Product Description

Review

Praise for Eclipse
"Move over, Harry Potter." - "USA"" Today"

"Has a hypnotic quality that puts the reader right inside the dense, rainy thickets of [Forks]" - "People Magazine"

"The legions of readers who are hooked on the romantic struggles of Bella and the vampire Edward will ecstatically devour this third installment" - "Publishers Weekly"

"[Stephenie Meyer is] the world's most popular vampire novelist since Anne Rice" - "Entertainment Weekly"

"Meyer's trilogy seethes with the archetypal tumult of star-crossed passions, in which the supernatural element serves as a heady spice." - "The New York Times"

Review

The sexiest vampire tale for years arrived in Stephenie Meyer's TWILIGHT, about teenage Bella's chaste romance with a beautiful vampire boy. Their intensely erotic feelings are endangered by more predatory types. Guaranteed to suck in sulky 13+ girls for hours. The Times Will keep readers madly flipping the pages of Meyer's tantalizing debut. Publishers Weekly

4.0 out of 5 stars Too involved to be objective? 30 July 2008
Format: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'!

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining but... 5 Jun 2008
Format:Hardcover
For me this book had quite a few problems with it and the main one is Bella. Now don't get me wrong I don't dislike Bella, she is humble, hardworking and brave, but there is something about her attitude that leaves a bad taste in the mouth. When somebody attempts to do something nice for her (Alice throws her a party) she acts incrediably ungrateful; Edward damages her car so she cant see Jacob and she cant even remain mad at him and her endless obsession with her age and willingness to end her own life. Is this really a strong heroine? I dont think so.

Okay, her love for Edward. The scenes between them are very intense and the dialogue is captivating, however, after New Moon, where Bella repeatedly risked her life because she was so heartbroken, she feels uncomfortable about marrying Edward. Huh? Dont get me wrong I am not advocating anybody getting married at that age but she is willing to die for him but does not want to marry him?! I know its a hang up from her mum but, still, a little perspective please.

Now I undersatnd why Bella loves Jacob. New Moon was enough to convince me of that. And I really like Jacob...that is until *Spoiler* he threatens to kill himself unless she kisses him. I'm sorry, but I found this scene so ridiculous. And it really highlights Meyers faults as a writer. Everything is so melodramatic and Bella's constant bouts of feinting or weeping really begin to get on your nerves.

The action was also limited and I find Victoria as the main baddie unelievable. Considering she has been hanging around now for three books we dont really get to learn anything about her.

At the end of the day if you liked the other books in the series the chances are you will like this one too. And, for all my complaints, I did enjoy this book, but I am not blind to its faults. It is definately an entertaining read. I just wish that I knew why Bella and Edward loved each other and I dont. But really I just want Bella to grow a back bone. Give me a heroine I can be proud of.

5.0 out of 5 stars A total eclipse of the heart 4 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback
This was my favourite book in the series, and I believe was where all the pieces of the plot began to really fall into place.

We pick up where New Moon left off, Edward has asked Bella to be his wife - what will she say? We also pick up with Victoria burning for Bella's blood. Can the Cullen's protect Bella on their own? Will they turn her into a vampire?

I love Jacob Black, and he is a big feature in this book again, I find his utter selflessness so endearing. He, in my eyes, is a far more loveable character than Edward or Bella who are selfish in their approach for each other; and their lack of regard for everybody else their love might hurt.

The culminating action with Victoria and her army is compelling, and lots of new characters such as young werewolve Seth are introduced. If you are into Twilight you will read this and love it! If you aren't familiar with the series, do start at the begining - but look forward to book 3!

It’s not like love at first sight, really. It’s more like . . . gravity moves. When you see her, suddenly it’s not the earth holding you here anymore. She does. And nothing matters more than her. And you would do anything for her, be anything for her . . . You become whatever she needs you to be, whether that’s a protector, or a lover, or a friend, or a brother. &quote;
