REVIEW: ‘New Moon’ by Stephenie Meyer

I dis­agree!!! Although New Moon dis­s­a­pointed me in some ways, because Edward was not there as much, I DO NOT think it was a mis­take!!! I thik it fits in well with the story. The story is about True Love, right? Well that’s why I think it fits! In true love, you know who you want to spend the rest of your life with, who you will love-forever. And Bella knows that she loves Edward and wants to spend eter­nity with him, despite what he did. It’s True Love! She found that she loved Jake too, but she was des­tined to be with Edward. And she didnt mean to look to Jacob for sym­pa­thy, she was look­ing for a friend. I didn’t find her irri­tat­ing at all.
The only rea­son that she seemed weak is that Edward was gone! It felt like a part of her was miss­ing! I don’t know about you, but that would make me feel pretty weak. Not to be rude, I’m just stat­ing my opinion.

I would give it a b+.

awh man new moon ws just unreal!!:O
edward really didnt want to leave her.…it was tough on him too like but if it wernt for jacob i prob would have killed myself!!lol but ya stephanie is a sav­age writer!!!big time i really cant wait till mid­night sun comes out i want to see how every­thing is in edwards view im like con­tain­ing myself from read­ing it online.….
her uniquness will van­ish but her blood wont sing…
kk im out

I know what your talk­ing about. I also have con­sid­ered your posi­tion. But I don’t really con­sider Bella’s rela­tion­ship with Edward as defin­ing her­self. If you lost some­thing that you loved the most, how would you feel? Would you feel inse­cure or just feel unhappy? Con­sider Bella’s sit­u­a­tion. Bella lost the love of her life. The only man she ever loved. I would be depressed. I’ve never had a boyfriend, so I am just imag­in­ing myself in Bella’s shoes. But I’m also very inde­pen­dent, and I’ve never “needed” a boy to feel com­plete, and I would never think that you “need” a boy to make your life com­plete. But don’t get me wrong, I would LOVE to have a boy in my life that could be my Edward. But I’m only 15, a soph­more in high school, and I think I have some time! But that is what I think about the sit­u­a­tion in New Moon. Do you agree or dis­agree? What do you think? I am for opin­ion– agree or dis­agree and I am very happy with any response!

okay this is my under­stand­ing of what the book might be so far i m guess­ing that after the thought that any of the cul­lens might hurt bella they decided to be far away from her for her own good and because they cared about her dur­ing this time that the cul­lens are away from bella she feels heart­bro­ken and relys on jacob for sup­port not know­ing that he was slowly falling in love with her she feels bad for hurt­ing jacob and tries to make him under­stand dhat she cant see him as any­thing else but a best friend in the end edward thinks that bella got killed and he left to kill him­self but the cul­lens go save him .… i havent read the book but this is the onlii out­come i could get of your com­ments. im anx­ious to know more about this book though i have been unable to buy it i feel a bit dis­s­a­pointed know­ing that the major­ity describe this book as a dis­s­a­point­ment to what they were expect­ing im hop­ing not to feel the same way i do wish that you might help me or encour­age meh to read it by giv­ing me more details of what may hap­pen in the story plz give meh any impor­tant detail that i missed and cor­rect meh if i wrote some­thing that isnt true …
i apol­o­gize for writ­ing so much but i cant help it my eager­ness gets a hold of meh

New Moon is a great book but it is not as good as Twi­light because Edwards not there. But I still havent read the other books.

Twi­light was such a good book I read it three times in one week­end. Can’t wait to read new moon

I actu­ally really like this book. it has a lot of action in it. if Bella is turned into a vam­pire that will be the end of series duh!

Hon­estly, I think you didn’t really like the book because you are not a teenager. I am not say­ing try­ing to offend any­one who didn’t like the book in any way, but I loved the book and Bella is sup­posed to appear weak. Edward fell in love with her because of how brave and self-sacrificing she is. And if Edward never left, Bella wouldn’t have bonded with Jacob and Jacob wouldv’e never fell in love with Bella and there would be no drama at all in the story. There is a lot that hap­penes when Edward leaves and that is the whole point. If you are cur­rently read­ing New Moon, keep read­ing because you will be sat­is­fied of the outcome.

this book is absolutely amaz­ing. Stephanie Meyer is a genius!

I am in the mid­dle of new moon cur­rently and i hate it i cant believe edward went away the story is just too bor­ing now. I mean with­out edward, and bella together the story doesnt make any scence. I wish, when i read eclipse edward comes back. I can­not believe bel­las hang­ing out with that bor­ing Jacob Black.

All i want to say is that even though Bella was really annoy­ing like really…
no i mean really really annoying.…..I still like her because i told my sis­ter that i don’t like to read the book but after read­ing about Bella falling in love with a vam­pire named Edward it all became very inter­est­ing for me!
While Bella fell in love with Edward i fell in love with the book! Even though i am 9 years old and i don’t under­stand some words in the book i got really inter­ested in this book! I cant wait till i get my hands on New Moon!! This time i will never let it go! Has in never ever ever!! Im wait­ing for it to be on Fully Book in the Philip­pines in Gateway,Cubao…

O.M.G. I AM GOING TO SEE STEPHENIE MEYER AT THE BREAKING DAWN TOUR!!! AHHHHH! this is so cool! is any­one else going????

OMG! have you seen the break­ing dawn cover?? please, if you have have not seen it yet click here, http://​www​.stephe​niemeyer​.com/​b​r​e​a​k​i​n​g​d​a​w​n​.​h​tml. if you can’t click here, type it in. when u see it, let me know what you think!!

I agree, there would be no point to the story if Bella were to become a vam­pire. But, I still have the feel­ing of dis­s­a­point­ment to not know what will become of Bella. I think it would be rather dis­s­a­point­ing for her to grow old, and Edward to stay beau­ti­ful in his youth. I want there to be a twist in the fourth book. I agree with Jane, if she became a vam­pire would Edward still feel the same about her? Maybe, since the other two vam­pire cou­ples are hap­pily together.

OMG!!! has any­one seen the trailer for twi­light yet??? OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG !!!! watch it and let me knoe how u like it!!!

what page do bella and edward almost have sex?

Join this forum and talk about Twi­light more

i com­pletely agree that the idea of jacob and bella falling in love is a lit­tle absurd and hay­wire. it throws the story off. jacob ends up with a bro­ken heart, makes bella feel awful to a point where she wants to die, and edward feels bel­las pain. its a wacked up. they might have been bet­ter off with bella not get­ting involved. but of course thats just my opin­ion. im sure it’ll change. any­ways… did you guys see the cast for the twi­light movie?? tell me what you think. i cant wait to hear. bubye for now!!!

