In Meyer's second book we see the return of the sweet, if somewhat insecure, Bella Swan and her love Edward, who would be the perfect boyfriend if he wasn't a vampire, constantly tortured by hunger for her blood. I find it opens up discussions and goes a long way in what they are talking about with friends!! Enjoy!Ī teenage novel that's enjoyable for all ages. But I am a mom, not a teen girl in love with the hero! So for moms and dads out there, wondering what your daughter is learning from this book, I hope this helps, some good stuff and some stuff that could have been better for teen girls to hear and read - overall it is a good book and if you have the time, read it yourself so you know what your child is reading. no, no no!! I would have like to see a positive role model with a back bone that loves herself enough to not take that from any guy and I feel that teen girls need to see more of that for self empowerment.
I feel it is letting them know that a guy can leave you and hurt you like that and if he comes back, well that is ok that he hurt you. My problem with this book is her reaction and what it says to all the teen girls out there using this book as a 1st look into love. That kind of media in not allowed in my home or around my daughter! I am glad it's focus is on love and commitment and what that all means in a relationship without sex being apart of that, teen girls need to hear that message a lot more that they do in this day and age (any mom or dad reading this knows what I am talking about)!!! However, in this book, (I may spoil the storyline here, so please skip the rest if you don't want to learn part of what happens) Edward suddenly breaks up with Bella and leaves her heartbroken for 4+ months, where she started a new friendship/relationship with Jacob and then, when Edward "comes back" she loves him and misses him and la di da, basically the end. Here is what I thought as a mom: I am glad that this saga does not revolve around sex and who's having sex with who kind of teen drama.
New Moon by Stephanie Meyer - a MOM review of the book - great for teen girls!! I am a mom of a pre-teen girl and since my daughter wanted to read the Twilight series books, I was a little hesitant about letting her, but agreed if I read them 1st and approved, that she could read them. New Moon by Stephanie Meyer - a MOM review of the book!
