New Moon


#283
Title: New Moon
Author: Stephenie Meyer
Publisher: Little, Brown
Year: 2006
563 pages

Neither the plot nor the writing are worth much analysis; this is the second in the series of soft core porn without sex for teenage girls who have not yet learned that the reason Romeo and Heathcliff are bad news is not because you are star-crossed lovers, but because you are a whiny self-centered shrew and he is a depressive abuser.

I do wonder whether Bella and Edward will continue to smell indescribably delicious to each other once she's made a vampire. No one else finds Edward as compelling as Bella; on the other hand, all the undead find her scent irresistible, so we must hope for her sake that if she remains smellicious, she is not gnawed on too frequently by salivating ghouls, lest her truculent and possessive manpire be forced to kill again.
