New Moon

Most of what I had to say on this series, I said in answer to Twilight. I love this story; it's an indulgence in comfortable escapism for me. The writing took a lot for me to get over - at least 100 pages of the first book, far more than I would have put up with if a friend hadn't been so fired-up for me to read and love this - but in the end something about the story won out. It's comfortable in the way that cheesy sitcoms and sappy movies are... it's giving up the real world for something that's nice to curl up in for a while.
