essjay 's review for:

New Moon by Stephenie Meyer
3.0

I am Buddy Re-Reading these with two of my favourite trash talking Buddy Readers this year, and learned when we started that one had only previously read Twilight and Breaking Dawn.  At first I thought this was madness, but could respect it. But as I kept reading, I realized that maybe it was not madness at all. 

Because nothing fucking happens in this book. It's basically 400 pages of pining with 50 pages of actual plot. 

So why three stars, if it's so terrible? Idk. There's just something compelling here even if I'm making faces while I read or yelling at everyone except Charlie.
