New Moon (~)

I finished the 2nd book in the Twilight Saga. New Moon by Stephenie Meyers. Surprisingly enough, I actually liked this one better than the 1st.  I don't know whether it's because there was less mushy stuff in it than the first or whether Stephenie Meyers writing has gotten better (which is probably doubtful). I'm not saying that I loved this book, and would save it in my bookshelf, and re-read it hundreds of times; all I'm saying is that it was better than the first. Definitely not worth saving on my bookshelf though.

So basically, this book was about how Edward left Bella because he didn't think it was safe that he was around her so much. Bella goes into depression, and the only way that she was pulled out of said depression was by a guy named Jacob, who incidentally becomes a werewolf, and incidentally the werewolves and vampires are enemies, so once Edward comes back (after Bella saves him from committing suicide) Bella can't see her best friend. Oh, and now Bella has 4 other problems: another evil vampire is 'tracking her', an evil vampire family that is considered royalty will kill her if she doesn't become a vampire by the next time they see her, her father has grounded her for what seems like life, oh and if Edward's family bites her on the neck to turn her into a vampire, the werewolves (who just happen to be indians) will hunt them down and kill them, Bella included because of a treaty that Edward's family signed. What a conundrum!  Just seems like one thing after another, and honestly, it's a little tiring hearing Bella whine in the book about how she has so much going on in her life. SHE BROUGHT IT ON HERSELF, GODDAMNIT!

Anyway, enough ranting about this series...Now onward to the 3rd book: Eclipse.

Until then, Happy Reading!
