This book was a little harder to get through then Twilight. I found myself losing focus on the book as there were many parts that dragged. At times I felt the author could have easily cut off 100-150 pages and we wouldn't have missed a thing. Ok read, but definitely not as good as the first one.

The author was really brave, removing one of the primary characters away from the book for 400 pages. I liked the book, it was very different. he description of what ones goes through when one loses someone he or she loves is very accurate; I could identify with it. I also liked the development of the werewolves/shape shifters.
However, I did feel that when Edward and Bella finally meet, it was kind of as if they immediately got back to where they were. There was no awkwardness, no hurt feelings. All was forgiven, and immediately.
What I would have really liked (to make it 5 stars) was a recount of what Edward went through, both emotionally, as well as in his daily life in the period he disappears from Bella's life. Maybe Stephanie can write a 'Midnight Moon' as well as a 'Midnight Sun'!!!

***If you haven't read this book yet, skip this review as there is a bit of spoilers in it***
I did like this book, but I wanted more of Edward and Bella, that is what hooked me on the series...what I ultimately thought it was centered around. It was really sad when Edward left.....but I just "knew" he would be back. What I did NOT expect was that he would be gone for the majority of the book. Because Edward is the favorite character for me, I was disappointed. It was a good read, and I was ecstatic when Edward was reintroduced. Edward is the draw for me in these books and without him it was just....well...not Twilight.... I just found it strange for Stephenie Meyer to write this beautiful love story between Edward and Bella in the first novel, only to almost delete him from the second installment. I can see what she was doing, but I was disappointed. I gave this 3 stars because in the end, she did redeem herself by bringing Edward and the rest of the Cullens back.

The Twilight saga was never on my reading list until I heard about it from a friend, who said my youngest daughter would like to read it. By that time I had seen a movie clip about the first book, Twilight. The clip I saw was very good and got me thinking about the book. I have read all the books and I very much enjoyed them all! I don't think they are solely for the young teen girls, I believe they are for all ages! I am a 44 year old female, and I am addicted to them all I can't wait for the next movie New Moon.

I finished reading New Moon only about 48 hours after I read Twilight, as I found both books quite consuming. My review does contain spoilers, be warned.
Twilight opens with Bella's 18th birthday party and quickly segues into a tale of desolate heartbreak as her vampire boyfriend, Edward, chooses to leave her "for her own good." With Edward and his family gone, with no lingering hope of their return, Bella spirals into a profound depression for most of the book. Many reviewers have noted that Bella's character seems weak in her despair over losing "a boyfriend" and lament that she lacks many qualities of a strong young woman. It seems to me that the point of the heavy romance in Twilight was to set up a context in which Bella's destruction in New Moon would be understandable. Edward was not her "boyfriend," but her true love. Their lives and hearts are twined together in a way that cannot be gotten over when the two separate. Bella describes feeling physically pulled ...
