Book: New Moon
Author: Stephenie Meyer
Category: Fiction, YA Fantasy/Romance)
In her usual clumsy fashion, Bella gets a paper cut whilst opening a birthday present in front of the Cullen family. As such, Edward had to defend her from the most of the family who suddenly seemed ravenous for her blood. Due to this event, the Cullens decide to leave Forks, which left Bella in a massively deep depression. She then developed a friendship with Jacob Black and worked up an appetite for dangerous activities. Jacob turned out to be another boy who's "not good for her", as he happens to carry the werewolf gene. Due to Bella's daredevil tactics, Edward was led to believe that she died - and so wished to kill himself too by seeking the Volturi (a powerful vampire family in Italy).
Review: Still with the same mix of great and utterly terrible, New Moon continued to make me want to scream and sigh at the same time. But, it lost some of the first book's initial attraction for me. And yes, it just makes me wonder: How can something so good get so bad (or is it the other way around)? In any case, I'm a Twilight quasi-convert now, for better or for worse. ;-)
