Meghan's Review of "New Moon"

Honestly, I finished this book last week and can't really remember what happened in it! That's so sad. Anyway, I guess I have the same gripes about this one as I did the first.

I really like Jacob but I don't like the way Bella treats him and how she wants him for herself even though she doesn't have romantic feelings for him. I think she is just being selfish, really. I did like that there was more action in this one, except for the fact that Edward acts like he could care less about Bella when he leaves and then the second he thinks she's dead, he runs off to get himself killed too. Couldn't he have waited a few days to make sure what Rosalie told him was true? But I guess that's just the nature of these books.

From the beginning of this book I thought she was going to be completely self absorbed with Edward gone, but I'm glad that she at least thought about Charlie and Jacob every once in a while. I still think she's too imature to really have found her soul mate, so I don't really buy that her and Edward's relationship is anything more than a "high school" relationship. I'll see if my opinion changes with these next books.

Oh, I just remembered the very first chapter of this book where Bella cuts her finger. I'm sorry, but I was laughing out loud when it described Bella being covered in blood with 6 hungry vampires surrounding her. Hah! It was just too much for me.