Well thanks anto­nia and know that i have read new moon. i now the hole part of the final of eclipse. It made me sick to now that she is in love with jacob. If she goes away from edward to jacob it would be a desapoi­ment. I dont like jacob thou he is friendly but i like edward because he is dan­ger­ous a vam­pire and he is in love with a human. I realy cant wait for the movie any longer please if you or any one else now about the movie write here and a will have a look and if you now some span­ish write in span­ish because i some­times dont onder stand i thing in eng­lish. thanks.

Thats the web­site… Any­ways.. the appli­ca­tion is on the bottom…Good Luck (Y)

Thanks every­body!! my birth­day was great. again thanks. by the way i went to a cheer­lead­ing com­pe­ti­tion. we got 1^st!!!! yehhhh. and it was 2 days after my birth­day so i was sooo happy. any­ways i saw a movie with kris­ten in it and she was great. you guys should see one with her. tell me wat u think. i cant wait to hear. g2g. bye for now!!

My Birth­day is in 4 more days !

on the 26^th

Happy belated b-day Liz! sry I haven’t been on in a while. I already knew who was play­ing Bella a while back but I just found out that Robert pat­tin­son was play­ing Edward a few days ago. I think he is attarc­tive but I don’t know much about his act­ing abil­ity asides from what I saw in Harry Pot­ter. Although i hear he has his fair share of fan girls so here’s hop­ing he can live up to the honor of being Edward!! ^^

Hey every­one! Happy B-Day Liz! Well, I went to Stephanie Meyer’s web­site a while back, and it’s Kris­ten Stew­art play­ing Bella. Don’t freak, I’m POSITIVE she’ll do an AWESOME job because I saw a few movies with her in it. If you see the movie ‘Speak,’ you’ll see how great she tru­ely is. In that movie she has such an EXTREME pow­er­ful role, IN THE MOVIE she’s a 14-year old girl who got raped, and she’s liv­ing her life with no friends as a fresh­man. It sounds iffy, but it is sooooooooo AMAZING! I’m not going to say any­more, I want you all to see it. I was dis­ap­pointed with the deci­sion of Robert Pat­ter­son, but now I see that he’ll do a really good job… I hope. He was really good in Harry Pot­ter and the Gob­let of Fire as Cedric Dig­gory. Well, let me hear your com­ments, and sorry for writ­ing so much!

happy belated birth­day liz!
i dont know about kris­ten stew­art, but robert pattinson’s not bad. if u watch the deleted scene in van­ity fair, hes pretty freakin hot (=

Thanks Liz!! ^^ Hey kelly I get so into it to!! haha! I get all antsy and if some­one walks into my room w/o knock­ing when i’m read­ing the cli­mac­tic parts I’ll seri­ously scream!! Haha!! ^^ My best friend justt read eclipse and I guess she’s really into the Vol­turi! Haha! They have fans too! It’s not just the Cul­lens i guess… Who knEw!? ^^ Bye everyone!

Hey Every­one! I’m baaaackk! LOL! I’m reread­ing Eclipse again. I’m try­ing to get as much fun read­ing in before school starts back up… tomor­row! URG! No more Charles Dick­ens PLEASE! LOL! Well, I have to say espe­cially to peo­ple who haven’t read New Moon and maybe dis­cour­aged because you’ve heard that Edward isn’t in the book as much. First of all, read it your­self and make your own opin­ion of the book! Also, I enjoyed New Moon soooooo much despite Edward’s absence from the mid­dle of the book. The novel is writ­ten so well, and you laugh, cry, fell hope, dis­pair, and you go up and down, and you’re giv­ing your emo­tions a work­out! Well, I don’t want to bore you all so I’ll say bye, bye, byeee! (Bye Bye… sound famil­iar? Sorry, I’m not funny)!

Omg… i got the two toher books for christ­mas… i got New moon and eclipse.… i read twilight,Newmoon and im almost fin­ished eclipse.…. New moon was so sad..well i guess it did have a happy end­ing.… i actu­ally cried… when edward leaves her… i was sit­ting on my bed..curled up in a ball crying…lol… its just…im so into it…lol.. and what get me mad is when jacob is get­ting in the way…

*shrugs* Well.. got to go.. tell me about what u think..

yasaid u should really read new moon n order 2 under­stand eclipse that is y u don’t under­stand the last chap­ter read new moon n u will under­stand i would tell u what hap­pens but i wont bc 1. that would take up way too much space and 2. i dont want to spoil it 4 u

oh, you should read try read­ing new moon then if you havent (= edward is still in the begin­ing and the end, but just not just mid­dle. and even if he’s not there stephe­nie mey­ers still makes the story good. i also think its inter­est­ing how bella has these illu­sions in her head and how the meadow takes part in the book, but some­thing dif­fer­ent hap­pens. Any­thing stephe­nie writes is great, so i don’t think you would want to miss out.

and im start­ing to ignore the whole oth­ers get­ting into it is both­er­ing me thing. what­ev­er­rrr. i hope i can find more books that are as good as this, if its possible =)

i dont care what every­one says, i love this book. it gives me but­ter­flies and makes me smile.
i love the twi­light series and i’m in so much sus­pense wait­ing for break­ing dawn! i’m also pretty stoked about mid­night sun! stephe­nie mey­ers is AMAZING

new moon was just as good as twi­light. you peo­ple dont think that though because i bet you pre­fer edward… over jacob. twi­light is all about edward and bella. new moon is mostly about bella and jacob. but dont we all just pre­fer edward and bella?

awwkary even tho i don’t know u lol y does jake annoy u i kinda feel sorry 4 him. but yea u r kinda rite he keeps get­ting in the way of bella and edward

I agree too (as usual), LOL! I wish Icould write more, but I’m not sup­posed to be on the com­puter.
PS. I’m glad every­one is back!

and i know you guys are for­real as well ;] ahah !

Yay! You’re back!!!
And I totally agree (as usual)!!!
There is SO much more to a rela­tion­ship than just the phys­i­cal stuff! There is the feel­ings and con­nec­tion between the two people’s hearts!
ALL the shal­low preppy girls in my school read Twi­light and then go around say­ing they love it s much, but don’t they see the mes­sage of the story? TRYE LOVE! But all they care about is well… you know.

