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.

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.

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...
Fantastic book, can;t wait for the next!! January 24, 2008

I read Twilight and this book in a matter of three days because I found myself being drawn into the world of Bella, feeling the emotions she goes through and the desires she has for her lover Edward and her best friend Jacob. Although i love this book i can't help feeling that Stephenie Meyer allowed the reader to be caught up in the emotions and love that Jacob feels towards Bella and probably ruined the bonds that the reader developes for Edward. His absense during the book left an empty space in Bellas life and it also leaves an empty space in the book. Probably too much of an empty space. The passion becomes lost and although Bella comes round to thinking that maybe she should accept Jacobs feelings towards her and forget about Edward, it just doesn't pack the same punch as Twilight. Then all of a sudden Edward is thrust straight back into the lime light!! I can't help but feel sad for poor Jacob, he loves Bella and she dumps him when Edward returns. I found myself crying along with Bella. When she describes the feeling of her chest being ripped apart with the loss of Edward, as a woman i could relate to her feeling of utter loss. Stephenie Meyer really knows how to pack the emotional punches into a story aswell as the action sequences. I love this book as a whole and can't wait for the next one to be delivered. I'm ordering it straight away from Amazon!!
