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?

5 out of 5 starsEclipse
i received this book really fast and in good condition. I will order again soon.



1 out of 5 starsUnfortunately, more of the same.
Let me start off by saying that I am not a fan of the Twilight series, and this book was as disappointing as the previous two. I read it while on vacation and found it to be boring and sexist. Not to mention, the levels of abuse in Bella's relationships with both Edward and Jacob increase dramatically.

In this installment of the series, Bella is sort of in a love triangle with Edward and Jacob, despite the fact that she knows she wants to be with Edward. She just can't hurt Jacob by giving him a clean break. In other words, she is completely selfish. She knows how much it hurts Jacob to be with Edward yet can't quite cut ties with him. The most alarming thing about her relationships with the two male protagonists is the level of abuse that Bella tolerates and excuses. Edward removes her car's engine and has Bella kidnapped to prevent her from seeing Jacob, who is her best friend. I was horrified to read her excuse this clearly abusive behavior by saying "he only did it because he loves me so much". What kind of a message does that send to the impressionable young girls who eat up this garbage? That it's OK for your boyfriend to decide who you can and cannot see? Jacob forceably kisses Bella, and when she tells her father that Jacob assaulted her, Charlie applauds Jacob for it and basically encourages it. Jacob later threatens to commit suicide in order to guilt Bella into kissing him, and when she does, she decides that she's also in love with Jacob. I truly could not believe what I was reading. For an author of young adult novels to ever talk about suicide the way Meyer does is simply inexcusable.

I found it hilarious that Bella was so against marrying Edward yet completely willing to give up her entire human life in order to become a vampire to be with him.

This novel actually has a battle scene, but the ability of Edward to read minds and Alice to see the future make it ridiculously uneven before it even begins. Bella spends many, many pages whining and worrying about the Cullens and the wolves, but never fear, for not a single "good guy" dies. They are outnumbered, but fighting so-called "newborn" vampires who are strong but predictable, and Jasper just so happens to be an expert on these specimens. The battle sequences are definitely decent, but to me, Meyer's refusal to have any of her beloved characters die (other than the bad ones of course) automatically makes this series the opposite of epic, and how it is referred to as a Saga I will never know. Death is a part of life, and for Meyer to so blatantly avoid anything that would hurt her beloved characters is frustrating beyond belief.

This review is somewhat disjointed and messy, and for that I apologize. I just truly cannot remember much about this book, which really shows how much of an impact it made on me.



5 out of 5 starsMy Favorite Twilight Novel
I think this is my favorite Twilight book of the series. The whole book/story is so engaging. I love the pull between Jacob and Edward. Of course my heart is for Edward <3. The story again keeps the reader on the edge of the seat, one I just couldn't put down.



2 out of 5 starsPsychoanalysis needed
Bella's need to make everyone else happy is grating on the nerves.
However, it's understandable. She was her mother's caretaker and then on the move to Forks, went into the caretaker role for her father easily. This is the way she is...she thinks she doesn't deserve to be loved for herself and goes overboard. Her obsession with not drawing attention to herself fits this caretaker role perfectly.
How sad.
Edward is not controlling. He is on a mission to see her happy however much she fights against this. He also feels the need to protect her. His inability to read her thoughts is a crucial plot element. What fun would it be if nothing was a surprise?
Her self flagellation over Jacob is nerve racking and something I thought could have been shortened extensively. I am not a Jacob fan.
Too much emotional pain to be good.



4 out of 5 starsEclipse
Eclipse (The Twilight Saga)Extremely interesting. This was a very good book. I couldn't put it down.
