Product Description
Dazed and disorientated, I looked up from the bright red blood pulsing out of my arm - and into the fevered eyes of the six suddenly ravenous vampires. For Bella Swan, there is one thing more precious than life itself: Edward Cullen. It's just as well she feels that way, for loving him will be a deadly game... Edward has already rescued Bella from the clutches of an evil vampire. But now, as their taboo relationship threatens all that is near and dear to them, their true troubles are only just beginning... The second tale of blood, passion and love that defies all boundaries in Stephenie Meyer's hypnotic 'Twilight' saga.

 Review from the older audience January 29, 2009

I am in my late 30s and read Twilight because I had heard good things and the hype of the movie was good. I enjoyed it immensely and was drawn in by the love story and taken back to my high school days. I became a bit pathetic and moped around for a few days when I had finished the book...simply because I wanted to read more.
Wanting more and itching to read New Moon, I logged on to Amazon and read the reviews and became a little worried as so many people gave it mediocre to poor reviews. However, I decided just to buy it and read it and I am so glad I did.
I found that it is a much better written book than Twilight. It seemed like Stephenie Meyer actually THOUGHT about what she was writing this time, and didn't just throw stuff on the pages randomly.
The compaint other reviews had was the lack of Edward in the story. However, I did not find this a drawback in the least, it was necessary to keep the emotions running as strongly as they do in this book, and I found the storyline excellent. Please do not be put off by the negative reviews - this book is well worth the read.
Better second time round! August 13, 2009

As a married neary 30 year old mother of 3 I should and do have better things to do than get hooked to a series of books about a teenager in love with a vampire. Though hooked I most certainly am! I read New Moon very shorly after Twilight and was very disappointed. I think the lack of Edward was definitly the problem! I went on anyway to read the rest of the saga and loved the rest of the books. I reread the saga later and found all my issues with New Moon had completely gone. Bella's anguish at being left by Edward was extremely heart felt and I had to choke back the tears on severly occasions. Her relationship with Jake was very touching and much less confusing than in Eclipse. The big finaly was spectacularly brought to life and I can't wait to see if the film can do it justice. I think my high expectations after Twilight coloured my first impressions of New Moon but after a second read it's place as one of my favourtes has been cemented.

One day a normal woman had an extraordinary dream. She dreamt of a two young people lying in a meadow. The boy was very beautiful; as he looked at the girl he felt passion, love and the almost overwhelming desire to kill her. When the normal woman woke up she couldn't forget the tableau- and she didn't want to forget him.
So these brilliant mythological creatures and fragile, coy, trembly humans were driven out of Stephanie Meyer's dream and into four books.
My mother said "of course it's frightfully badly written" and then went on to say that she'd stayed up into the small hours reading it. Any criticism shrinks away from the vigour and truthfulness of this tale.
This is a real story, it's utterly compelling, like the ones grandfathers and grandmothers and travellers and bards would or should have told.
Although Bella narrates, Edward's is the heroic journey. It is her beautiful supernatural friends who are transformed...

This series is not just for teenagers. Was introduced to them on a recent family holiday - 3 generations - with me being the Granny. Was told I must read Twilight, so when it was my turn I did. Instantly hooked, and have since read all four books. Please Stephanie Meyer write a fifth. By the time we returned home, my granddaughter's precious books were in shreds what with the heat, damp hands and suntan lotion, so felt honour bound to replace them as she likes to keep her books for future rereading. Ordered The Host to see if it could compare, and yes it did. Very different but great reading. The recent film made of Twilight does not do the books justice at all. 8 to 80 - read the books, you will enjoy.
