Customer Rating: Summary: NON STOP!!!! Comment: I COULD NOT STOP READING THIS BOOK, I RECONMEND IT TO THE WORLD!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE FOURTH Customer Rating: Summary: Ahhhhh! Jacob! Comment: I could not STAND Jacob in this book. Really could not. I agree with the poster who said:
"reading 'Eclipse' (specifically towards the end) was like having a bucket of cold water thrown on me. I was just like, "HUH?!?". 'Eclipse', in my opinion, skews and betrays the true and pure love that Edward and Bella have, and the millions of fans who fell in love with those 2 wonderful, refreshing characters in 'Twilight'."
Exactly how I felt. I read this books for the unbreakable love between Bella and Edward which Stephenie Meyer clearly portrayed in Twilight. With each installment, that love seems to get muddies and trampled more and more. Toward the end, I was feeling better about it and really looked forward to the next book. Customer Rating: Summary: THRILLING! Comment: I COULD NOT PUT THE BOOK DOWN! A GREAT EDITION TO THE TWILIGHT SAGA! I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE NEXT BOOK! Customer Rating: Summary: A pleasing addition to the series......... Comment: Even though the target audience is obviously young girls, I thoroughly enjoyed Twilight, Eclipse stays true to book 1 while standing on its own. If you are a fan of the Twilight series it is a must read and will not disappoint. Customer Rating: Summary: The drama picks up a bit over a werewolf vampire love triangle Comment: The novel keys up the romantic drama as werewolf Jacob and vampire Edward both fight over the same girl. There's a stark contrast between the smooth maturity of the much older vampires, and the young, rash and impetuous teenage werewolves but the object of their affection is the same.
Bella winds up torn, wanting to be able to be just friends with Jake who obviously wants more, and desiring Edward the ultimate object of her heart's desire. She winds up hurting both men over and over again, much to her dismay as she is unwilling to cut either out of her life.
Someone, something, is looking for Bella, and everyone's lives are in grave danger yet again.
I don't know how this girl can do it. She manages to have to run for her life on a regular basis and still keeps up all the drama of a torn love life.
I must say however, Bella's spunk had me laughing my head off with her reaction to a 'good natured' romantic assault by Jacob.
The ending of this book is OVERLY Indulgent (not that I mind) playing to exactly what I wanted to see. So it's not something you want to miss if you're already a fan of the series.
Highschool is rarely a thought any longer, and Bella does graduate during the book, so by this point there's a bit more maturity to the whole story. Again this book as the rest was a quick read, though thick, it's hard to put down, and it only took me about a day to finish the book.
Here's an excerpt
"But you are human, Bella. And as such as I might wish otherwise, so is he... There are holes in your life that I can't fill. I undestand that."
