Love the whole serious, however I know many kids in elementary school who have seen the movie and I do not think its appropriate for them AT ALL. Parents need to pay attention!

best book out of the saga! This deals with the loss of romance and how sometimes its hard to cope with the situation.. and way more intense and action packed compared to the first/.

New moon
I love it , but some of the scences are too grown for children under 17+

Just read it.. matter of fact.. read all four books!
I loved this book. It is very on point with the way teenagers over react to break ups and regular high school drama with a touch of the supernatural to make it interesting. A great bit of fun!

Entertaining action--but not great role models for teens
I'm an adult and I enjoyed this--but keep in mind I'm a Harry Potter fan. I like the fantasy and mythical creatures. The love triangle is a bad example of what you should do at any age. At least there is some remorse on the part of Bella. And her attitude is a bit annoying--but then maybe that's the Mom in me coming out!

From the 4 books , this one is actually okay written, Jacob is the only character that comes as real on this series, But like I said anti-feminist all over again. Bella needs Edward's permision to see Jacob, even though he is her best friend, she is still lying to her dad, and does not care at all about her friends at school. This books have no morals, or real friendship. The only chapter I liked was about Jasper and Not Bella and Edward. At least Jasper and Alice can keep to each other.

again this series is way too anti-feminist, Romance shouldn't be about killing yourself. Bella tries to kill herself becuase she feels bad, we all feel bad at some point, but the brave ones stand up to life, the cowards, try to jump off a clif. Also Bella needs protection from Men, either Edward or Jacob she is a Mary sue. Meyer is a horrible writter

Horrible role models, fans and characters alike
Bella can't live without a man. I'll leave it at that, and just say that while this book can be enjoyable, it should not be read by impressionable minds. The fans of this series can get crazy - so don't take your kid to a midnight premier of anything, because people have been nearly crushed to death by "Twi-hards."

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.

Not good
This book was sort of boring. Though I was glad to see some independence in Bella - she's such a bad role model... and not a very interesting character... weak.

great love story
I didn't think the common sense review was hardly fair for this, because it's not just about a seventeen year old who is in love with a vampire. And it's not over long either in fact after you or your child read this your going to be wishing it was longer. And parents do your kid a favor and let them read this. there is no language or anything else bad for that matter. I haven't seen a person who has read it, and it's not there favorite series.
- I rate this title iffy for age 17 and give it
So while I absolutely was entranced by the first book, the second was a disappointment. There was a lot of language, and especially from a Mormon author, I was shocked that she would include such language on a book especially geared and targeting the younger readers. My 12 year old sister loved the first book. After reading it, and loving it, despite the quite passionate exploits of teenage love, the second I approached with caution. I told my sister I would read it before her and see how appropriate for a 12 year old. Needless to say, the language alone kept me from giving my sister my approval. Along with the ever so melancholy and depressing mind of Bella after Edward leaves, it is definietly not an uplifting piece of literature. I step lightly as I even dare to think of reading the next. My sister, however, I consider saved from an exposure to such a dark, tactless piece of fiction.

Love the Series
i loved the book new moon. You cant stop reading, i couldnt put the book down. The only part i didnt really like was the fct that Edward leaves for so long. He pretty much the best part of the book and hes gone for over half of it but the ending makes up for it. Its very creativie and theres some action to wich i loved!!!

Least favorite of the 3
This was my least favorite of the Twilight series...BUT an important part of the story that is necessary to lead into "Eclipse'. I still really enjoyed this book. I would let my kids read this, but i know what my kids can handle.

Can be slow at parts, but overall a great book
Although this book was very good, i do however have to say that this was one of those books that took a lot of effort to finish. Not because it was bad or anything, but because (and dont worry, im not giving anything away here, its on the back cover of the book) Edward leaves Bella, leaving there many chapters without any intimate events. Although this is true, i would still recomend reading it so that the rest of the series makes sense to you and because this book is better than many others i have read in the past.

i think it is a TERRIFIC book i love shephanie meyer's writing!
- I rate this title on for age 12 and give it
i read all the other books very quickly but this one took me the longest...it was very hard to get through because it was so depressing in the beginning ( some reckless behavior from Bella after Eduard leaves her but besides that oh and a little violence... it is a vampire novel after all it is an amazing book and i encourage everyone to read it)

Great for teens, but iffy for tweens
I just love the whole Twilight series! I read them when I was 12, and I don't think that kids should really be any younger than that because they would appreciate it more when they are older. Great book, it almost made me crey at one point

i hate twinlight,is too pacific to a vampire movieand book(but i don't think those things are vampires i think they are aliens)

Suckish story with lame morals
Bella gets depressed when her (sparkly) boyfriend leaves her. She's like a black hole. Bella does dangerous things because she can hear Edward's voice inside her head. When there's a possibility that Edward can come back, Bella completely dumps Jacob.
- I rate this title on for age 11 and give it
over all a good book
Bella falls into a depression. Jacob brings her out of it and is my favorite person in the saga. My favorite book in the saga.A very good book.

Twilight is great but do not like the characters
Love the saga but really do not like the characters. None of the characters in this series are very human at all, they are all not very well thought through, and very perfect with set ideas. The characters are not relatable. Edward is so selfless and perfect that through the saga he just gets really annoying nad the same oes for bella who is revealed to be not so selfless and infact very self involved.

"New Moon" the best
Definitely the best book out of the saga. The book is about the love, loss, and friendship that Bella encounters and i think that if you were going to decide to read just one of the Twilight books, it should be New Moon.

New Moon book review
The book New Moon by Stephanie Meyer is a great book for those who want to read an exciting story. Bella and Edward first met in the first book, Twilight. They become good friends until Edward and his family move away due to their secret. Bella goes through many obstacles with her new friend, Jacob, after Edward leaves. when Bella comes home one day to find a familiar face inside her houes, things suddenly pick up in the story and Bella ends up going to Italy. I thought this book was good. Towards the beginning it was slow. The middle was okay and th end really picked up to the point where I couldn't put it down. New Moon answered many of my questions after I finished reading the first book in the saga.

WORST TWILIGHT BOOK EVER!
WORST TWILIGHT BOOK EVER! OK so I read the first book and I was hooked, expecting something better, and then Smeyer writes New Moon. An epic-fail of a novel! The Volturi are the only cool vampires because they actully kill people! Just horrible!
