Book description
New Moon: A Heart-Pounding Masterpiece of Teen Angst and Supernatural Drama
Stephenie Meyer's New Moon is the literary equivalent of watching paint dry-if the paint were on fire and the drying process took exactly 416 pages. This audiobook delivers everything you'd expect from a story about a teenage girl who'd rather date a centuries-old vampire than, say, literally anyone else on the planet.
Our heroine Bella continues her quest to make poor decisions look like Nobel Prize-worthy achievements. After Edward Cullen dramatically exits her life (and let's be honest, any boy who sparkles in sunlight deserves a dramatic exit), Bella discovers the revolutionary concept that misery loves company-and also motorcycles, cliff diving, and general near-death experiences. Her emotional journey from lovesick puppy to "I'll literally throw myself in front of a truck for attention" is nothing short of inspiring.
The audiobook format really showcases Meyer's gift for writing dialogue that sounds exactly like teenagers speaking in a library during closing hours-whispered, yet somehow still capable of inducing eye-rolling in listeners over the age of twelve. The narrator captures Bella's internal monologue with the enthusiasm of someone reading a grocery list, which is oddly appropriate given the mundane nature of most of her problems.
What makes New Moon truly exceptional is how Meyer manages to create a love triangle where one person literally cannot touch the other without wanting to eat their face, and the third option is basically just Bella's own depression. It's romantic nihilism at its finest.
The plot moves with all the urgency of a zombie (yes, I know, different supernatural creature) stuck in mud, but Meyer's real achievement is making us care about whether Bella will choose death-by-vampire or death-by-boredom. The answer, of course, is death-by-dramatic-pause.
This audiobook is perfect for anyone who's ever wanted to experience teenage heartbreak at its most apocalyptic. Meyer has crafted a masterpiece of melodrama that makes Shakespeare's teenagers look emotionally restrained by comparison.