It’s okay that your 13. Seri­ously, Twi­light is amaz­ing no mat­ter how old you are! I miss Leslie and Han­nah

Jake annoys me 2. I think Eclipse and Twi­light are equal in great­ness. New­moon wasn’t as good but it had the best end­ing out of all 3!

I want to write a really long post one day! C;

wow i did write a lot.

this is just spose to be my reply to peo­ple and their neg­a­tive opin­ions about bella and jacob and edward. (:

Hehe! I love to read too! And I also like to write so it’s so cool to hear from some­one else who also does! I WISH I could write as well as Steph Meyer too!!!!! Oh well… I guess some are just blessed! Anthony leave a post before we all die waiting.

A guy read­ing from a girls point of view is cool. It’s what we called open-minded and its just damn awe­some [: some guys are too proud to do that or what­ever . Any­one seen mem­oirs of a geisha? Well its a movie based on a novel that a guy wrote. And the book was in the geisha’s pov, coool huh? and YES i like to write. some­times. (: (: (: haha but some­times my stuff don’t make sense. So i don’t do it much any­more. Cause I’m not very good at express­ing my thoughts i guess. Although it might not seem like it from my past posts, express­ing myself is still dif­fi­cult for me. but one thing i do like to do i read, i like to read what­ev­ers inter­est­ing and good and excit­ing. chyeahh. Which is why I am such a fan of stephe­nie meyer’s writ­ing! If i can write like that, I swear it would be so SOO cool (:

holy sock? lmao

Holy SOCK!!! Anthony you are my new hero!!!!!!!! Same ques­tion as Han­nah!!!!!!!!!!! Tee-hee! Sierra I book mark my favorite parts so I can go back and read them too!!! Well, g2g Byez!

i absolutely loved these books and like all good books i just wanted to pause my life and jump into them

what the heck, the rest of my post is gone )x

I like many oth­ers found myself very upset with Edward and the rest of the Cul­lens leav­ing. And I con­stantly found myself wait­ing for her next delu­sion, I even had a book­marker where Alice returned and one where Edward returned, I love to reread all three of these books though but have decided that the next time I decide to reread New Moon I will only read the begin­ning and end­ing as suggested.

for­re­als, school tomor­row and I pro­cras­ti­nated because I was busy today. I hate real­ity I want my life to be like those awe­some thrilling sto­ries you read. Bella for exam­ple. Lucky ass chick, she gets to meet some­one like edward cullen. And it seems like she can fin­ish her home­work like THAT *snaps my fin­ger*
well any­ways, i know i said the whole ordi­nary girl thing bella has going on gives us hope. But then again, she’s one pop­u­lar chick and a guy mag­net. Which is some­thing I’m def­i­nitely not, no hope for me there. )= there must be like a gazil­lion girls out there who are pret­tier and fun­nier and just bet­ter than me, all in all. and i’m get­ting tired of com­pet­ing with them, maybe because i CAN’T com­pete with them. Bella isn’t really that ordi­nary, once you think about it. There just might be some other girl who’s even more plain and ordi­nary than bella, nobody knows her name, and edward doesn’t even know who she is. And she just wishes that she was bella, because bella kind of has it all. I’m not say­ing she’s per­fect, I’m just say­ing she’s still lucky. She’s got jacob AND edward and all those peo­ple who care about her. And her life def­i­nitely isn’t bor­ing.
I guess I’m post­ing this cause, thats just how I think today, how i think right now. sure, bella’s in a sticky sit­u­a­tion. But some peo­ple, some peo­ple are just wait­ing for the days to pass watch­ing all their best friends liv­ing the life of their dreams. And even through all bella’s prob­lems, she can’t even bring her­self to regret com­ing to forks. I’m still wait­ing for my life to start =/
ok, i’m gonna go. It’s been a longgg day, i’m gonna go find some encour­ag­ing music to lis­ten to so hope­fully I’ll quit being so emo-ish
lat­ers every­one
and thanks karry and han­nah for tak­ing time to actu­ally read what i put. haha

Awwww! Thanks Karry, your awe­some! That’s was so not cheesey! I totally agree with you, read­ing the Stephanie Meyer books are totally escape from my hec­tic and busy life! THIS might sound cheesey: the Stephanie Meyer nov­els have totally changed the per­spec­tive of guys… I know, that nobody’s per­fect, but I’m totally into nice, respect­ful, and may I say cute (hot) juys. Well, gotta go, it’s FRIDAY! YAY!

I’m obsessed with the cul­lens too (= stephe­nie meyer’s books are hekkaaa inspi­ra­tional for me, i love them. They’re my escape some­times too for­reaal ! haha.
and as for the being used thing. I’ve been there =l hence my posts before. Guys now a days are ~!@#$%^&* . yeeap. real­ity really does get in the way of things or..it gets in the way of how u want things to be. hmmm =/
but its nice to be able to talk to peo­ple bout ur prob­lems sometimes

I love you Dr,phil and I agree with you 100%! Haha! This week­end was Home­com­ing dance at my school so of course it was full boy drama! UCK! I don’t think boys ever grow up!

Unless they live for­ever like the Cul­lens! HAHA sorry, but i’m obsessed with them.

*Sigh* This web­site just so turned into the dr.phil show! This week­end I found out that my crush had been using me cause he knew I liked him! What a jerk! Oh well, at least i can always retreat from the real world into a good book! Talk to you guys later!

YAY! I hope it did! Well, gotta go unfor­tu­nately, my dad needs the com­puter. Bye!

ahah, It’s okay I like it when you turn into Dr.Phil cause it really helps me out. =D

We for­give you leslie. I fin­ished all my home­work in study­hall. You know what you are so right about he guy thing!!!!! Maybe our expec­ta­tions are to high but I don’t think an hon­est nice gut is to much to ask!! Some­one who loves you for your good stuff but even more for your flaws!! Some­one who won’t be shal­low or care if you’re really skinny!!!!! RAR!! Boys suck!!! I want the Cul­lens to be real!!!!!!!!!!

