I have to say: This was anything but I had expected! And apparently I'm not the only one ... but probably the only one who finds it positive that it was not this continues, as has been imagined and perhaps desired. It's a power to surprise the reader, or not? And sometimes you have to make it to his readers a bit uncomfortable: Therefore, and especially because I can identify very well with it, are the "Jammer passages" useful and necessary! Above all, necessary - because what would that be a Bella if she had coped with the separation after three days. Uncomfortable it was (at least for me) even when Edward came back: I had meanwhile sowasvon in Jacob crush ;-) that I now very unappealing Edward found, especially in direct comparison. So much for the better (because I need surely not to mention that this book made me once again read through the night ...). Now to the nitty gritty: - Clear the story is also on the 2nd tape no less trivial, but that it is not at all well :-) - Too bad that Bella so eeeewig need to find out what is wrong with Jacob, while I already knew it for what felt like two seconds ... - That with Edward's voice in her head - najaaaa that fact in itself I found less bad than ridiculous statement ... So 4 stars for New Moon, because of small weaknesses, but still very exciting reading pleasure :-)
