"New Moon"... or once in a blue moon?

Excuse the rubbish title haha!

Bit of a trivial post this, but I've been trying to read "New Moon" by Stephenie Meyer for ages now and I just can't seem to immerse myself in it. I'm still only at page 104. Very annoying, as I loved the first "Twilight" novel.

I keep putting it down in favour of reading a few chapters of Lauren Conrad's "LA Candy"... which, actually, I am really enjoying! Yeah... I know... but at least we've established that I'm not a book snob ;)

I've been lent the "New Moon" DVD but everyone tells me to read the book first...

Have you read "New Moon"? If you have, did you experience the same as me initially or did it grab you from the first page? I HATE giving up on books but this is a bit of a slog at the moment!