I was gonna put some­thing down but i for­got. Hmm what was it again, haha
Oh yeah
I love that edward cullen (: and I think a lot of us do. We all want a guy who will be there to PROTECT us. Pretty much the typ­i­cal thing to want. Even bet­ter, some­one who will ONLY look at YOU, when a crowd of other hot­ter and pret­tier girls are fight­ing for his atten­tion (= A guy that knows when to take charge as long as it’s what’s best for you(= thats kind of hot. Pushovers are … yeah.
And edward, knows when he’s being a jerk to bella. Smart and funny and won’t let you think of your­self as infe­rior to him cause he loves you so much. It’s like your flaws don’t mat­ter. Wow, I need a guy like that because I have SO many flaws
Basi­cally! the qual­i­ties of edward that i hella diggggggg (x lol
Really when you think about it, guys today..can learn a hell of a lot from him. Too many playas and ass­holes now a days
it’s like, they should just be real, be true. :l and hell no I don’t think that’s too much to ASK. haha

omg, please excuse the cussing (= ahah. I don’t know what’s wrong with me today

I’m so glad that we agree, or that we think along the same lines guys. And I couldn’t imag­ine Bella with Jake, he’s cute and husky, and she loves him in a way… a big way, but like Stephanie Meyer says in her Eclipse FAQs, every­one loves some­one else in a com­pletely dif­fer­ent way. But she loves Edward 100 times more, in a head-over-heels, totally in roman­tic, and irrev­o­ca­ble deep true love. YAY! Any­hoo, It’s a Sun­day, and I’ve already com­pleted my hw yes­ter­day, so I’ve got a free rest of the day! Cheers everyone!

Hey to you Han­nah! I totally agree!! i agree with Leslie too, it is your opin­ion Krys Law,but i still think Bella and Edward belong together!!!!!! EEKK!!! *Fan Girl Attack* I can’t wait for them to get mar­ried!!!!
by the way Han­nah, i totally know what you’re say­ing with the school thing. Ugh! I had math home­work on the first day!! Geez! But I did get to go to a con­cert last night!! sEE YA BUDS!

Hey every­body, espe­cially Karry! I haven’t been able to blog in a while because I’m so busy with school, home­work, and cheer­lead­ing prac­tice (long prac­tice hours.. urg.. oh well, I love it). School started back up on August 20^th. I live in Florida, I know, far away form Forks! Any­way, I love the way the books are writ­ten and I’m gonna have to dis­agree and say that I love Bella with Edward. I couldn’t see it any other way. Jake’s a cutie friend, but I’m SO glad she chose Edward, and they’re get­ting MARRIED! I would squeal like an excited lit­tle girl, but you can’t hear it so just imag­ine me annoy­ing you. But I’ve writ­ten enough. I don’t want to bore any­one. Bye buds.

I would of pref­ered Edward if he didnt come back! Jacob was more there for her.

Actu­ally i dis­agree i was find­ing myself anx­ious to see what hap­pened with the whole were­wolf things. don’t get me wrong i was angry when edward left but duh i knew he would come back it was too obvi­ous that he was lying to me cause thats what he said in twi­light that he couldn’t live with­out her and that she was is life, so it was kinda obvi­ous that he was gonna come back eventually.

I”m read­ing Eclipse and it’s great!!!!I love Jacob,edward is act­ing so stupid…I don’t now but now I pre­fer Jacob…bye

I love writ­ing about the books too! that si why am so happy to have found this site! THANK YOU STEPH MEYER FOR WRITING THESE BOOKS!
By the way Han­nah, you have home­work? When did school start for you? I still have about a week. YIKES!

Thanks for the reas­sur­ance Han­nah. We can’t all be per­fect like the Cul­lens. Monika, I checked out that web­site! It was pretty sweet. I love the name Avan­ge­line so MUCH!!! Oh, and “Stephe­nie Meyer is the best” Just for your infor­ma­tion we talk about Steph Meyer’s books BECAUSE we think they are amaz­ing. We are all enti­tled to our own opin­ions, but if you don’t like it then why don’t you just keep YOUR opin­ions to YOURSELF and not come on our mes­sage board to be a snot.

gesshes you guys who com­ment rude things about book just need to shut it and keep your rude opi­ons to your selfs!!!

i think stephe­nie meyer is doing a amaz­ingly great job !!! keep it up good work.. superb !!! thrilling !!! let the author write the book the way she wants geesh !!! >:C

it was stu­pid how she finally real­izes she loves jacob…whats up with that?

YAY!! hehe! Thanks Han­nah! Any­ways, you’re wel­come Leslie! I’m so glad I found this sight! It is so nice to hear other people’s opinoins on the books, even if they aren’t the same as mine. I respect each person’s per­spec­tive too! It’s so great to talk to peo­ple who Steph Mey­ers’ books just like me!! Did you guys hear that they’re gonna make a Twi­light movie? Well I gotta go! But I’ll be back!! Haha!

Thanks for the recog­ni­tion, Karry. Though I thought a lit­tle dif­fer­ently, I still respect everyone’s per­spec­tive, and their opin­ions. I know, I’m so glad Bella chose Edward. I mean, she loved Jake, but, it wasn’t nearly how much she loved Edward… yes. I love the Cul­lens too. That’s awe­some, you’re only 14 too. Well, gotta go and leave some­one else to reply later… see ya!

Hi every­one! I’m baaaaaaac­c­c­ck­kkk! LOL! Well, I can proudly and suc­cess­fully declare that Eclipse was the best book I’ve ever read! The Twi­light nov­els just keep get­ting bet­ter and bet­ter! Well, I can definitly agree in say­ing that I LOVE the fact that the “ordi­nary girl” and the per­fect guy fall des­per­ately in love! I love how Bella’s not the def­i­n­i­tion of a “mega hot­tie,” you know, pos­si­bly blonde, a cher­leader or another ath­lete, grace­ful, or super skinny. But she is still beau­ti­ful, she’s got a very unique per­son­al­ity… and we all know that Bella’s not “ugly”… duh. LOL!
I have mixed feel­ings in the state­ment: “Bella is very self­ish.” Bella does not want any­one to get hurt over her. She wouldn’t be able to live with her­self if any­one got hurt fight­ing for her. So, she does not want to be self­ish. But Though I do say that I don’t think that Bella is self­ish, I have to con­sider that Bella is deeply in love with Edward, and love makes you make rash deci­sions… well, I wouldn’t know… I’ve never fallen in love… I’m only 14. But if I was in love, I could hardly imag­ine. Bella wanted to have her best friend Jacob, and her true love Edward. Is that self­ish? Maybe, some might say that. But wouldn’t that hurt some­one? It hurt Jacob… it was going to hurt one of the two.
I’ll wright again. I’ve writ­ten enough for now. TTFN! I really CAN’T wait for Mid­night Sun. How will I ever be able to wait? Well, enough of my ram­bling… Bye!

i know that was long but, i have a lot to say(= so yeah for­give me

okay Leslie, I do totally agree with you on the piont that is com­pletely awe­some that the aver­age look­ing girl won. And Bella does have other char­ac­ter­is­tics that I can relate to. Such as her hate for par­ties. Haha! but I find it self­ish how she makes Edward choose between him and his fam­ily by using an excuse she knew would hurt him. Also her being in love with Jacob was infu­ri­at­ing. She was just hurt­ing them both by noet being able to choose. how sad. oh well, sigh. haha! I can’t wait for the 4^th book. I kinda wish that Steph Meyer would make all the books in an edward POV ver­sion. Hehe, too bad.

