New Moon (The Twilight Saga, Book 2) Review

The only reason I began reading this book series is my 13 year old daughter wanted them for her birthday, when a teenager asks for books for her birthday I had to see what they were about! 

I finished Twilight in a day, but  New Moon (as many reviewers point out) was not as great, so it took me about a week.  I began to skip over chapters in anticipation of Edward's return, but my sweet daughter encouraged me to read the entire book, so I did as I was told.

Stephenie Meyers is very adept at storytelling, the reader cannot help but feel all of Bella's emotions from the highest elation of being in love to the lowest levels of despair from a broken heart.  Although many plot twists are evident well in advance, Ms. Meyer will still throw an unforseen twist in every now and then to keep the reader's attention.

I highly recommend these books to readers from 12 years old to adult.  I appreciate the lack of vulgar language, only the insuation of graphic violence and while sex is eluded to, it is taboo for this couple and therefore not an issue for parental concern.
