A New Moon, Followed By An Eclipse

via

I am little behind in my Twilight Saga updates, so here goes it….

I finished New Moon in January and while it wasn’t as good as Twilight, I have to say that I really enjoyed it. I loved it especially because Romeo & Juliet (star crossed lovers anyone?)played a minor role in this novel (hint, Romeo + Juliet + Paris = Trouble). This book was darker, and had some serious emotions that many people experience with heartache. Jacob became a major player in this novel, and I saw a side of Bella that I had seen before, which I have to say I kind of liked.

I am curious to those who have read New Moon, did you like Jacob after finishing this book or did you think he was annoying? I personally like his character a lot, but am finding that I am one of the few who likes him.

After finishing New Moon I rushed out to Target to purchase Eclipse (my first hardback of the series). A bit bulkier and harder to tote around, I began reading this novel with enthusiasm. Sadly, I didn’t really enjoy this book until the last 150 pages. I thought it was slow moving, uneventful, and boring. Luckily for me, Stephenie Meyers pulled it together and ended the novel with an action packed battle, and questions that left me begging for more (and I hope are answered in the final novel Breaking Dawn). Also interesting, is that in Eclipse, the novel Wuthering Heights came into play a lot…kind of makes me want to rush out and read it when this Twilight madness is over (one of the many classics I have never read for some strange reason).

Vampire Lovers….what did you think of New Moon versus Eclipse? Have you seen the Twilight movie? What did you think? I am anxiously awaiting its release on DVD March 21st. Although I have heard mixed reviews about the film itself, I have been told that I will fall head over heels in love with Edward…

On to the finale....Breaking Dawn
