Book Reviews of New Moon (The Twilight Saga)Book Review: Don't care for Bella but I'm a proud Team Jacob member Summary: 5 Stars
Unlike "Twilight" movie and book, the book "New Moon" stuck close to the movie so if you saw one, you saw the other. There was a bit more feedback about the Viltari (Vampire royalty) though and considering I'm Team Jacob, I enjoyed all of the extra details about him. For me to read a 563-page book, I'd have to REALLY be into it and I never got bored. I read this book in two days and now I'm tapping my fingers anxiously waiting to read "Eclipse" to see if it's better than the movie, which I also enjoyed. I have to pull my ponytail holder off (I don't wear hats) to Stephenie Meyer for writing such a fascinating four-part book series. I have never been into werewolves or vampires, but I am eating this stuff up. I'm a late fan, but I'm 100 percent fan and talk anybody's ear off about how great her books are. My only problem with this book is I could sympathize with Bella in "Twilight."
But in "New Moon," Bella got on my nerves repeatedly. She's spoiled, whines too much, has the nerve to give people ultimatums and rebels against everything. Now the rebellious part I can get into, but she consistently disrespected her father to the point that I wondered why he didn't kick her out on her butt, especially after the Viltari issue. She kept screaming she was grown. If I was Charlie, I'd have told her to kick rocks and let her move out. It was disturbing how she seemed to respect Carlisle more than her own father, and Charlie hadn't really done anything to get that kind of treatment. It was like watching Becky from "Roseanne" just wild out all the time. I definitely couldn't get into her stringing Jacob along like a sick puppy, but in her defense, she was honest from the very beginning about just wanting to be friends. Team Jacob or not, I'm not a fan of settling either so I respected that.
Edward is fascinating to me. I didn't care for him in the film version of "New Moon," but I understood him more while reading the book. Yes, many of his lines were corny, but truthfully what woman doesn't want a man to be THAT into her? He's got it bad, worse than Usher! Anyway, I enjoyed the read, 563 pages in 2 days. I just couldn't keep my eyes off this book. I can't really focus on the next book I"m reading because I'm too busy wondering when "Eclipse" will get to me. The perk of being a late fan is I don't have to wait as long for movies and books. Since it's all new to me, I can read and watch it all at once. Sweet!
Summary of New Moon (The Twilight Saga)The #1 New York Times bestseller is available for the first time in a mass market paperback edition, featuring a striking movie tie-in cover.
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 captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.
