Brief Description
Readers
will thrill to Ilyana Kadushin's elegant narration of NEW MOON, sequel
to TWILIGHT. Her performance captures the emotional upheaval of mortal
Bella's desperate love for vampire Edward and the obstacles to their
perilous reunion. Like Romeo and Juliet, Edward and Bella suffer from
their own folly, as well as the disapproval of their families.
Kadushin's silvery, feminine voice delivers the unfolding events with
precise, consistent timing, showcasing Meyer's story without
overwhelming it. While the male characters could be slightly more
distinct, the dialogue is clear as are Bella's numerous internal
monologues. Kadushin ably succeeds at creating an addictive listen from
Meyer's tumultuous story of star-crossed lovers. The combination will
not disappoint.
