Eclipse (Twilight #3)

Reader reviewed by Holly

Wow.

This book is gooood. It's so good that it's another one that I read in one day. What do we have, well, a love triangle, killer vamps on the loose, and one girl dying to be one of them.

Jacob's fighting for Bella's love and attention, that he can't steal away from Edward. Bella's trying to get Edward to change her. And, Edward is busy watching after Bella and trying to figure out who's after her.

What a mess? This is another one that Stephenie wrote that will keep you on edge and wanting more. Just one thing, though, you WILL be NEEDING the next book, that's not going to be released Aug. 2nd. HURRY UP! =)

I can't wait till the next book. I think that this series is the best I have ever read. Edward is here in this book a lot more than the 2nd...thankfully or not. I think that I still want Bella to get change into a vampire. But you never know. Stpehenie Meyer keeps you guessing the whole book. I finished this in 2 days. I had to go to the store to get it after I finished New Moon. I think that if you have read the previous 2 then you will love the third. It is my favorite so far. It had the most action ever!!!! Have fun reading and have a hard time waiting till august for the next to come out.

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.

Bella believes that she wants to be a vampire, but she must fight with herself to make sure that's what she really wants. There have been many killings in Seattle and, once again, Bella is in danger. Graduation is right around the corner and she is faced with the hardest decision of her life -- life or death? And which is which?I found that this book had me laughing at a lot more compared to the other books and that story seem to move in a more constant flow than New Moon because both Edward and Jacob in the entire story and equally affect Bella.

After Bella almost being turned into a vampire and almost being killed with Edward a new adventure starts for her. Bella finds out that Jacob is in love with her. Know Edward and Jacob are compiting to get Bellas love. Shes so confused and doesnt know what to do because she loves both of them. At the end Edward and Jacob have to work togethor to save Bella.

Since Edward killed James in Twilight know Victoria wants revenge. Know the Cullens and the Warewolf pack have to work together. Maybe Bella will turn into a vampire after all. But one things for sure shes going to marry Edward before she becomes a vampire.

Of its type, though, this is very well done. Author Stephenie Meyer has a writing style that can keep the reader turning the pages even when there is nothing much happening (which is most of the time), and there is a lot more suspense in this entry than in last two, as well as a pretty entertaining climactic battle (though much of it happens offstage).

If you liked the first two you'll love this one, I 'm gonna make this short and to the point, I hate Jacob, yep, short and to the point, in the second one, he gets Bella, then when edward come home, he's a jerk, well, it's continued, he's hurting Bella, and doesn't care, just as long as he gets his kiss, I hate him, he makes me scream, and in the end when he says he'll be the one to stop pulling because he truly cares, he's not stopping! But, of course we all know Edward would do the same thing if Bella asked and he'd go he wouldn't make Bella feel bad, in fact, unlike Jacob, he'd actually be happy about her decision, he'd be happy because she's happy, even if it's not him! Jacob isn't happy because she's happy, he could care less! So, in the end, I hate Jacob!

The vampire love saga continues in Stephanie Meyers third novel, Eclipse. As we are drawn back to forks we see Bella as the time for her transformation nearer. In this book she starts to realize the disadvantages of becoming a vampire. Not only will she loose her family and her humanity but also her best friend.

After being a HUGE fan of the two previouse books this one was an interesting case. Never have I so ferociously devoured a book I detested so much. I was so entranced that I read this book in less then a day yet hated every minute of it. To begin with, I prefer novels with more substance then included in the average romance novel. I couldnt help but reword almost every sentence to make it sound more sophisticated and I gagged during at least three quarters of the romance scenes. The hardest part was Bella. . She was the most tedious and bland character I have ever read about with almost no good personality traits. Bella is hypocritical, fickle, and quite self centered not to mention backstabbing. I would hope that a book so beloved by a multitude of girls everywhere would try to display a noble, strong heroic young woman instead of a wishy washy little girl whos only existence relies on two boys. Although Stephanie Meyer is, in my opinion, an amateur author compared to my favorites she has mastered the secret of keeping readers spellbound. I would recommend this book to anyone who was brainwashed by Martians or needs light reading while recovering from a coma.

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.
