New Moon

I finished New Moon last night. I have to say once again I was disappointed. Meyer's writing style is still immature and lacking polish. The plot line also seemed a little flimsy. I just wasn't believing it. The sad thing about it is that this story line had so much potential but just couldn't make it.

A major thing that is really starting to annoy me is Bella. It's not good when you have a dislike of the main character and who is the voice of the story. She is needy, whiny, and completely incapable of doing anything without thinking how it will affect Edward. I also believe she let Edward off the hook too easy - not at the end - but at the beginning when he told her he was leaving. If she loved him so much why did she let him go so easily!

I also think Angela should be given more storyline. There is so much about the vampire world and the werewolves it makes it hard to remember that there are humans living in Forks as well. Angela's character had some great potential to be a support or another ear for Bella without Bella needing to reveal anything to deep, but someone who could help her sort out her feelings. Although the author meant for Jacob Black to help heal Bella's wounds, it came off like Bella was using Jacob to get back at Edward's betrayal even though he wasn't there physically to see it.

Meyer's first book Twilight was better and the plot line a little more believable (as believable as you can be with vampires.) But New Moon was such a disappointment.
