New Moon - Discussion

[bookreadinglist]

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

Sorry, I'm a bit late :P

Do your opinions of the characters we've met before stay the same? Are they challenged? Do they change? (Particularly Bella, Edward, Jacob, Billy, and/or Charlie.)
Billy is hateful as usual, and Charlie is the one I didn't like anymore, while Jacob has become so much better ^^ I was so happy to find him changed since Twilight! He's so sweet! No great changements about Bella or Edward - except for the big happiness of seeing him go back to Bella!

-How hard was it for you when Edward left Bella in the woods? Astonishing. But not as much as for those who read New Moon immediately after its release. I mean, when I read I already knew that it was just a matter of time for Edward to come back, because I already knew about Eclipse and Breaking dawn!

-How soon after Twilight did you read New Moon?
After 4-5 months ;D

-What kinds of questions did you have while reading the book that weren't resolved?
Why does Bella stay untouched from the vampires' attacks? I really hope Meyer's gonna make this clear in Breaking Dawn, or I may become very angry!
Also, we've never really known how Bella could hear Edward's voice in her head.

-How do you think Bella was able to hear Edward's voice? She claims adrenaline and being near danger. What do you think?
Idk, and I hate not knowing this. Maybe she did all herself. It was all her imagination. Dunno.

-Did you feel that the werewolves and the Volterra scene fit in the same book?
Of course! Why wouldn't they?

-What do you think Edward broke in the living room after the voting meeting?
Idk...a window? WAIT. Is this important???

-Why is Edward more willing to act civil than Jacob in the forest during the Epilogue? Jacob was going to do everything he could to obtain what he wanted - Bella. What Edward wanted, though, was Bella to be happy. This is the big difference between them.
