 So the Lion Fell in Love with the Lamb. . . Then the Lion LeftNov 02, 2009
I don't think it's a spoiler to say that this book is about what happens to Bella, the regular teenage girl protagonist of "Twilight," when Edward, the vampire she loves desperately, leaves her. She is devastated. She is depressed. She is inconsolable. I myself had a couple of very intense relationships a little like this when I was in my twenties, and I could definitely relate to Bella's predicament and how author Stephenie Mayer expresses it. In fact, it was so realistic that I was considering not reading any more when Bella finds a new source of comfort: her friendship with Jacob, the Native American boy she has known from childhood. Obviously, he's not the "perfect" Edward, but Bella begins to suspect that allowing herself some small measure of happiness away from Edward would not be "selling out."
Jacob, who is 2 years younger than Bella, has his own period of painful growth to endure. Both his physical and emotional progress is laid out for the reader (eventually), as he comes to terms with the kind of adult he is becoming and tries to make peace with it.
This book contains some of the history, mythology and philosophy that the first novel lacked, and it finishes with an even better and more suspenseful flourish. Some Romeo and Juliet comparison is included, which may be appropriate, if cliched, for the age of the characters. Fortunately, Bella is modern enough, and sophisticated enough, to handle the comparisons her mind insists on making without getting too sentimental about it.
 Great, great fictionNov 01, 2009
Stephenie Meyer has given her readers a great gift in these books. I am afraid this fact is being lost in the hype for the movies. The books evoke strong emotion and they are a great gift to anyone who enjoys this genre, well written, easy read, fun.
 Least FavoriteOct 31, 2009
Yes, Edward is noble, trying to do the right thing by leaving Bella to live a life as a human. But surely he should have realized that if he was so intent on not causing her pain that this act would cause her the most excruciating ever? She is in love with him and how can separation ever be a good thing?
The vocabulary was so redundant...safe harbor, my best friend, happy...that it was almost a screaming moment to read another word.
Too much angst to be good.
Edward's point of view would have been a more fascinating story.
It makes me ache.Oct 30, 2009
I love all of the Twilight Saga. New Moon made me ache. It made my heart hurt and I cried. I felt Bella's loss. Stephanie is a terrific writer.
