New Moon (Twilight #2) - 89 points



Title: New Moon
Series Info: Twilight #2
Author: Stephanie Meyer
For Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. But being in love with a vampire is even more dangerous than Bella ever could have imagined. Edward has already rescued Bella from the clutches of one evil vampire, but now, as their daring relationship threatens all that is near and dear to them, they realize their troubles may be just beginning....

Legions of readers entranced by New York Times bestseller Twilight are hungry for the continuing story of star-crossed lovers Bella and Edward. In New Moon, Stephenie Meyer delivers another irresistible combination of romance and suspense with a supernatural spin. Passionate, riveting, and full of surprising twists and turns, this vampire love saga is well on its way to literary immortality.
4 HEARTS!

POINT BREAKDOWN

Plot: 40 points

**SPOILER** I didn't really like that Edward left Bella for a time, and she was going insane. Ugh!

(The rest of the notes below are the same as the first book)
Characters: 15 points

What’s not to like about Bella, Edward, and Jacob? They’re all gorgeous and swoon worthy. The Cullen’s’ are all charming, the Indians/Werewolves are good rivals (I think Meyers does a good job with the rivalry, by the way), and all-in-all, all the characters were well developed. Bella and Edward have a beautiful love story!

Names of characters: 4 points

I didn’t have any problems with the names of the characters, which is why I still wanted to give this area 4 points, it’s just that none of the character names particularly stood out as being cute or sensual, and that’s something I look for and want in romance books. 

Writing/Depth: 30 points

Meyers is really good in this area! I like to feel fully engaged when I read a book and I want to be able to understand and feel emotions within it as if they were my own. Meyers does a great job at doing that! The scenes were well written, and I felt like I could understand everything Bella was going through. That's pretty good for someone who has never fell in love with a vampire! LOL. Good job Meyers!
 

TOTAL: 89 POINTS
