New Moon

Similar to the first book, somewhere deep down buried underneath the supremely awful writing is an attempted story about loss and heartache (at least for the first half of the book). I still think the way Meyer shows the passage of time was clever and sad. The logic, as before, is nonexistent. There is next level abusive behavior coming from two sides now. Sadly, the likable version of Jacob (who is not without unlikable qualities), disappears all too soon. Bella is a horrible person to pretty much everyone around her, knowingly using them throughout the whole book. The only reason to read this book is the conversation Bella overhears between Alice and Charlie. On the other hand, the whole “he permanently disfigured her face when he got angry, but he couldn't help himself and feels reeeeally bad, don't you see how much he loves her?” is enough reason to burn the book and never speak of it again.
