Six Moon Summer (Seasons of the Moon #1) by S.M. Reine

Yet another book about werewolves (but no vampires to be seen of yet!) but this one is very good. It holds your interest from the beginning and takes you on a journey with the main character as she progresses through each New and Full Moon to become closer to being a fully-fledged werewolf. The "history" into the werewolf that is given is very well written and done in such a way that you don't feel like it is just something that needed to be done! There is a slight spark of romance in this but nothing that goes beyond the boundaries of Young Adult!

The pace of this book is continuous, not jerky, and the characters are well-written. Very few grammatical or editorial errors so it was a pleasure to read and I already have the second one to start.

Recommended.

In new moon by Stephanie Meyer Edward leaves town which sends Bella into a depression until Jacob Black comes along. Throughout the book she spends a significant amount of time with him until something beyond his control happens. Later on Alice comes back to town and they have to go visit the Voultri. I love the book but both Edward and Jacob piss me off so much in it. Edward pissed me off when he left Bella there in the middle of the woods. Jacob also did when he went from talking to her daily to ignoring her just because he became a werewolf. Also when Alice showed up he threw a temper tantrum that was uncalled for because she was a "bloodsucker." Than they both pissed me off at the end when they were arguing over the treaty and being complete a**hats because they disliked each other for being werewolf and vampire.

Movie Rating

The first Universal werewolf film to really make an impression doesn't have the same iconic status as either Frankenstein or Dracula, but is still a much more proficient movie in purely technical terms. Larry Talbot is plunged into a world of misery and horror when he returns to his family home in Wales; many visitors to the principality will probably empathise, but his experience is particularly bad when he is bitten by a gypsy and becomes a werewolf.

Solid story, decently structured; the wolf man make-up is honestly not that great, and neither is Chaney's performance, but the rest of the cast is decent and the plot rattles along. Notable as the film which established the 'rules' of lycanthropy as far as mainstream cinema is concerned. As ever, probably more interesting from a historical point of view than as a genuine piece of entertainment, but still a film which has deservedly resonated in the culture.
