Hey! As promised (and sorry that it is later than I anticipated!!) here is our forum for discussing Stephenie Meyer's sequel to Twilight, New Moon!!
The same kinds of questions are up for grabs from the Twilight discussion. Since we've met almost all of the characters before, we can open up discussion to changes or continuity that you see in the ( Read more... )

-I don't exactly remember my reaction,but yeah i was stunned.Although later on as i read it occured to me that he has to come back at some point, i mean no Eward=wtf?
-It's been a while actually.You see in my country it was extremely hard to get the books, so i counted on my friend's sister to bring them to me from America. But i still ordered it in our local bookstore.Eventually i got the call from the bookstore after 2 weeks,and there i was with my brand new copy of New Moon ;)
-Why would Alice tell Rosalie about Bella and why would Rosalie was sooo determined to tell Edward as quickly as possible?They just rushed the whole process so fast.
-I actually thought it was really him producing the voices. I wasn't truely convinced it was just her until he said so himself in the end.
-Yeah i guess.I like werewolves more<3
-Haha i already saw an answer for that on Stephenie's site.
-because he's EDWARD.because he's older than him and more understanding.And probably he didn't want to distress Bella knowing she cared for poor Jake.

They stay the same. Although I am angry that Edward left, and even angrier that he over reacted as usual, instead of listening to reason, when he thought Bella died, and tried to off himself, I still felt the same way towards all the characters. Except Jake. Jake pissed me off so much in this book. I literally couldn't stand him once it was over.
How hard was it for you when Edward left Bella in the woods?
I must have cried for an hour. I stopped reading. Went talked to one of my friends and asked her if he came back, because if he didn't, I don't think I could have continued reading.
How soon after Twilight did you read New Moon?
Once it was like it was the same book. I finished the prom scene in Twilight. Closed it. Grabbed NM and opened it.
What kinds of questions did you have while reading the book that weren't resolved?
How can Jake be such a jerk? (I'm totally Team Edward incase you hadn't noticed!)
How do you think Bella was able to hear Edward's voice? She claims adrenaline and being near danger. What do you think?
I think that because he left the stuff in the floor boards, that they had some kind of subconcious connect. That subconsciously he knew what she was doing, and subconsciously he was telling her what she was hearing in her head. He didn't know consciously what she was doing, but in his subconscious, he did.
Did you feel that the werewolves and the Volterra scene fit in the same book?
I think that both parts were very big in the book. I think they were both needed. The end was a good ending.
What do you think Edward broke in the living room after the voting meeting?
I really don't have a clue.
Why is Edward more willing to act civil than Jacob in the forest during the Epilogue?
I'm stealing this answer from my friend Lauren. As she puts it, Edward is an old man. Yeah, he's stayed 17 physically and will be 17 physically, forever, but in his mind, he's like 100 years old or something. (not sure on the math, just guessing). So he's had time to grow old, and gain much wisdom. Jake is 16. He thinks the way a 16 year old boy would think. Edward is selfless, in that if Jake was what Bella would choose, he'd give her up, because he loves her so much. Jake is selfish, in that he doesn't want to give up the fight for Bella. And I think that's what separates them. And that's why Edward is willing to be civil. Because he is selfless, and has the wisdom of an old man.
