You might notice the big contrast between my rating and the fact I've previously mentioned the Twilight Saga is one of my favorite series. In truth, New Moon is not a bad book. In fact, I enjoyed reading it very much indeed. At first, I even intended to give it 4 stars! But then I just had to lower it.
Here's the deal: 

this book is gripping, a page turner and a fast, good read. But after some serious consideration resulting from a three hour long session of me ranting about Bella in this book, I decide this was a two star. Because in terms of plot, had it not been one of the only books I've read at the time, I would've probably thrown the book against the wall in a raging fit. 

As said before, I'm not a Twi-hater; I love this story for what it is, not for what it isn't. It's not Harry Potter and it's not the Hunger Games. And I don't think I should fault it because of that. So, yeah, I love it. I read this book in the series about 5 times, possibly more. And yet I gave it a low rating; probably because I loved Twilight so much and due to that couldn't compromise and forgive the annoying bits--wait, it's all annoying bits. Oh boy...

This book made me hate a character I previously loved, and thy name is...

The Twilight series is one of my favorites. I have a lot of issues with the following books, but that doesn't change the fact I enjoyed all books immensely and that they are one of those series I read and re-read many times.

If anything can be said about Twilight - is that it got me back to reading after a couple dry years. It reminded me why I liked reading so much and sent me flying back in, and for that I owe it a lot.

The first book of the saga is my favorite, and the only one in the series I gave 5 stars to.

It was the simplest, purest of the four, and therefor my favorite.

The heroine of the story is Bella Swan, and the story is told from her point of view. I find her very likable in this book; she's smart, active, knows what she wants and pretty much goes after it. One might say she's pretty courageous as well--even though sparkling vampires are not really the most frightening creatures one can think of.
My impression of Bella changed drastically...
