With Twilight being all about Edward and New Moon circling around Jacob, you and I both can guess who Eclipse revolves around. We guess right, arch-rivals Edward and Jacob.

Senior year is assumed to be the best year of high school but you know what happens when you assume right? All its really done is put a lot of stress on Bella. With Edward back in the picture, youd think everything would be just peachy but its far from that. Bella has a lot on her mind, from graduation to her love life. But with Bellas luck, we all know theres got to be more than what meets the eye. Shes cant just get away with senioritis alone, and she doesnt. With the Vulturis upcoming unexpected visit, Bella thinks shes more than ready to become a vampire, but does she really know what shell be getting herself into? Like that isnt enough paranoia to make her go crazy, Victoria forces herself into the already filled up canvas. Wont she just get a life and leave Bella alone? Now, the werewolves and vampires join forces, with only their love for Bella keeping them from taking a go at each at other, to fight off Victoria and her amateur army. Bella is terrified for both the lives of Edward and Jacob. I guess she cared for Jacob more than she thought, but could it be love?

I think that Bella really grows up in the book. She is faced with a lot of decisions that no one her age should have to make but she does the grown up thing. I just hope she made all the right decisions.

As I read Eclipse, Stephenie Meyer painted all the words in my mind with excruciating detail and I loved every minute of it. This book was a real page turner. Even after reading he last page, I sound myself searching for more pages to turn to. I cant wait till Breaking Dawn. I would recommend this book to previous fans of the series, and vampire fantasy loves.

This book is pretty awesome. Anyone who has sat down and read the whole thing should know that. Stephanie Meyer is such a creative author creating the Twilight series for us. I love all the books. Especially Eclipse! It was probably my favorite book in the series. I hope you all loved it as much or possibly more than I did. (Though I highly doubt that is possible:))

The story gets even more intense as you reach the third installment. There's a lot of series out there that stop being quite-as-good after awhile, but with this Saga that's not the case. It just keeps getting better. The love triangle between Edward, Bella, and Jacob gets more fascinating...and the danger for Bella gets even worse. In this book, everyones life is on the line --- the vampires and the werewolves.

This is absoloutly my favorite author, she is amazing. This story is suspenceful, thrilling, intruiging, and has a great romance plot. I loved Twilight best out of the three, but this was my second favorite, and close to being my first.

The only thing that threw me off was the whole thing between Jacob and Edward and Bella. It honestly drove me insane wondering who she was going to choose. It was really sad and has a very complex and intricate plot. I absoloutly love the books so far, and cannot wait for the movie and new one to come out.

I reccomend this to anybody who would love a suspensful, thrilling, and lovable book.

Stephenie Meyer did a good job with her release of the third book of the Twilight saga, Eclipse. Personally, it was my favorite out of the entire series. Although I loved the book, there were many things that peeved me quite a bit. Throughout the entire book, she has a vampire stalking her for revenge, Victoria. Bella lives in paranoia and fear as she learns that Victoria is out to kill her&in a painful death. Everybody (as in the vampires and werewolves) step in to protect her, which I thought was a bit too much just for her. The main character Bella herself annoys me very much because she is possibly the most selfish and infuriatingly indecisive person there is in the entire book. I dont see anything at all about her to love. Edward, her vampire fiancé, and Jacob, her werewolf best friend, are both competing for her love, and also hate each other because that is how nature created them. She is stubborn from the beginning that she is absolutely and completely in love with Edward, but a little later into the book, coincidentally after Jacob makes out with her, she slowly begins to realize that shes also in love with Jacob. I think its mostly her hormones speaking. Shes only 17 for crying out loud, yet shes in love with 2 completely different guys. Bella dumps Jacob away as soon as Edward came back to her. On top of that, she cries herself to death over Jacob while Edward is around, hurting Edward in the process. I have never hated a fictional character as much as I hate Bella Swan.
