I liked it. It wasn't as good as Twilight, but I still thought it was good. I can understand how its somewhat vital to the upcoming books and after that birthday incedent, the whole Cullen family going away was sort of predicted in a away (especially with Edward's reaction). Of course Bella would sulk because of this whole thing..its normal for people to go through that..and Bella and Edward being away from each other, it happens with/to a lot with people/couples..though, probably in not as long a period of time. I also think Bella's character has developed a lot since Twilight..she's not as soft-spoken as before. But then again, I'm a lot like Bella xp
And I can't wait for Eclipse xDD!

Well, New Moon wasn't quite as good as Twilight plot-wise, but the ending was definitely more fulfililng--well, the climax rather, was more interesting. But the two-thirds or more of Bella moping and groaning and complaining and using Jacob were just blah. Boring. The climax was awesome though. And Jacob turning into a werewolf made it a bit more cliche, like it's starting to diverge from the plausible into more of a fantasy-based genre book.

I enjoyed it, but then again, I'm a Jacob fan.
I figure we'll get Edward fix. I think it was needed to get the story to go on.

My thoughts on the characters
Twilight
-Bella -Typical teenager, but not a normal life. Good character.
-Edward -One of my favourite characters, good character.
-Jake -A bit of a wedge between Bella and Ed, but I still liked him, and felt a bit sorry for him. Overall, good character.
New Moon
-Bella -Still a good character, but a little boring, because she was too depressed...
-Edward -I thought he was a little... a little meaner than the first book. Yeah, it was for Bella's own good, but I'm not talking about that.... I think he changed a bit for the worse from Twilight. But he's still a great character. Maybe a little too good...
-Jake -He became my favourite character. I was all for him rather than Edward...(don't murder me,o.o) He was so nice and everything...
I don't know, they're my opinions.
@--Foxiego-- I agree about how it lost it's reality factor...

I don't know.
I had a feeling I would detest New Moon sooner or later, but to my own surprise, I didn't.
~sighs deeply~ There is just so much to say about those two books, in comparison, you know.
I liked New Moon. Twilight is still more appealing to me, because I'm a hopeless sucker for romance, and Twilight had plenty of that.
But I can't say I don't like New Moon. It has a lot of feeling to it. It made me cry for almost all the time I was reading it.
The beginning of New Moon was weird to me; I don't know about other people, but... I couldn't quite explain it clearly. From the very beginning, it was like I could sense there was something changed, something wrong. I don't know. xp
The middle was boring, I must admit. sweatdrop
But I have my own reasons for that. I was frustrated. Frustrated that Jacob was the one that had to be there for Bella when she needed support the most, and not Edward. I was mad at Edward, and because of that, I ended up not liking Jacob for a while.
Of course, I have nothing against him - I admire such niceness, and loveability (is that even a word? xd Well, it is now sweatdrop ), and the intensity that he liked Bella, and he wanted to protect her.
I was somehow very connected to Bella throughout the whole book. Maybe that's why I didn't detest it. I could feel what she felt. Eventually, I started to feel a little soothed when Jacob was around too.
And when she said "I'd forgotten how much I really liked Jacob Black.", I remembered too. I liked him in the first book. It was just the shock of Edward leaving that made me forget that detail for a while. It made me forget about Jacob altogether.
Now, when Jacob turned into a werewolf... I must admit, I didn't like it very much. Maybe I didn't like it at all.
In my mind, his image had changed so much, and it just kept changing more and more, that it seemed like he was a completely different person - the Jacob I knew was nowhere to be found.
Anyways, I was so eager to have Edward back - the pain of having him away was so strong - that I ended up reading the book in a rush, 13 hours spent reading, with little breaks, only to sleep, eat, and few things like that. (I also came to this guild a lot during my depression throughout the book sweatdrop )
I was surprised to realize it didn't feel like only 13 hours at all - it felt like eight months. eek The most horrible eight months of my life... crying
As I said before, Twilight has the romance I love so much, it got me thrilled, it got me excited, and giggling for no reason - but New Moon has the emotion, the pain. It made me cry, and hurt, and kind of want to be dead too. Kind of like two extremes, if you know what I mean.
I think New Moon, as painful as it was (and sort of boring too, in the middle, with the whole plot-less scenes), was needed for the course of the story.
It showed how Edward and Bella truly belong together. Nothing will come in the way of their feelings again. And now, hopefully, Edward also knows better.
I understand that Bella wasn't mad at Edward at the end of the book - I wasn't either. The pain of having him away, and the relief of finally having him there again, was so big, so strong. There was no room for rage. There never is room for rage when it's about Edward.
Also, I kind of think that the end of the book made up for the middle of it. I have to admit, it was kind of hard to believe all that, Italy, and Volterra, and the Volturi, and all that, when everything was going so fast. But it was thrilling, exciting - I could barely sit still while reading.
My relief, my happiness was so huge, to have Edward back. I don't think I could compare that feeling to the feeling I got with Twilight.
The fact of having him away for so long made his return a hundred times sweeter. 3nodding
Well ~sighs~ I guess I'm done with my review. sweatdrop
I hope people understand what I wanted to say. sweatdrop
