Eclipse (Twilight #3)

Reader reviewed by Bella

The book Eclipse By Stephenie Meyer is a book I did not want to put down! Eclipse is the third book in a series, the series in order is; Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn is the final book in the series. A new book Stephenie wrote is called The Host. The two main characters in Eclipse are Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. Edward Cullen is a vampire that has fallen in love with Bella Swan and he is risking everything to keep her alive. Bella Swan is your averages human girl that has had an interesting turn in her life because she is in love with Edward Cullen. The settings would be Forks, Washington, A meadow that Bella and Edward go to when they want to be alone (its also where a major battle is at) and Bellas room.

Bella becomes in danger of being killed by new blood thirsty vampires who are being leaded by a vampire that hates Bella& Victoria. I love this series so much Ive read it more then three times! This book I would say is for ages 12 and up, mostly because there is some mature content that may or may not be inappropriate content. This book is a horror/love story, because Bella is in danger of being killed and she is in love with Edward and Edward loves her. The plot of the story to me is love overcomes all things.

My least favorite book in this series. Everything about it makes me turn my face in disgust. Bella's indecisiveness, her teenage hormones, Edward's willingness and Jacob's harassment. The action scene was ill planned and haphazardly thought up and the love triangle just lost many fans.

Edward and Bella are fighting against outer forces again in this book. This book centers mostly around Bella/Edward/Jacob with little side-stories about Rosalie and Jasper - how they became vampires, how their stories define who/what they are now. There are many killings in Seattle, the Cullens are trying to find a solution, Bella is worried about Victoria seeking revenge, the Voltori coming back to make sure she has been changed, and Jacob her best friend, the werewolf. Jacob and Bella's relationship in this book frustrated me and maybe it was supposed to. Edward is jealous of it because Jacob wants more and during some points in the book forces more in stomach churning scenes. He is like a pouty baby when he doesn't get his way. I really enjoyed the like/hate/comraderie that Edward and Jake share throughout the book. They get some good zingers on eachother. However, I hate that even a little part of Bella is so focused on Jake that she takes what she has for granted. Edward never falters, accepts what Bella wants, while Jake forces Bella to do things he wants. She ultimately has to choose between Edward and Jacob. There is no choice really to make, since Bella knows she wants Edward and his family. In the end, Edward, the rest of the Cullens and the werewolf pack keep Bella safe and now we are on to the next book. This book was not my favorite of the series, but it was still a book I couldn't put down. I hope Breaking Dawn lives up to my expectations.

ECLIPSE is the third book in the Twilight series.
In this book Edward is back, and with Vicoria and The Volturi after her, Bella is more determined than ever to become a vampire.

I definitely thought that ECLIPSE was better than NEW MOON. There was more action, and it was just overall better. I was never fond of the character of Bella. However, after reading this book from the series, I saw her in a different light. I would recommend this book to anyone who has read the first two books, or to just anyone really. All different kinds of people who like different kinds of books seem to enjoy this series.

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.

Edward is back, but so is Victoria who is set on killing Bella as revenge for James's death. The only way to defeat her, is for the Cullen family to recruit the local werewolves to fight together.

My favorite of the Twilight series. Stephenie Meyer does a good job of letting her characters grow and develop believably. The tension between Edward and Jacob is so strong you can feel it, and Bella's dilemma is understandable. You won't be able to put this one down!

The Romance is back on and the Cullens are getting to know Bella better in the third installment of the Twilight Saga.

Edward and Bella are back together and even more in love now, and Jacob is left all alone. But Bella doesnt know what to do, she loves Edward, but Jacob saved her and she still wants to spend time with Jacob, but Edward doesnt want to let her because of Jacob being a werewolf. Edward eventually does let her go see him because he realizes that Bella does have a good sense of judgement.

This chapter ends with Edward and Bella engaged and Jacob running away.

Eclipse is deffently one of my favorite books.

This is the third book to the twilight series by stephenie meyer so if you haven't read the first two, Twilight and New Moon, you should definitely check them out first. I love these series and I couldn't put this book down. Some vampires are coming to Forks soon and the Cullens are afraid it will become a fight. But what are they looking for? The vampires are all newborns who are strong but are not good fighters. However, with only seven Cullens, and about 20 newborns, who will win? It is an amazing book full of excitement and romance. (: It is definitely worth it to read this book.
