A review by marite_
New Moon by Stephenie Meyer
3.75
I wouldn't say that I was disappointed in the book, I knew exactly what the story would be like (thanks to the movie). I guess it just wasn't really to my taste - the pacing and the mood, although I completely understood both how Edward and Bella were feeling throughout the book. The whole book was just plain depressing without Edward.
I guess Bella herself just isn't compelling enough of a main character to carry the books without Edward & the Cullens who are just as, if not more, important to the story.
I liked how Bella was written and how her pain - of having 3/4 of her life and her future ripped away from her - I related to that and empathized with her. By the end of the book I was just as happy as Bella was when she reunited with Edward and the relief was big.
I just felt that perhaps 1/3 of the book dragged too much, just a lot of pain, anger, confusion.