OMG!!!!!!!!! ECLIPSE IS NOW MY NEW FAVORITE!!!!!!
it is sooo good and if you havent read it yet… you should be ashamed!
i lov this book sooo much! and if you are a JACOB fan you have to read this one!

oh yeah i DEFINITELY cant wait for edwards pov either. it has to be more, excit­ing than bel­las. the first chap­ter of mid­night sun was so.….….….…damn good already(= i want more. haha

mare, i will tell u priv­etly so that i dont spoil it for every one but i need you to do me a favor!! email me your email address so i can tell u — mine is cutedidia1​0​1​@​aim.​com

yep. and for the ppl who so badly wanna know what hap­pens in eclipse, do u really want us to spoil it for u? its so much more worth it when u read it the first time even if u have to wait.…(= atleast i think so. im not even done with it, im in the mid­dle some­where. I wanna take it slow and enjoy every freakin detail =D

I just end with read­ing New moon and it’s great and it was on eng­lish because they didn’t trans­late on Croa­t­ian yet.And I don’t think that Eclipse is going to be here in Croa­tia soon..so I need to now what is going on in Eclipse!!!

What about sex??What is going on please tell us,some of us are not going to read Eclipse at least for one year because they don’t live in America…so please

on my last com­ment when i said “her turn­ing down… ” i meant stephe­nie srry!

No, really, Stephanie is mak­ing a fourth book. It’s called Break­ing Dawn. I’m going to get Eclipse in a few days! I had to order it online because my town’s stores won’t get it for another 3 weeks at least… so the wait comes to my benifit I guess. See ya!

I want Eclipse too!

I dis­agree with you, but I do respect your opin­ion… and I CAN’T wait for Eclipse!!

I agree with that too.

My opin­ion is very sim­i­lar to yours. I do agree with you that it dosen’t mat­ter to me which book is bet­ter… I don’t think Twi­light was bet­ter than New Moon, or New Moon was bet­ter than Twi­light. I loved them both. I’m excited for Mid­night Sun to come out also! But I’m super excited for ECLIPSE to come out! I bought the Spe­cial Edi­tion New Moon about 2 weeks ago and read the first chap­ter of Eclipse. I also read the Eclipse quotes of the day, every­day. I love try­ing to fig­ure out if any quote would give some­thing away… I think one did… but I’m not going to copy it down on here only because I’m sure it’s ille­gal. But I’ve pre-ordered Eclipse online over a month ago– unfor­tu­nately my small town dosen’t get the book until at least a month late. I know… that real­l­lly sucks– oh well, like I said, I pre-ordered it. Well, I think I wrote a lot already… sorry about that. Bye.

I WANT ECLIPSE. IM GONNA DIE IF I DONT GET IT SOON! Man i am WAY to obsessed. I think that New Moon was just as good as Twiligh…EXCEPT.…NEw Moon needed more edward.…but New moon had more of a clear plot. It was less scat­tered then Twilight.

I regret mak­ing any­one feel like I was attack­ing some­one. I just meant to say that every­one has their own opin­ion, and you should call any­one names for it. But you said, Avid Reader.

Lexi, though I encour­aged Unequa, I do have to agree with you. Every­one is unti­tled to their own opin­ion, but I couldn’t nit-pick at New Moon, like many have… I enjoyed and appre­ci­ated it too much.

I loved New Moon and Twi­light both! Peo­ple who didn’t like New Moon as much as Twi­light because of the lack of Edward eeds to real­ize that it was bound to have hap­pend… but the good thing is that Bella and Edward are together again! YAY! Bella and Edward will be together in Eclipse at the end for sure… I read the first chap­ter of Eclipse weeks ago… It’s AWESOME! I’m SOOOO excited for August for Eclipse!!!!!

TRUE! AMEN SISTA! LOL

I WANT THE THIRD BOOK SO BADLY!!!!!! I think I’ll lose my mind if i dont have it! Doesn’t August seem to come veeeeery slowly now?

I don’t mean to spoil this for you, but Edward comes back, and it’ll explain why he left! I know that you may be stuck, but remem­ber that Bella lost Edward, and she’s suf­fer­ing a heart­break. If this helps, the words New Moon is the dark­est part of day, and it rep­re­sents the dark­est part of Bella’s life (so there’s usu­ally only one bad part of your life). You’ll LOVE New Moon, and you’ll be dying to het ahold of the first chap­ter of Eclipse. I couldn’t wait any longer. I bought the spe­cial edi­tion of New Moon and I read the first chap­ter of Eclipse, and I LOVED IT! Trust me, you’ll LOVE New Moon! I CAN’T WAIT TILL AUGUST!

Thank you Lexi for that com­ment. I’m glad that you feel that way about New Moon. I LOVE New Moon, and I also LOVE Twi­light. You are com­pletely cor­rect about New Moon being noth­ling like Twi­light, and so peo­ple com­pare sequels to the first book and get dis­a­pointed if their favorite char­ac­ter isn’t in the book as much. Edward is still in New Moon, and still loves Bella… yes. I new that Jacob was great to Bella, and yet I couldn’t get over my dis­like to Jacob because he wanted to be more than friends to Bella. I just loved Edward and Bella together too much to see her with some­one else. Juliet loves Romeo not Paris, remem­ber? LOL. But I read Stephanie Meyer’s FAQs for New Moon and the title means the dark­est part at night, which is used to rep­re­sent the dark­est point in Bella’s life, and so Edward looks like he’s not going anywhere…yes. I also agree with you Lexi, August isn’t com­ming fast enough!

What are you talk­ing about? Alice payed the guard in Italy with thou­sand dol­lar bill to drive her CAR (not air­plane) in the city when only tour busses were allowed in! What you sayed never even hap­pened! That’s OK though, that made me laugh.

