Hi Robin,

The link below each of the books in my e-mail holds my review of each book. So
if you want my opinion on it, that's a good place to start :-) Links to my
thoughts on all four can be found here:

all reviews)

Also I think the title you're looking for is New Moon, not New Dawn if you are,
in fact, talking about Meyer's Twilight series.

I adore the characters (except when Bella gets repetitive and angsty... and
repetitively angsty- I certainly preferred Jacob Black's POV to Bella's in the
later books) and I like some of the interesting twists done with the vampires
and werewolves- I really love the concepts used with the werewolf pack and the
vampire family, actually. I earread all four because I cared about the
characters and wanted to find out what happens to them! But I really didn't
like the storytelling style or the plots (which are just slow re-tellings of
other stories when they finally get going i.e. Wuthering Heights, Romeo &
Juliet, etc.). I don't care for the pattern of: character development where
nothing happens for two thirds of the book then SUDDENLY there's a plot and
then it's solved. I take issue with some of the moral choices the author makes
as well.
I'm quite glad I earread them, though, because the characters were great to get
to know and I really enjoyed learning more about them and seeing them in
certain situations. But I needed more out of the storytelling side of things.

And, wow, I didn't know you were a BookCrosser! :-) A friend of mine, Jim, from
my Writers' Roundtable group attends your monthly book publishing sessions and
raves about you :-) It's nice to sort of meet you here!

Peace,
KateKintail
