New Moon Review
“…she [Stephanie Meyer] can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good…” ~ Stephen King
And frankly, I agree. Stephanie Meyer, Autor of the Twilight series, has gotten her share of criticism, but also many undeserved raving fans. I’m going to take a closer look at her Sekunde book in this series, New Moon.
New Moon Is quite possibly the just all-around worst book in the series, and I will tell Du why.
One, Edward leaves Bella, and she turns into a zombie-like wreck. She abandons all of her friends, instead focusing what little personality she has on hatred for Edward bringing this on her. She does nothing except for go back and forth between hatred of Edward, and describing the ‘hole in her chest’ supposedly representing that when Edward left, she was left incomplete. The only problem with this is that Meyer used the analogy countless times.
Two, Bella resorts to doing dangerous stunts in order to hear Edward’s voice telling her not to do them. She first discovers this is possible when she sees the men who almost raped her in Twilight after she goes to a movie with her friend Jessica. She wanted to see if she was right in assuming that they were the same people, Edward’s voice tells her not to go closer. At least three-quarters of a page, if not more, is devoted to her going back and forth between approaching them and not. She later buys two Motorräder and asks her friend Jacob to fix them up and teach her to ride them. He generously does it without charge. When she is first learning how, she hears Edward’s voice and is so startled; she takes off and crashes into a tree. During this, she sees some people going cliff-diving, and Jacob promises that he will take her sometime. She is waiting for Jacob on the strand one Tag and brilliantly decides to go cliff-diving Von herself. She almost drowns and Jacob comes in to save her.
Three, the useless attempts to make Bella seem selfless. A.K.A, the depression, and after she almost drowns, she learns that Harry Clearwater died of a herz attack. Therefore allowing Meyer to make Bella feel bad that she’s taking up all of the attention, when she really isn’t.
Four, the repetitiveness. I cannot stress this enough. I’ve consulted the young writer’s society and have found out that there were 165 references to Edward’s beauty in the book. I get that Alice’s walking could be seen as dancing, I get that Edward is gorgeous, and I get it that Bella is depressed and upset!
Five, the fact that there is no other gegeben reason for Edward and Bella to be in Liebe other than his looks and her smell. Edward needs Bella because (and this is a quote) she’s his ‘own personal brand of heroin’. And Bella supposedly loves Edward because…why? Meyer, if Von some odd chance Du see this, if she loves him because he’s ‘beautiful’, that’s lust and obsession, not love.
Six, now this could apply to other Bücher too, how ridiculously stupid Bella is. There’s no other way to put it. Jacob loves her, Jacob is the one who ‘brought her back to life’ Du could say, Jacob has been there for her throughout the book; Edward lusts after Bella, Edward sparkles, Edward sneaks into her room and watches her sleep. And yet, Bella chose Edward. And that’s just one example.
I could go on, but I think that this is enough to make my point. So please, don’t read the book. And if Du already have then don’t buy the movie, it’ll only be worse.
