Book of the Day: New Moon

I wrote in an earlier post about The Twilight Series by tween author Stephanie Meyer. I was absolutely blown away by the first installment, Twilight. I drove 20 minutes out of the way to borrow the second book New Moon to take on our weekend trip. I read it throughout the weekend and finished it before we were barely on the way home.

Yes, this book is a continuation of the first which thrills me more than you know. However, I was quite underwhelmed in the turn of events. I loved the love story behind Bella and Edward, but what had me hooked was the adventure that seems to follow Bella everywhere she goes. This book starts out strong then it turned and spent most of its time focused on the relationships surrounding Bella... gasp... BORING! Now, there was plenty of action, but it just wasn't the same.

I would give this book 3 out of 5 stars Ed McMahon. I will be reading (with a little less enthusiasm) the third book Eclipse. Go ahead check out the series yourself and let me know what you think!
