush through it the first time because I couldn´t wait to see what happens in the end and move on to the next book, Eclipse, but now I´m actually taking my time and its great yet again. Don´t miss this series. It´s fantastic and for anyone who loves a little romance mixed in with some great action scenes. Wonderful and not just for teens, although teens will love it. I´m an adult and have been out of school for a while and still am thouroughly enjoying these books.¤ 5) Audio CD Book New Moon by Listening Library (Audio). One thing about these books is that they´re clearly targeting a certain age group/demographic. Admittedly they are designed to sort of re-invent the perception of the vampire but I didn´t think they did and I also didn´t find the vampire lore to be an especially interesting part of the story. But for the targeted group, the impact of the vampire part of the storyline is built successfully through the relationships of the characters, and on that level it works very well. I can´t really compare this to other vampire books b/c it does not seem as focused on the vampire mythology as others are, but it´s a nice character driven bit of fantasy lit. for tweeners.
[...]¤ 6) Audio CD Book New Moon by Listening Library (Audio). I FELT LIKE I WAS TRAPPED IN ONE OF THOSE TERRIFYING NIGHTMARES…
For Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. But being in love with a vampire is even more dangerous than Bella ever could have imagined. Edward has already rescued Bella from the clutches of one evil vampire, but now, as their daring relationship threatens all that is near and dear to them, they realize their troubles may be just beginning. . . .
Legions of readers entranced by the New York Times bestseller Twilight are hungry for the continuing story of star-crossed lovers Bella and Edward. In New Moon, Stephenie Meyer delivers another irresistible combination of romance and suspense with a supernatural spin. Passionate, riveting, and full of surprising twists and turns, this vampire love saga is well on its way to literary immortality.¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
