New Moon

Meyer, Stephanie. New Moon. NY: Little Brown and Company, 2006. 563 pages. (Fantasy Series / Vampires)

New Moon is on the best seller list because of its author, Stephanie Meyer. Isabella (Bella) Swan and Edward Cullen are in love. Unfortunately, Edward and his family are vampires. So he thinks it would be safer for Bella if he leaves his hometown, Forks, Washington, and leave Bella alone forever. Except that’s not the case. Because Bella is so upset about Edward leaving, she doesn’t do anything accept mope around. Then she starts hanging out with Jacob Black. This is bad for Bella because he turns into a werewolf. Then Edward’s sister, Alice, comes back to see Bella. She can see into the future as an extra sense, and sees Edward killing himself in Italy. Edward is so upset because Alice told him Bella went cliff diving, and he thought she tried to commit suicide. Edward is half way around the world, and he doesn’t have his phone. How will Bella and Alice stop him? Will it be too late?

I personally loved this book. It’s one of my favorites. I recommend New Moon to anyone who enjoys vampires, werewolves, action, and of course, romance. I think I’m most like the character Alice (Edward’s sister.) I think I’m most like her because she’s independent, she’s loving and caring, and is not afraid to stick up for herself. This is a book you could talk about with your parents because it is appropriate for teenagers, but probably not for little kids, age of 10 and under. It is more for teenager’s because it does have some foul language, but not a lot. It talks about things that have to deal with love and things that little kids might get scared of because of the vampires. My opinion is it is a good book, and you have to read it to find out what happens with Edward and Bella and all the family. Most importantly, what happens in Italy?