I WANT THE THIRD BOOK NOW!!!I WANT IT NOWW!!!!! (third book is Eclipse com­ing in august) I WANT IT FREAKING NOW!!!!!!

dude im soo siced about the mvie and book

Where can I read the first chap­ter of Eclipse besides the spe­cial adi­tion of New Moon?

dont we all????.…
i also want edward
te he he

hy I read new moon and it’s great!!!! bye

sorry monika, i can’t do that, it will spoil everything!

:pinch: If I were a vamp Liz…I’d come and suck ur blood! :devil: Just kid­dning but not really… I sort of get what is hap­pen­ing in chap.1 because I read stuff on the http://​www​.twi​lightlex​i​con​.com so its okay. Im sort of phsy­cic.. (if I spelled that right yull get it)… like my lit­tle brother has leukimia bad and I had a dream a week before hed be diag­nosed with it and I knew when my gramps was gonna die and i had this dream that Eclipse bad! :cwy: but dont trust me…Im just tel­lign u what I think. yah so any­ways enough of my phyco rant… BYE! :w00t:

i think that the rea­son we were all so irri­tated with bella is because we felt exactly how she did. all we wanted was for edward to re-enter the story so that we could “be with him”. and i think that’s exactly what stephanie was try­ing to do. she was build­ing up the annoy­ance and the agony and the long hours spend pin­ing away for Edward, so that when he finally did arrive, it would be beyond amazing.

I guess I would have to agree with the major­ity of peo­ple here and say that to me New Moon was a bit of a let down. I loved Twi­light, it’s the best book I’ve ever read. But New Moon just made me angry. I bawled when Edward left because Edward is who I’m in love with. What’s a sequel with­out Edward? That would be like the Bible with­out Jesus, or Elmers with­out glue. I never learned to like Jacob Black because I was just try­ing to read as fast as I could to get through the book to see if Edward would actu­ally return. But Stephe­nie Meyer did advise peo­ple to go back and reread the book so they could learn to appre­ci­ate the per­son that Jacob Black is. I’m sorry, but I don’t think I could read it again. I think I would not like Jacob more if I reread it. Peo­ple ask me why I don’t like him, cuz it’s not his fault. But I just think he seems weak, and too will­ing to do what­ever Bella wants. I was very happy at the end of the book when Edward returned and things were good. I’m just ner­vous that he’ll leave again, even though he though promised not to, I’m just uneasy. But I am sooooo excited about Eclipse. And I do think that Stephe­nie Meyer is an awe­some writer…the best.

weee Monika!!!!!!I’m from Zagreb,and you? what about secret book„,and we all love twi­light you need to tell us.… :angry: :blink: :biggrin:

hey twilightlove98 wats the title of that secret book? wear can i pre-order? :cheerful:

[quote comment=“1014”]You were right to be some­what wary of the follow-up. I was just incred­u­lous many a time while read­ing this book. So let me get this right, to pre­vent the death and destruc­tion of the Cul­lens by the Vol­turi, Bella must die? Please tell me this is a joke? I hope the author doesn’t expand on this stu­pid thread?[/quote]
yea s thNXS FOR com­ment­ing back sorry it took me so long I had a llot to do!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE! but yea I am count­ing the days till ECLIPSE comes out… hey did you know that there isgonna be a secret book besides Breaking Dawn :w00t: it is so hoit but I wasnt supposed to tell.. I'm pretty sure I read it somewhere :ninja: I pre ordered it!! New Moon sucked the part was awful when all of a sudden it just stopped the words..

Hey..Well I just fin­ished read­ing New Moon­like this morning..Hm. the book was only ok…i agree that Twi­light is sooo MUCH bet­ter!!!! but over­all New Moon was good.…XD The mid­dle part of the book was like soo boring…and i found myself kept on read­ing until Edward appears in the story…again…I think the author made a mis­take tak­ing edward and all of the Cul­lens out of the story…it was never good with­out Edward!!! Haha and the cul­lens! I mean…i didnt really like read­ing about Jacob…er..kinda boring.…..I just cant wait until Eclipse comes out!!!!! AUGUST IS WAYY TOO LONG!!!!!!!! :get­lost: :angry:

hello, back again, i fin­ished new moon a cou­ple days ago, and it was kinda bor­ing, but like Kisa, i was glued to it and couldnt wait until Edward came back, and per­son­ally (though you may find this dumb) i hope Bella becomes a Vam­pire and lives hap­pily ever after with Edward and Carlisle, and Esme, Rosalie(eeeh),Emmet,Jasper,AND ALICE I LOVE ALICE YAY!!!!
:heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: ALICE :happy: :kiss­ing: :heart: :heart: :heart: :kiss­ing: :heart: :kiss­ing: any­ways, my friend thinks that in Eclipse (i kno for sure it is name of next book) some­thing will hap­pen and Bella wont become a vam­pire, and Edward had a good idea, he will blood her if she mar­ries him, and of course they are help­lessly in love so that wont really be a prob­lem, i hope. Any­ways just post and ill check my email every once in awhile, see what you guys have to say, ty for read­ing. BYEZ!!!!!!!!!!

wow!!! monika you sure love Edward! but dont fell bad.….i think im in love with him too! unfor­tu­natley i dont have any news on ECLIPSE or any of the book but i agree with you about the girl play­ing Ros­alie ( i dont remem­ber her name) but she does look kinda slutty.( srry no offense to any­one out there who would find that offend­ing)
but any­way if any one has any info, any at all, be sure to write it here!!
oodles of thanks!!!!! :big­grin: :tongue:
sarah

p.s. i still :heart: edward! CAN YOU SAY SEXY??? :heart: :heart: :heart:

I read New Moon first and I per­son­ally though it was a lit­tle bet­ter than Twi­light. When I was read­ing New Moon I couldn’t put it down I was glued to that book for like a day then I found out the Twi­light was the frist one and I had to pick it up. It didn’t draw me in like New Moon did though. I though that hav­ing Edward leave was nes­sary to show how much she relies on him and how much she needs him. I agree with a lot of you and dis­agree with some of you. I can’t wait for Eclips comes out, I wanna throw a party or some­thing I have so many friends that are just in love with them.
Well Ttly peo­ples
^.^

