4.0 out of 5 stars
Too involved to be objective?,
By DevJohn01 (Somerset, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eclipse (Twilight Saga) (Paperback)
I have kept up with these characters, Bella, Edward & Jacob, for three books now and I am finding it hard to find my objectivity these days. Was this book good? Yes, they all are. Could I put `ECLIPSE' down once I picked it up? Absolutely not! But this was not my favorite book in the series.
Now before you all start throwing tomatoes (because I know many people think it is the best thus far), this goes back to my objectivity being compromised. There were so many great aspects of this book, for example, the flash backs as to how the rest of the Cullen's became vampires (loved that!), the history of the Quileute tribe and the story line about the newborns (which, in truth, I had higher hopes for but I liked it overall). But in my head there is a certain outcome that I would prefer for Bella, but by the end of `ECLIPSE' it became pretty clear that what I want and what is actually going to happen are two very different things. It is like watching a good friend make a lot of decisions that you know are really bad. It is frustrating. Also, Bella was a little hard to deal with in this third book. She was whiney and selfish , in my opinion, quite often I wanted to slap her (smile)! I found her treatment of everyone from Edward to Jacob to Charlie off-putting and I often found myself screaming at the book for Bella to "stop being so selfish!!" Nonetheless, this book is just as engrossing as the rest, that point I cannot deny. I found myself reading 'ECLIPSE' faster than I have ever ready any other 600+ page book before. And I am waiting not-so-patiently on the edge of my seat for the fourth and final book in the Twilight saga `BREAKING DAWN'!

Eclipse overshadows the others - as a disappointment.,
By
This review is from: Eclipse (Twilight Saga) (Hardcover)
I have to say it, painful though it is, I found this book disappointing. It was a fantastic page turner - but it was only that. Meyer strings this one out until the very end. Good for sales and the continuation of the series, but bad for us. Don't get me wrong: I love the whole series and Meyer continues to write about the characters in a passionate and engaging way, it's just not as tight as the first two. Give the whole series a go though; as an English teacher I've encouraged dozens of teenage girls to read these and they've all become avid followers, although the rows over Jacob and Edward do get a bit heated. I'm a Jacob girl for the record!

My favourite of the twilight books,
By
This review is from: Eclipse (Twilight Saga) (Paperback)
Eclipse was my favourite in the Twilight Saga, I loved the fact that it was most exciting out of all four. I found myself truely engrossed in the storyline. I loved the way that Meyer dipicted Bella and Edward's relationship and it's problems. I enjoyed the fact that Edward proved himself to care about Bella more that Jacob does, and to me Edward really triumphed in this book. There is lots of action and tension in the story and I thought it was the best for keeping your attention. I would say this is one of the books to look forward to.
