What Parents Need to Know
About New Moon: The Twilight Saga, Book 2
Parents need to know that, while very mild by the standards of its genre, this is a vampire romance, so there is talk about blood and romantic kissing.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the view of vampirism here. It sounds like a one-way ticket to superhero powers -- what's the downside? Why is Edward reluctant to let Bella become one? Why, aside from her love for Edward, might Bella want it? Bella's misery and self-destructive behaviors after Edward leaves are pretty over the top. How can one deal with the end of a relationship without falling apart?

Amazing but not suitable for children under 13
LOVE IT. So addictive. Read it in 24 hours, during this time I also slept and had school. Altough i love Bella's character through her the message is given across that without a man live is not worth living. Or that a guy is more important than anything else. The way Bella deals with her grief could also be rather alarming to younger readers. However the true love that is highlighted in the book is beautiful. Overall its amazing.

I had a hard time getting through the book after edward left, but in time I'm glad I did. The book is great, stephanie meyer is fantastic, but I have to say I'm NOT looking foward to the movie.

simply wonderful
I loved the twilight movie, so I knew that I would love the book New Moon. I don't think I have ever been aching to pick a book up, this was different I couldn't hardly get anything else done. Bella is selfish in a very understanding way. it just makes every other book to follow much more interesting.
