New Moon

As in my opinion of the first book I went into this series knowing that I was not giving it a fair shot. I already had a bias against Twilight because I know without a doubt this story has been told dozens of times and Meyer certaintly is not bringing anything new to the table.

What got me about New Moon is that she introduces Jacob (well, re-introduces) and I like him. I really like him. That in itself is a problem because Meyer obviously only created Jacob to create more angst in Bella's angst filled existence. She continually forgets that Jacob is even a character which goes beyond pissing me off and she makes Bella treat him like complete and utter shit. Frankly, it made me want to toss the book across the room every time Bella said another stupid, self-centered, selfish thing about her and Jacob.

Without listing everything that I hated I'll just say this: It was a vast improvement over the first books. I'm hoping that Meyer just didn't know what monster she created and needed to settle in to writing young adult and that is her excuse for the first book.
