    Just a few pages in, I found that I had high hopes for this sequel. Edward leaves, and Bella is able to pursue a more appropriate relationship with Jacob Black and to try to re-kindle some normal friendships with her schoolmates. However the reprieve from Edward is all too short. From that point on, I found myself disliking Bella and all of her melodrama more and more with each page of this book.

  • I was devastated when Edward left Bella, not leaving a trace of the Cullen’s existence. I was distraught to see that Bella slipped into her zombie like state, not talking to anyone, not eating, not even remembering the months that passed by when she snapped out of her daze.

    I was devastated when Edward left Bella, not leaving a trace of the Cullen’s existence. I was distraught to see that Bella slipped into her zombie like state, not talking to anyone, not eating, not even remembering the months that passed by when she snapped out of her daze. Jacob is a nice boy & makes a great friend always watching her back, but I prefer Edward. I hope things will stay strictly platonic between them, & maybe Edward will turn Bella one day. Although I must wonder what will become of Bella & Jacobs friendship if she does become a true member of the Cullen family.

  • At the risk of sounding as deranged as Edward finds Bella, I'd really love to jump into this book and have a go at being Bella. These stories definitely swallow you up like only a truly great book can. And while I have a lot of books I love and have read over and over, I can't really think of the la ... Continue

    At the risk of sounding as deranged as Edward finds Bella, I'd really love to jump into this book and have a go at being Bella. These stories definitely swallow you up like only a truly great book can. And while I have a lot of books I love and have read over and over, I can't really think of the last one that had this kind of effect on me. (Discounting Twilight, since it's still the same story.) Stephenie Meyer may be claiming her own Revered Author Shelf in my room!

  • I found this to be the hardest one to read. When Edward leaves Bella and she is so lost for so long...it's heart wrenching. And it makes the book move slowly. It is nice to see and learn more about Jacob.

  • Sequals Just Aren't As Good...

  • This isn't as good as Twilight, but I had to read it in order to read the last two! But you really should read it just to get an understanding of what Bella is going through in the next two books.

  • Second in the series

  • Okay, I have to be honest - the first half of this book was really rough - depressing, and not much action. But I loved Twilight and was determined to follow through. At almost exactly half way, something happens and suddenly the book is more interesting. I LOVED the second half. So, two stars f ... Continue

    Okay, I have to be honest - the first half of this book was really rough - depressing, and not much action. But I loved Twilight and was determined to follow through. At almost exactly half way, something happens and suddenly the book is more interesting. I LOVED the second half. So, two stars for the first half, four for the second.
