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, just like he had in the parking lot, and kissed me again.This 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 quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which? |

 Written on November 25, 2008 Summary: And The Drama Rolls On It's been a great year for Stephenie Meyer. When "Twilight" first debuted in 2005, teenage girls fervently gobbled up her tale of forbidden love between the klutzy and emotionally inept Bella Swan and the stunningly beautiful and compassionate vampire Edward Cullen. Since then, Meyer's sultry saga has sold over 25 million copies worldwide and a film adaptation of Book 1 premiered November 21st of this year starring Rob Pattison and Kristen Stewart. Released in August of 2007 and selling 150,000 copies within the first 24 hours of hitting the shelves, "Eclipse" was a highly anticipated continuation of Meyer's histrionic yarn of love and mortality. With most everyone's skeletons out of the closet by the end of Book 2, "Eclipse" (Book 3 of the Twilight Saga) charges full speed ahead into melodrama. Aside from a rather mundane plotline, what drives "Eclipse" ahead is the increased intensity of the love triangle that began in "New Moon". Bella, still selfish and obstinate, is pressing for her promised immortality and Edward stalls for time, pushing college applications and - much to Bella's chagrin - a marriage proposal. Jacob, still a glutton for punishment, is tenacious in his quest to convince Bella that she is in love with him but just doesn't realize it. He goes to great length to prove it while Bella resists him and Edward glowers with mounting jealousy, his natural conflict wiith what Jacob is and the awakening of long-buried human passions treading the thin ice of neutrality between Forks's supernatural residents. While Jacob's and Edward's romantic tug of war with Bella poses the greatest threat, the Cullens have other worries. The flame-haired vampiress Victoria from Book 2 is still hot on Bella's trail and an unexpected visit from the Volturi still looms large, coupled with some distracting news about a rash of sudden unexplained deaths in nearby Seattle. Meyer's style doesn't change and the reader will find she still overuses certain terminology ("grimaced", "he/she rolled his/her eyes", "muttered/murmured/groaned"); one would think that by the third book of this series she'd be touting a good thesaurus (apparently not). Some might also be turned off by her presumptuous comparison of her love story vs. that of Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff in Emily Bronte's classic novel "Wuthering Heights". Ironically, "Twilight" may have stemmed from this novel a bit (though Meyer claims the initial idea for "Twilight" came to her in a dream) and it is obvious from Meyer's direct quotes from "Wuthering Heights" that she is a fan of Bronte's complex and multigenerational tale. Bella's motivations are still mystifying. She wants to spend eternity - you heard it, ETERNITY - with Edward but scoffs at the idea of being married to him. What's the big deal? Her irrational and nonsensical way of thinking grates the nerves to the nth degree. The reader finally gets some background information on other members of the Cullen clan (Jasper and Rosalie in particular) and a surprisingly entertaining story on the legend behind the Quileute people. Judging by this absorbing aside, Meyer ought to take a stab at writing a novel about Native Americans. She has already referenced an actual Quileute legend in this book and could formulate a great supernatural and/or spiritual novel out of the many other legends that the Quileute tribe once believed. Bottom line: Only those finding themselves strangely addicted to Meyer's juvenile saga will be going so far as to pick up "Eclipse" as well as proceeding to Book 4, the final book in the series ("Breaking Dawn"). For a casual and moderately absorbing read that fills the void of time and/or boredom, the Twilight Saga fulfills. It is an indisputable force in the Young Adult genre.  Written on November 25, 2008 Summary: Three is a Crowd First of all I would like to say that I really liked this book. I would almost say that it is my favorite so far. So let me jump into the things I didn't like: *SPOILERS* The first part of the book bothered me. Why is Edward keeping Bella hostage and why isn't she strong enough to put her foot down? I was really starting to get annoyed with Edward. Hence I started to like Jacob more. I was almost relieved when she ran away to Jacob, or when he came and stole her from school. Edward turned into an untrusting psycho. I was glad to see him finally come around. I don't want to make this too long so other things that bothered me were Bella being stupid and leading Jacob on, and how Jacob gets nothing in the end. Stephenie Meyer abandons him, and it made me really upset. The GOOD things- Getting to know the Cullens. Finding out who they really are and their pasts. I was really really glad to see more of them in this novel. The wolf pack- getting to know their past and their group dynamic/soap opera. Jacob Black - some reviews say he's abusive.. Hello he is a werewolf! They are brutes and he has no intention of abusing Bella in any way, he loves her. So what if he's a bit on the rough side? The last part of the book- finally Bella gets to see the Cullens in action. I loved this. AND of course the whole marriage/waiting to become a vampire/waiting to...you know.../ETC.. Can't wait to jump into the last book. Written on November 25, 2008 Summary: read it too fast I need to re-read this book. It was mesmerizing and I couldn't put it down, I flew through it. Jasper is my favorite Cullen, and this book really focuses on his story which is so interesting I wish Stephenie Meyer would write a prequel all about Jasper and the southern wars. Written on November 25, 2008 Summary: great book! This book is just brilliant!! Stephenie Mayer did it again.. Its a perfect sequence to new moon. The Twilight Saga is fantastic. Written on November 25, 2008 Summary: Captivated I was totally captivated by the book Eclipse. I could not put it down. After reading the series of the Twilight Saga, I was compelled to look for other books such as these. I haven't found any yet that have captivated me as much as Eclipse. |
