\"\"<\/a>With the movie version of the book\u00a0Eclipse<\/a><\/em><\/strong> due to hit theaters any day now, everyone is checking out what came before it to get pumped up for the film’s\u00a0release.\u00a0 After the mega-success that was her first book, Twilight<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, Stephenie Meyer penned its sequel, New Moon<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 This book starts off with a bang:\u00a0 while celebrating her 18th birthday, Bella gets a papercut, and her blood fuels an attack by Jasper.\u00a0 This attack leads Edward and the rest of the Cullens to decide that it is time for them to leave Forks, and Bella cannot come with.\u00a0 Bella spirals into a depression, which she is only brought out of through her blossoming friendship with Jacob Black.\u00a0 Bella once again finds herself caught up in supernatural occurances that she never expected to face, including finding out that her new best friend is a werewolf and racing through an Italian city filled with celebrating vampires.\u00a0 This book is a good follow-up to Twilight<\/a> <\/em><\/strong>and contains a bit more action,\u00a0though Edward fans might not enjoy his limited appearances in the novel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Following the success of the movie version of Twilight<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, production was immediately started on the next film.\u00a0 New Moon<\/em><\/strong><\/a> follows along very closely with the book, including the birthday party, Sam rescuing Bella in the forest, and and the confrontation between Bella and Laurent.\u00a0 One of the biggest changes from the book is that not only does Bella hear Edward’s voice when she is doing something dangerous (as she does in the book), she also sees him.\u00a0 This was no doubt done to keep Team Edward fans happy, since his character didn’t really appear in the book much.\u00a0 The movie includes some very intense fight scenes, especially once Bella, Alice, and Edward reach Volterra.\u00a0 The special effects have greatly improved over the first movie,\u00a0likely the result of\u00a0a higher budget due to the massive success of Twilight<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 As in the first movie, some of the dialogue comes across a bit cheesy, but true Twilight Saga\u00a0fans won’t mind.\u00a0 Overall, I think that fans of the book, and even those who wish Edward had been featured in it more, would enjoy this movie adaptation.<\/p>\n

Though the book and its companions are often found in the Young Adult section of\u00a0the library, this series is not just for teens.\u00a0 People of all ages are engaging in heated debates of Team Edward vs. Team Jacob, and they’re all clearly invested in who Bella ends up with at the end of the saga.\u00a0 This series is guilty pleasure reading at its best, and the movies have so far stuck to what is in the books, making them a lot of fun to watch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
