New Moon by Stephanie Meyer
Not as good as Twilight, though it was an even faster read if such a thing is possible. I did 500+ pages in under 24 hours. Not much brain chewing going on. The trouble with New Moon is that it didn’t have enough Edward. I don’t have the antipathy for the protagonist that some people have, but she is a teenaged girl. In other words: the least interesting thing on earth. The backup love–werewolf Jake–is pretty hot too, but she’s not biting (ha ha). Overall this book has the feeling of a setup for books to come. The plot must advance.
I wonder, and perhaps Meyer will get to this, if Edward will still love Bella when she stops smelling so good, i.e. becomes a vampire too. Why doesn’t Bella worry about this?
