Editorial Review: 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 It's the countdown to graduation and immortality for Bella, since the events of New Moon (2006) have convinced boyfriend Edward to let her join him in vampirism. While Bella desires only to leave this mortal coil, Edward wants her to try college and marriage first. Bella knows that becoming a vampire will forever sever her ties to best friend Jake, who's a werewolf and therefore an ancient racial enemy of all things vampiric. Luckily - and predictably - a gathering of bloodthirsty, vengeful vampires is headed straight for Bella. To protect her, the vegetarians of Edward's vamp coven need to stop trading racial epithets with the werewolves and work with them, instead. Bella wants the villains to be defeated so she can return to her everyday life of high school, anticipating immortality and fighting Edward's determination to avoid premarital sex. Unsettling racially charged characterizations are offset by messages of overcoming difference and working together. Fans of Bella's angst-drenched love triangle will gobble this entry up, and the open-ended conclusion paves the way for Jake's story to come. (Fantasy. YA) (Kirkus Reviews) Product Description: 'Bella?' Edward's soft voice came from behind me. I turned to see him spring lightly up the porch steps, his hair windblown from running. He pulled me into his arms at once, and kissed me again. His kiss frightened me. There was too much tension, too strong an edge to the way his lips crushed mine - like he was afraid we had only so much time left to us. 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 approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which? Following the international bestsellers Twilight and New Moon, Eclipse is the much-anticipated third book in Stephenie Meyer's captivating saga of vampire romance. Synopsis: 'Bella?'

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - hmmm...First and foremost I have to admit that from about the third chapter of Twilight I was not able to put these books down, they really do have some unseen grip on the reader (and is my reason for giving this 3 stars), as far as enjoyability goes I'd say I liked Eclipse the best, I loved how it delved into the history of the other vampires and of course the werewolves, but it was by far the most predictable(did Meyer really think we wouldn't connect the dots?), and I found myself more than once with a very sudden urge to strangle Bella. And I definitely find myself agreeing with a lot of what others here have said, her whole thought process within this book is just completely and utterly wacked, if the guy you are insanely in love ... Read More: Rating:  - can't wait for the next book to come outThis book had me sitting on the edge of my seat. There is a lot of angst in these books which never sits very well for me, however it only brings certain characters closer together. I almost feel as thought SM has taken various themes from certain classics such as Romeo and Juliet and Wuthering Heights, with the exception that the ending is always hopeful. Regarding this book - the plot was fantastic, the characters even more lovable (Edward especially). He is Heathcliffe, Romeo, Darcy - all mixed together! One thing that irritated me was Bella's ungratefulness towards Edward and his family who are trying to look out for her. She must know by now it's for her own good. Hopefully the final book will tie things up with ... Read More: Rating: - Cannot wait for Breaking Dawn!As with Twilight and New Moon, I finished this in a day, I could not put it down. In this book you really see Bella's struggle in balancing her relationship with Edward (the vampire) and Jacob (the werewolf), as well as having to deal with external threats. I love the way Meyer really shows the depth of feelings that the characters have toward each other, and by the end you get a much better understanding of the complexities in their relationships. As with the other books, the way Meyer describes every detail - a slight movement or look by a character, really helps to bring them alive as well as add to the overall tension. There is more interaction between the vampires and werewolves as well, which is interesting to read and I love ... Read More: Rating:  - GoodThis book was a complete follow on to Twilight and Moonlight, but I took off a star because i disliked the way Bella is completely lovesick over Edward and anything that Jacob did was automatically irritating to her. I felt like saying to Bella that she should see that Jacob only has her best interests at heart.But that may just be my own personel opinion, and other people may like that aspect. Aside from that, this was an amazing book and I enjoyed reading it very much. I cant wait untill Breaking Dawn, the fourth in the series. Rating: - Team Edward or Team Jacob?Warning: contains spoilers for 'Twilight' and 'New Moon'. 'Eclipse', the third book in The Twilight Saga, has been described as the best book in the series so far (I disagree with this, but I seem to be in the minority). Stephenie's writing is definitely better, and her characters are gaining new depth every chapter. Whereas 'Twilight' and 'New Moon' focused on the finding & losing of love, 'Eclipse' explores the hard choice of choosing. Bella has a very hard decision to make: between Edward, her vampire soulmate, or Jacob, her werewolf best friend. Bella is presented with a choice, and it's a choice that will define the rest of her life. 'Eclipse' is just as addictive as the previous two installments ... Read More: |