I loved Twiligt
New Moon was only amaz­ing dur­ing the parts where edward was included
I don’t reall know what Edward sees in Bella
I love Edward
:heart:
I can;t wait for Book 3
And 4
And 5
I wan’t Edward and Bella to both be vamm­pires but that would screw up a lot of things in the novel prob­a­bly
It would be great if they had a child but I think thats impos­soble since vam­pires don’t change their like age and appearence so the kid would stay a baby forever…true?
Did I men­tion I love Edward?
I think melie was right about what the rib­bon on the Eclipse cover Exem­plafies
But I hope not since I want Bella and Edward to stay together for­ever
I hope bel­las char­ac­ter bcomes less annoy­ing in Book 3,4,5
I love Edward
And peo­ple who love him and Twi­light rock!!!!!! :big­grin:
Bye Bye

hey
i thought that new moon was a great sequel and i really cant wait for the next one :heart:
it makes me real­ize just how much love can mean to some­one
and how dif­fi­cult life is
i wish every momen of every­day that i was bella :ermm:

OMG!! go to stephe­nie meyer’s web­site, http://​www​.stephe​niemeyer​.com, and read the info about eclipse… its comin out Augest 7^th…!!!!!1 finally!!!!

a few weeks ago i posted a com­ment ask­ing if i should read NEW MOON or not. Melie you were so right about read­ing that book. so many of my friends how have the exact sme thoughts as me abso­lut­ley HATED that book. but it turned out that the book, in my opin­ion, was as go as TWILIGHT. mabey slightly bet­ter. so if any body out there is think­ing that this book aint worth while, trust it is!!!!!! :cheerful:

p.s. THANKS MELIE

When I first read Twi­light, I was in love with it. I read it sev­eral times over and over, until I went out and pur­chased New Moon. I was deeply dis­ap­pointed. Twi­light was cap­ti­vat­ing and allur­ing. I stayed up all night read­ing and couldn’t stand to put the book down. But, with New Moon, it wasn’t so dif­fi­cult. I agree with all of you, the best parts of the book included Edward and the Cul­lens. I nearly squealed with excite­ment when Edward was men­tion more habit­u­ally and was finally back into the pic­ture. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy Stephe­nie Meyer’s writ­ing abil­i­ties, but the sequel failed to do the same for me as Twi­light did.

Though, I’m almost embarassed to that I cried in the begin­ning, when Edward was break­ing things off with Bella. I was dev­asted! What sort of hope does that give us, drool­ing over the per­fect, god-like, Edward? And then towards the end, when Edward was explain­ing his love Bella, I got emo­tional. But other than those parts, I was bored.

I want Bella very badly to become a vam­pire, so that Edward and Bella can live equally and in peace, but I agree with Avid Reader, will Bella still appeal to Edward if he no longer thirsts for her blood? Where is the sus­pense, the action, the fear that keeps us on our toes when she becomes a ‘mon­ster’ like her beloved?

I hope Eclipse will not be a dis­ap­point­ment as New Moon was. I am so anx­ious to for it’s release!

I liked it but bella .. edward kind of upset me. to say all those things. you cant blame bella for think­ing she wasnt wanted after all. doesnt mat­ter how many times you say i love you if you say i dont want you that can leave a scar on a per­son. he same one said that bella is so del­i­cate do u not real­ize her heart is even more del­i­cate espe­cially if she loves edward so strongly.

But he did say that he loves bella abd bella shouldnt loose faith in him so quickly. Like wat the hell. If you really truly think about edward he is SERIOUSLY not the type of gy to say I love you and then 3 days later say I dont want yuo any­more. I seri­ously doubt that.

Heres the deal bella should be more faith­ful and Edward should have nver said those crappy things. But what killed me was all those days of mourn­ing. I was dying.. like where did the words GO!!!! its like oct, nov, dec, jan,. I thought wat did Edward do to her. To the oppos­ing sides well u were rite o how there needs to be more edward and the oth­ers were right if ithey liked the book. It really shos how much bella loves edward. She loves him enough to take ratio­nally— more than I ever would, think of your­selves about this one…—– and say good­bye. that is pretty tough.

It was kind of annoy­ing though Jacob was who annoyed me.. not Bella. But if.. I use that very loosly, if she writes a series to Mid­night Sun you could really get inside edward head. It is eye capturing.

And just so you know If you didnt like the bok u wouldnt have fin­shed it in the firts place. TUST ME you would have stopped. That shows the book was inter­est­ing to you. You were curious!

That part when edwars pro­poses to bella was cute. I hated her response. She was so freaked out. it was funny.
Even if bella turns into a vam­pire… dont you want to know if they have a baby in Break­ing Dawn?… Think about it!

TWILIGHT must have been one of the best books i have ever read! It has every­thing i look for in a book.….romance,adventure,suspence,thrills.I was so excited when i fin­ished it so i could start on NEW MOON. But i thought i would read some com­ments about it first. I WAS SHOCKED BY WHAT I READ!!! A lot of what ive read says i shouldnt even waste my time read­ing this book, was the book truly that BAD??????? i just cant belive that!! TWILIGHT was.… evn though it was a fan­tasy, all the char­ac­ters had the qualiteis that made the story ‚to me, seem as if it really could hap­pen. is NEW MOON worth read­ing? just answer that ques­tion for me. I love Bella and i looovvveee Edward,but help me!!

you know what sarah, i com­pleatly agree with you. after re-reading new moon i think that it is a really awe­some book and i can’t wait to get the 3^rd book…eclipes.

well i read new moon and no, it wasn’t as great as Twi­light i’ll give u that. with­out the cul­lens in most of book espe­cially edward(who i love!!!) just wasn’t the same. i think that was one of stepha­nies MAJOR mis­takes. i do think that the author should have had a scene where bella and vic­to­ria ACTUALLY TALKED!!! i did cry at the begin­ing when edward left her but i enjoyed that part. but my favorite part was when edward askes bella to marry him but i didn’t like the way she just dropped it after bella freaks out when edward askes her if it would have gone bet­ter with a ring. i am a lit­tle dis­s­a­pointed. on the upside, i’m REALLY look­ing for­ward to the next book, Eclipes… but any way i give this book a b .

i have some news, its got noth­ing to do with new moon but i think its kinda cool. i was surf­ing the web try­ing to find out some cool stuff about twi­light and i came across a web­site where stephe­nie talks about this new book called mid­night sun and its Twi­light but its edward telling the story from his pre­spec­tive. shes no where near 1/2 way through but its around 300 pages. i recommened this web site to any­one who is crazy about twi­light! go to google and then enter http://​www​.vam​pire​genre​.com. then go down to where it says 1^st chap­ter avali­able and you can read the 1^st chap­ter of mid­night sun. check it out!

