Book Review: New Moon by Stephenie Meyer

Posted: Jul 19, 2010 |

The success of the first novel in the series, Twilight, ensured that the protagonist of the book was recognized throughout the world and Stephenie Meyer herself won the hearts of numerous readers all over the world. New Moon is the second installment of the series, which dragged the fans to the bookstores in droves. The point where the first story was left by the author, right after that the male lead of New Moon, Edwards decides that the only way to ensure the safety of Bella is to leave her, but when he leaves, he does so without a good bye, and he only tells her he doesn't want her anymore.

Nights Full Of Nightmares

Bella feels devastated and is in pieces because she has lost the only love of her life. To keep the pain at bay, she turns to Jacob Black. Her nights are now full of nightmares, and she feels the emptiness every day. She also indulges in dangerous pastimes so that she may hold on to the memories of Edward.

Feel the Pain of Bella

The author Stephenie Meyer makes sure the readers go through the pain of female lead Bella and empathize with her also. She also feels comfort in the friendship with Jacob Black. New Moon becomes exciting and emotionally intense due to return of the determined Victoria and addition of Valturri and wolves. The author Stephenie Meyer is extremely good at tying the loose ends at the end though she leaves just enough interesting bits left so the readers would wait anxiously for the next book in the series.

The Movie and Book Versions Are True To Each Other

There are many details in the book which couldn't be included in the movie, though New Moon book and movie versions are truer to each other compared to the book and movie versions of Twilight. Most of the sentences of the characters stay close in both versions. As a whole, the book has a broody feel about it, and it captures the angst of its teenage characters very well. The story of New Moon moves slower than that of Twilight, and the changes in the small town Forks are somewhat disturbing both to Bella and to the readers. Still, there is enough action and romance so you may keep turning the pages.

Higher Suspense and Adventure Quotient

The suspense and adventure quotient in the book is higher than Twilight, due to the extraordinary life of Bella and her friends. The plot becomes more complicated as the new characters enter the picture and they add intrigue into the story. The intense emotions of the teenagers are also depicted realistically. Compared to Twilight, the story of New Moon, however moves slowly and many areas of the story are predictable.

    iBoy by Kevin Brooks is much more than just a tale of grit or a new action hero (another thing common, the hero can't reveal himself to the girl he loves). To enjoy the book, however, you'll have to excuse use of few sloppy words such as enervated or frequently occurring swearing throughout the book.
