Product Description:
Readers captivated by Twilight and New Moon will eagerly devour Eclipse, the much anticipated third book in Stephenie Meyer's riveting vampire love saga. As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob --- knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which?

I liked how the alliance between the werewolves and vampires came to fruition, but I still find the love triangle between Bella, Edward, and Jacob had to believe! Either way the best part of the book was about the legend of the spirit warriors, maybe Stephenie should take her time and write a quality book about the werewolves and try to be a bit more conscientious of writing strong female characters.

This author is amazing. This portion of the story had just enough twists and revelations to leave me wanting more.

This is probably my least favorite of the four books, but the details in it are definitely necessary for the story as a whole. I'm not quite to the halfway point of book four, and I just love the "story" in this saga. I do not know that I have ever read such long books so quickly, but my attention is caught and rapt and Stephenie never lets it go. I truly am "thirsting" for more.

I started this series at my girlfriend's recommendation. I was afraid it would be like those Danielle Steele books. But it was surprising. This particular book in the series starts tying up some loose ends and I have already bought the 4th book in the series to read next.

Eclipse, being the third book in the Twilight series, made me very twitchy. It wasn't the character development, which is not Meyer's strong point. And it wasn't the advancement of the plot, which IS Meyer's strong point.
No, my problem with this novel for young adults is the red flag behavior from both Edward and Jacob, marking them as likely potential abusers. Is Meyer for real with this? What is the deal with Bella? She is such an idiot. Granted, she's a teenager so no one has perhaps sat her down for a talk about how it is necessary to cultivate a sense of self-preservation and personal dignity. No, this girl lets Edward get away with being a masterful control freak who tells her where she can and cannot go and who she can and cannot be friends with. I found it really worrying. Will teenage girls read this and think that this is how "true love" is supposed to be?
And what about Jacob and his physical pushiness? It bothered me that he forced himself on Bella in a sexual manner and that she punched him, sure...but then was okay with it, not even appearing to be all that bothered. And what about Charlie's reaction when Bella told him that Jacob forced a kiss on her? "Didja hit him? Well, good. But go, tiger! Woo!"
I did not enjoy Meyer's trip into the freaktastic world of controllers and predators where girls get stalked by their boyfriends' sisters and put on "house arrest" so that they won't go see friends who are considered to be off ... Read More