um i haven’t read the book new moon yet and from all of you guys’ opin­ions i think i’ll still read it any­ways. but i will agree with some peo­ple that i don’t think this book will be as good as twi­light. i mean i’ve read twi­light 18 times and it never got old but i really don’t think that will hap­pen with new moon. i am dis­s­a­pointed to hear that the cul­lens aren’t in the book alot. any­ways, is any­one else excited that they’re mak­ing twi­light into a movie!!!! it probobly won’t be as good as the book but i’m still excited

I have to say, though this book was noth­ing com­pared to Twi­light, I quite enjoyed it. The lack of Edward in the book, helped show­case the fact that Bella was more human than you think. When you read the first book, her reac­tions are so unreal-which makes her char­ac­ter interesting-but in this book you start to see how dif­fer­ent from Edward she is, and how much she needs him. If any­thing you real­ize how strong their love is from read­ing this book, and how author­ity won’t take that love away. I loved how she expanded on Jacob’s char­ac­ter more, because it seemed to add a whole other plot­line, another prob­lem to be over­come. It makes me want to read Eclipse even moreso than before. I do agree the end­ing and begin­ning were the best parts of the book, but the end­ing wouldn’t have been the same if their time apart hadn’t been so long. Twi­light may have been bet­ter, but this book was still extremely well writ­ten, and a good read. I still rec­comend this book to any­one who loved Twilight.

I agree that I am in love with the Edward Bella sto­ry­line,
but I couldn’t put New Moon down!
I was entraced by the sto­ry­line of Jacob and Bella’s delu­sions. The lack of Edward really gave the author a chance to show­case other char­ac­ters who, I’m assum­ing, will play major roles in the nov­els to come. I felt that the book lent another dimen­sion to the plot. It added a bunch of his­tory to the char­ac­ters and made it so that the reader stopped idol­iz­ing Edward as the per­fect man. It show­cased the faults of all the char­ac­ters and just how well those faults work together to cre­ate the char­ac­ters we all love. It may not have been the great romance that we were all expect­ing at the start, but it was really nec­es­sary for the series to have depth. I loved it.

Per­son­ally, I can’t say I hated New Moon at all. It wasn’t as good as Twi­light, but sequels rarely are. I sup­pose it would be harder for an author to build on pre­vi­ous char­ac­ters with new, yet believ­able and excit­ing sit­u­a­tions, than to cre­ate inter­est­ing new char­ac­ters in com­pletely dif­fer­ent sce­nar­ios. I really missed Edward when he was gone, but I think it was impor­tant because we needed to see that Bella loved Edward THAT much, see­ing how in Twi­light it seemed, to me at least, that he loved her more than vice versa. Also, every­one who read the book new that Edward would come back, right? Maybe not, but I had just read on Stephe­nie Meyer’s web­bie that she wanted every­one to read the book twice so they could catch the char­ac­ter­i­za­tion that went on with Bella and Jacob, because dur­ing the first read, every­one would be so anx­ious to find Edward. How­ever, I must agree that the Cul­lens make the book and Bella is just the point of view, rather than an amaz­ing char­ac­ter. I hope Edward never leaves again.

well, even if bella becomes a vam­pire, her blood still might ‘sing’ to Edward. but i agree with wht every one has said so far, the mid­dle of new moon was a bit too much on the nerves. i fin­ished twi­light in less than an hour, and i got that feel­ing you get when the wind is in your face, and your heart beats so fast you just cant keep still, even for a moment. i think i did a back­flip or some­thing when i fin­ished read­ing twi­light, because i justt couldn’t con­trol my actions any longer… i love the way stephe­nie meyer writes, and she reallt brings every­thing to life.. the con­flict between edward’s feel­ings and how bells is towards him is, for me, exactly ‘with­dr­wal’, as some­one said pre­vi­ously. but all in all, im wait­ing to see what stephe­nie can come up with in her third book… =)

ps: sorry i typed so much… lol

I agree 100%. I loved it! I mean yes i do hope bella will become a vam­pire! Edward is very dumb to not want her to be one for she is killing her­self in daily life anyway.

What I will do is buy the sec­ond book with a gift cer­tifi­cate or some­thing, because I am hope­ful that book 3 will be bet­ter and I want to know what hap­pens. But, the more I read, the less need I feel I have to run to the store and buy it. That’s so sad. Or, maybe some­one will buy it and I can bor­row it. I will fig­ure some­thing out because I am hope­ful book 3 will be worth it.

Did you read the com­ment by Kim over at my blog? She said that the were­wolves turn due to being in close prox­im­ity to the vam­pires? Huh? Was that in the book? And that wouldn’t explain why the entire La Push clan didn’t turn given that the Cul­lens have been liv­ing in Forks since when?? Years now. And it doesn’t explain why there are no old were­wolves. Only a Pack of 5 just now grow­ing sui generis from the ground?

I don’t want to say that this is just for kids because I think teens are pretty savvy. Wouldn’t they be able to tell that the were­wolf mythol­ogy was com­pletely unex­plained? I won­der where on the ‘net they are talk­ing about this. I’d like to see some commentary.

The were­wolf bit seemed pretty, um, dumb to me and ruth­less. What is the point of tor­tur­ing (emo­tion­ally) a poor char­ac­ter like Joseph Black?

I am not happy, I don’t think I am going to like this book. To be hon­est, I thought that from the blurb about it, but I was try­ing to keep an open mind. I to be hon­est didn’t really like Bella in the first book, I found her annoy­ing. I liked Bella and Edward together. So, now I am scared. I was so hopeful!

I think you are right about the mid­dle being com­plete sub­terfuge and it reflects badly on Bella mak­ing her appear weak. The weaker that she gets, the more I won­der what Edward sees in her.

Thank­fully, this is a three book series and I will hope that Eclipse is strong enough to over­come the flaws in this story. Maybe when the books come out in ebook for­mat, we can just add all of the books together and delete out the mid­dle of Twilight.

My feel­ings exactly. I should have prob­a­bly graded it a C+ too. I don’t remem­ber Bella being so irri­tat­ing in Twi­light. I also agree with you regardng Bella becom­ing a vam­pire. Won’t all her unique­ness van­ish when she becomes a vam­pire. Will her blood still sing to Edward?
