This engaging romantic sequel to the best selling book, Twilight by Stephanie Meyer will shock and captivate readers who are already fans of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. In this thrilling novel, readers will be taken on a journey from familiar Forks, Washington all the way to Italy when Edward's brother Jasper makes a terrible mistake, and Edward's only means of keeping his true love safe is to leave her behind. Will Bella’s affection for Edward, and her adrenaline rush for danger bring her to the edge of death? And will Edward make a terrible sacrifice in the name of love? For the answer to these questions, and to find out where Edward and Bella's relationship goes, read New Moon by Stephanie Meyer to find out how the devotion of two people will change their lives dramatically.
After reading previous posts, I decided to read New Moon because of Sam’s review, and just because I had also read Twilight. Although one must read the first book in the series to fully comprehend the storyline, it is definitely worth the time. Stephanie Meyer’s style of writing is appealing to young adults, and older adults as well. I find that her writing is enjoyable because she uses a lot of metaphors and writes very basically. Many people comment that she is an underdeveloped writer, but her lack of experience actually makes her books enjoyable. The writing is easy to interpret although sometimes it is repetitive. I would recommend this book, especially to those who are interested in the Twilight series and have read the first book as well.
