We (my daughter,13 my son,10 even my husband) loved this movie. It was very, very true to the book, unlike Twilight. The romance was not as strong as in Twilight. But the 2 books are different, Twilight was about Bella & Edward finding each other, New Moon was about Bella using Jacob as a way to get on without Edward, but forming a friendship with Jacob that cant be broken. New Moon (the book) did not have alot of romance going on, it was more of Bella trying to find her way without Edward. This movie was great and very true to the book. I will watch this movie over and over again. Cant wait for the 3rd one (Eclipse) to come out.
