At a first glance, New Moon is the much-anticipated, exciting,
breathtaking sequel to Twilight. When one actually reads the book,
they notice that New Moon isn't what it should be. Edward leaves
Bella to "keep her safe", and Bella goes insane without him. Then
she finds out that the Volturi (vampire killers) are going to kill
Edward and Bella must save him.
Although it's written in strong details (much like it's prequel),
this sequel disappoints. It portrays Bella as a weak person because
of her insanity without her lover, and her depression is
unrealistic, if not sickening. It's hard to get through, rather
boring, spawned a HORRIBLE movie and doesn't have a nice flow.
However, if you want to finish the Twilight series, I would still
recommend you read this book because it is true that there are
facts in New Moon that you are required to know in order to enjoy
the following two novels in the series. I was disappointed by New
Moon!
