I have now read through the entire series and will be publishing reviews for the other two books very soon.
Spoilers ahead

I actually liked this one much better than Twilight, probably because it was better written. In fact, my favorites of the four were New Moon and Eclipse. I didn’t mind at all that Edward wasn’t in New Moon very much and was even half rooting for Jacob. It was fun to find out Jacob’s story as well. And although some readers felt that Bella’s grief was way over the top, I didn’t. Teenage love and loss– heck, adult love and loss– is very painful. Sometimes excruciatingly.
I’m excited for the movie to come out. I’ve seen some of the sneak previews from Comic Con and they look great. I’m also looking forward to seeing Dakota Fanning play Jane.
You know, I haven’t gone through chunks of books like this for a long time, and I must say I’ve missed it.
2006, 608 pp.
[Disclosure: This book was not received from the publisher. It's hard to admit, but I actually purchased a copy.]
At the time New Moon depressed me but after reading the entire series it is now my second favorite.
I had a hard time getting into this one but I did read it in the end. I am not sure I was a huge fan of Jacob…
Oh oh… you’re not Team Jacob are you??? Hahaha just kidding. I’m glad you liked it! It was a tough read, remembering that heartache, but that’s what made it so great.
I enjoyed New Moon, too–I have to say I was also pulling for Jacob in this one
Looking forward to the rest of your reviews!
I need to get to this one very soon!
I’m the same as you. I actually preferred New Moon to Twilight and think it was probably because the vampires weren’t in it as much. I prefer the werewolves’ story. I’ve just finished reading Eclipse for the first time.
Go team Jacob! Well, until the last book anyway! LOL!
