Advantages: A great read, more character development Disadvantages: You wont be able to put it down
Newmoon is the second of the 4 books in Stephanie Meyers "twilight" series. After having reviewed the first book, I thought I would review the second, as I am in the process of reading through the series, yet again.
I would like to say this review will not contain any spoilers, I will try my best to not give too much away, but it's hard not to mention anything about it.
In NewMoon we join Bella (a 17 year old girl) and Edward Cullen (108 year old vampire) in the month of September after a blissful summer they have spent together after the end of the first book.
At Bella's birthday party, she gets a paper cut and the results cement in Edwards mind that Bella would be better off and safer not sharing her life with a family of vampires who attempt to resist human blood and so the Cullen's leave town.
Now this book is a lot darker ...
Advantages: Good paced read, great storyline Disadvantages: None to think of

It all happened very quickly then.
?No!? Edward roared... Dazed and disoriented, I looked up from the bright red blood pulsing out of my arm ? into the fevered eyes of the six suddenly ravenous vampires.
For Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. But being in love ...
Advantages: Very wel developed characters Disadvantages: Quite slow to start, too obviously going to be a sequel
Having read Twilight by Stephanie Meyer and really enjoying it, I decided to give NewMoon, the second of her 4-book series, a go.
As with the Twilight book, the cover is very attractive. On this book is a wilting flower, with beautiful red, white and pink petals, set against matt black. The back cover didn't give away too much this time (for anyone who didn't read my review of Twilight, it did and this irritated me), but it didn't disclose any important secrets, or in fact much of the story.
NewMoon is just under 500 pages. It doesn't feel like a long book when you're reading it which I feel shows how much of a riveting read it is. I know that these books are mainly aimed at teenagers, and had the books not become fashionable reads I would have expected the sheer number of pages to put off some (this is based on my knowing ...
