New Moon is a romantic fantasy novel by authorStephenie Meyer, and is the second novel in theTwilight series. The novel continues the story ofBella Swan and vampire Edward Cullen's relationship. When Edward leaves Bella after his brother attacks her, she is left heartbroken and depressed for months until Jacob Black becomes her best friend and helps her fight her pain. However, her life twists once more when Jacob's nature reveals itself and Edward's sister decides to visit.According to Meyer, the book is about losing true love.[1] The title refers to the darkest phase of thelunar cycle, indicating that New Moon is about the darkest time of protagonist Bella Swan's life.[2]Meyer wrote the book before Twilight was published. Writing the book was difficult for Meyer as she feared the readers' reaction to the book and often cried while describing Bella's pain.The book was originally released in hardcover on September 6, 2006 with an initial print run of 100,000 copies.[3] Upon its publication in the United States, New Moon was highly successful and moved quickly to the top of bestseller lists, becoming one of the most anticipated books of the year. It peaked at #1 on both the New York TimesBest Seller list and USA Today's Top 150 Bestsellers,[4][5] and was the biggest selling children's paperback of 2008 with over 5.3 million copies sold.[6] Moreover, New Moon was the best-selling book of 2009[7] and has been translated into 38 languages. A film adaptation of the book was released on November 20, 2009.[8]The novel received mostly positive reviews. Critics pointed out that the novel was more mature and darker than Twilight, which had an "almost fairytale quality". Meyer's writing gained wide praise for the characters' development, especially Bella's, and the intense portrayal of love and pain which they called "moving". However, some critics thought that the middle section slowed the book's pace slightly.
