this book is the most action and suspense filled yet in the saga. Edward and Bella's' peace and quiet after their near death experience with the volturi in Italy dosen't last long. Bella's arrangement with carlisile to change her into a vampire after her graduation is wearing on Edward, since its not what he wants, but he knows it must happen because of the volturi. also his girlfriends obsession with her best friend is getting to him in the form of jealousy. it doesn't help … more

Alright if you haven't read my other reviews, this is basically my background info so you'll see where this review is coming from: Basically I wanted to see what all the hype was about Twilight so I bought the series on audiobooks and listened to it (against my better judgment) in the car on a road trip. The story is so shallow and lacking any real literary value. I think the hype stems from a combination of right-place-right-time and being so generic that anybody can relate to it. By the … more

In the third book of the Twilight series, Eclipse, the characters really are looked into more, especially Jacob. By that point we have already learned that Jacob is a werewolf but we learn more about his background and the story of the werewolf in his family and legacy. Stephanie Meyer gets much deeper into the characters and who they are how they came to be where they are now. This book I felt was the most in-depth. But it also had a great deal of suspense and intensity … more

Ugh! Bella has some serious heart issues. Imagine having to choose a boyfriend between a werewolf and a vampire... It just goes to show that following your heart could sometimes be bad for you.

Aside from Twilight, I'd say Eclipse is my second favorite book in the series. It doesn't have the depressing connotations of New Moon, and it doesn't have the overdrawn story elements of Breaking Dawn. In a lot of ways, it's a return to what originally made Twilight such a pleasurable read. It is a bit formulaic, but maybe that's not such a bad thing given what these books are about and who they are marketed for.

Eclipse is a great book. out of all of twilight saga books to me this is the best one yet.I think that stephenie used such details and such imagary that you could picture the book in your head. I don't wanna give away to much but the way she describes the fight scene is so vivid and so real. This book also is so funny. jacob adds such flavor,humor and sense of aventure to the story. Like in the other book Edward is as charming as always and so sweet and old. I mean … more

When I finished New Moon by Stephanie Meyer I knew I'd want to read more of the series, but wasn't particularly worried about waiting awhile. Then I learned what everyone else already knew, that there really are only four books to read... and that the movie's coming soon. So I decided perhaps it was time to catch up on Eclipse. The story really does move forward in Eclipse, and the characters really do change--not magically, but humanly, growing deeper and wiser. … more

As unpopular as it may be to say...I love the Twilight saga and Eclipse moved the story forward much more effectively than New Moon.

I think at this point, Meyer was just trying to finish out the series. It starting feeling a bit sloppy and just way too drawn out.

The Twilight series is pretty good on the whole, but this one I really just couldn't get behind. It dragged, was predictable and really, seriously, the drama was a little much. It had potential, but Meyers just didn't deliver with this book.

I always find it funny that people keep on reading this series and complain about it, maybe they need to take a break, I certainly know when I don't like something, I don't torture myself with it, that said I actually enjoy Stephenie Meyer's world and Eclipse was just as satisfying as the rest. I care for the characters and their mistakes, annoyances and problems make them realistic, we all whine and complain and fall in and out of love, why should this be any different, besides it's the author's … more

Pros: Much better plot, characters are more likable, story is stronger, overall... Cons: ...writing is still weak; a few minor nitpicks. The Bottom Line: Eclipse is the best story in the Twilight series- as Bella and Edward's relationship face the ultimate test. For about a week last summer, I delved into and finished Stephenie Meyer's vampire series, Twilight. The four books are told from the perspective of eighteen … more

Millions of readers were captivated by Twilight. Several were captivated by New Moon as well. Meyer's eagerly anticipated third book is going to have fans rushing out to buy it. Whether you liked New Moon or not, you'll probably get your hands on Eclipse for the simple fact that there are so many plot points New Moon doesn't tie up. Twilight was Edward's story. New Moon was Jacob's. If that's the case, Eclipse is most certainly more centered on Bella and the rivalry the … more

Bella Swan longs for some sense of normalcy in her life. However, normal isn't possible when your boyfriend is a vampire and your best friend is a werewolf. Not to mention the fact that vampires and werewolves are sworn enemies. To make matters worse, it seems a rogue vampire is building a bloodthirsty army for the sole purpose of ending Bella's life. Like it or not, vampire and werewolf must find a way to work together to save the girl they both love. Stephenie Meyer has … more

I enjoyed this one as much as the first (and more than New Moon). Bella's continuing pull between Jake & Edward grows the crazy proportions. Once Edward was back into Bella's life, I had a hard time understanding the overwhelming attraction toward Jake. However, it seems (or at least it's yet to be revealed) that maybe Bella might be the bridge that forms a permanent truce between the vamps & the wolves. I loved how the Cullens folded Bella into their family, especially considering how … more
