Every time I read this book, I cry because it is so depressing! But if you ask me, the book is unbelievable if if the protagonist's emotions are passed on to the reader.

New Moon is a lot less then a fairy tale because bad stuff happens; Bella goes crazy because "the guy" leaves. Edward leaving the story line made the book sad, depressing and not as interesting as the first, in my opinion.

People often call this book the boring one in the series because nothing really happens. I agree with that to an extent. Many exciting things happen, but this book is just so full of emotion that you don't really get the full impact of how close Bella gets to dying.

The ending is what makes the book amazing. Nothing too important happens in the rest of this book, but the ending is unbelievable. It's full of suspense and romance.

However, I don't like depressing books, which made me not like this one as much as the first, but this one was very well written and their is not as many grammar/spelling mistakes in this on as in the first

Twilight (Stephenie Meyer)

When Bella Swan moves to Forks to live with her dad, she has very low expectations for her stay. But on her first day of school, that all changes.

The Cullen's have only been living on Forks for two years and they stand out, not because they are adopted, but because they all look like airbrushed models on magazines.

Bella is immediately drawn to the youngest Cullen- Edward- the only one who is not dating anyone, but it does not take her long to realize he is not a normal seventeen year old.

Edward has never been in love, but when he firsts meets her in Biology class, he is instantly drawn to her because of how his "talent" does not work on her.

With everything against them and a secret that will complicated their lives forever, could they ever have a happily ever after?

This is my favorite book in the entire universe. I can't even guess to how many times I have read it. This was the book that made me love reading, and for that single reason it will always be my favorite book.

The book is a love story and if you don't like romance books you’re not going to like this one. But it’s more than a love story and everyone should read the books before thinking they are dumb. The movies are awesome, but don't due this book its justice, so please at least give Twilight a chance.

Setting and characterization are the main focuses of this book. The setting is the platform, but the characters just leap off the page. Whenever I read this book I always feel like I'm in Forks living in a fairy tale. I never feel quite right and I never feel like I'm in my life, I feel like I am Bella.

Bella is a very average character and there is not much to her. But everyone can relate to one of her traits and then can climb into her world and never let go of it. Nobody can be related to Edward, which makes the story feel like a fairytale.

But this story is not a fairy tale. There is blood and gore and should not be read to children. I believe the supernatural side to this book is the thing making it an amazing, teenager book.

The appellee to this book is the forbidden love, modern fairy tale with a bite of science fiction. There is something in this book for everyone.

This book was a good book....for adults.

I found this book super boring. I couldn't relate to any part of any of the characters lives. The characters were interesting. Just totally unrateable.

I really did not like all the religious stuff in the book. I don't think anyone would move into a house and practise their religion almost right away. It was weird.

The time line of this book was interesting. Black people had rights, but white people did not like them. I really found it interesting.

Their was lots of conflict, symbolism and imagery, but no suspense. I knew the ending of this book about half way though. It was extremely predictable.

However, the book was still good. It was not a suspenseful book, it was a book about conflict. Personally, I like suspenseful books better, but that's just me.
