Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Decent-ish.No real point in going into depth over this one. The motivations are stupid, the characters stagnant (with one blazing exception - more on that in a minute.) Bella-as-everygirl-1st-person-narrator worked in the first book, when it was all about discovery. Now that the jig is up, though, she comes across as boring, petulant and self-obsessed, and only slightly outdistanced in those stakes by the hallowed Edward. The reason I gave it as high a rating as I did is a.) it's still compulsive reading, even if it is literary junk-food and b.) Jacob Black. Ah, Jacob Black. A very wise (and well-known) author once told me that if a minor character starts speaking to you, you should do a U-turn and go with it. I wish Meyer had done that here. ... Read More: Rating: - Teenage Bites, Werewolves and RomanceThe second novel in this imaginative reworking of the vampire fable set amongst the woods of Washington State. Unllike its predecessor, this novel moves away from the pressures of fitting in to high school and explores the response to rejected loves and the breakup of passionate relationships. We see the world through the eyes of Bella Swann, a girl who has lost the love of her life and will risk her own to recover what she has lost. The book explores movingly her feelings of suicicidal desperation and rejection and show how she reaches out for comfort and companionship. Tied in with this emotional journey is a supernatural yarn which matches werewolves against vampires and which contrasts the human characteristics of both species. ... Read More: Rating: - Old Theme With New Energy and TwistsReality takes some strange bends around the small rural town near the ocean where Bella, an eighteen year old senior in high school, lives with her father, Charlie, a sheriff. Bella finds herself caught between the world of vampires and a significant other among them and a world of Indian legends come to life. The conflicts and drama do create many moments of frightful suspense, and teenage love takes new twists. Bella narrates the story and much of the book is devoted in quite an effective fashion to her emotional responses to events. More details would ruin the plot, so get the book for those. It's a fun read.Translator's Kiss Rating:  - DisappointedWhen I read Twilight, I loved it so much; I was really excited about readig the sequel. But when I did manage to read it, this book, I was really disappointed. I found most of it quite dull and as I read more of it, it got worse. Sorry, but this book is lucky I gave it two stars. Rating: - Book Two of the Twilight SeriesTwilight left us knowing that Edward and Bella were together and in love, and all that malarky. New Moon starts off with more of the same. But as their relationship deepens, and they begin to consider their future together, things start to fall apart. They realise that things between them will never be simple. They have more than just themselves to think about. Things start to kick off when Edward and the rest of the Cullens leave Forks, rendering Bella completely heartbroken. Having told her he no longer wants to be with her, he disappears. Bella completely falls to pieces, much to the despair of her father, Charlie. She sinks deeper and deeper into her own little world, and feels she can't go on without Edward. Things eventually ... Read More: |
