 Enjoyable but somewhat predictable Bella is getting closer to graduation and the promises that the Cullen family has made. She is excited but nervous about her future and the life that she has chosen. (Reference books 1 and 2). But life and love are not easy especially when choices are all fairly attractive options. Bella's life with Edward is further complicated by the fact that the vampire, Victoria, is still hunting Bella in a desperate effort to "repay" Edward for killing her partner, James. The threats to Bella's life reach a point where mortal enemies - Vampires and Werewolves - must band together in order to launch a defense. Once again, the writing of Bella and her emotions pull the reader in. You can feel exactly what she feels and sympathize with her dilemma. The story really pulls on the heartstrings. Unfortunately, book 1 and 2 set up book 3 so well that the plot becomes somewhat predictable. The action is good and the contrast between Jacob and Edward is perfect. This series is one of the best "guilty pleasures" I have experienced in a long time. I was previously under the impression that this was the end of a "trilogy," however the author's video on Amazon indicates that there will be a fourth and final installment of the Bella series. It will be worth the wait.  Disappointing end of the trilogy This trilogy was tauted for young women, but I don't think it is a good series for them to read. In the third book, Bella is over-sexed; all she tries to do is get Edward to sleep with her. She repulses the idea of marriage, and then yo-yos between Jacob and Edward. Her character lacks depth in this book, and her and Edward's relationship contains no substance here. Her first book was the best, but the other two have been major disappointments. I would not recommend this series to anyone, especially not young women. They do not need this kind of role model. I don't think I'll even read any more of her books.  Great Story, Editing could have been better!!! This book was just as great as the first two. She kept the story fresh and unique. The only problem I had with this book was the editing errors. Towards the last third of the book there were many errors which disrupted the wonderful flow of the authors writing. The missing words or incorrect words like "a" instead of "as" was really disrupting. But still an amazing story that will go onto my "FAVORITES" list along with the other two!!!! KABOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The dear readers enjoyed this book so much that we could only say that the book is the best in the world. This book satisfies both genders within its pages. Eclipse has action scenes with mild violence for the boys and major mondo-gushy romance parts for the girls. Victoria, who swore to kill Bella in the previous book, is back with her ugly flame hairdo of evil, and has brought some interesting friends with her. Victoria might be a vampire, but Edward is driven by the power of all out love for Bella, his fiancé and a future vampire. There are two settings, the small town of Forks and the huge forest right next to it in the mountains. There is a great battle in the woods and a crazy struggle to graduate from high school for our heroine, Bella, in the town of Forks. In the mountains, blood is spilled and there is a great emotional battle between two of Bella's lovers. That battle is a vicious and dirty war for Bella's future as a human (with Jacob) or as a vampire (with Edward). Jacob sometimes has a delusional mind and misinterprets Bella and ends up in trouble with Edward. Edward cares more about Bella and her feelings. The heroine of the story is Bella. She is caught between her other half (Edward) and her undyingly hot (literally) since- birth friend (Jacob).She has a few nicknames and pet names, some of which are: Bells, Bella, Love & Honey. Edward, who is the future other half of Bella, is a vampire. Vampires are born with ice-cold skin and no need to breathe. Edward is very over protective of Bella and can be come jealous. He DOES become jealous, only for a moment, but he gets jealous of Jacob Black(Jacob).Edward can read minds ,except Bella's, which is uncommon for vampire's to have special "powers"/abilities. . Jacob, who is a werewolf and is determined to keep Bella human, has a strange body temperature. His average body temperature is 109.9ºF. This is the average temperature for any of the Native American werewolves, like him and his friends. There are nine other were wolves besides Jacob. There are his friends Quil, Paul, Embry, Jared &his soul mate Kim, Sam &his soul mate Emily, Seth and Leah Clearwater. Jacob does have a nick name and it is Jake. Also, vampires and werewolves never, ever, never in a million years, get physically older. There is a very complicated conflict here in Eclipse. The conflict happens to have mini one inside of the main one. The main one is that Victoria is back with an army of 19 new born vampires. New born vampires are ruthless, wild, out of control, and they are stronger than they will ever be again. Vampires are deadliest during the first 12 months and around the 12 month mark, their strength wanes. Newborns also kill among themselves so the original number could have been anywhere from 18 to 100 vampires. Victoria and her army of vampires are only in forks so that Victoria can kill Bella. The only resolution the vampires could see was to combine their numbers with the werewolves to save the town of forks and Bella. Two mortal enemies came together to save their world. One werewolf was hurt and Victoria was successfully dismembered and her body was burned so she was killed. I love this book and I highly recommend is to any person who reads long books. The only complaint I have is that the epilogue was a little confusing. All romance, action and/or vampire lovers READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I found that this book is great for rainy days and snow days when I'm off school. I (love) Eclipse and I hope for a fourth book from Stephanie Meyer!!!!!!!!!!!! | |||||||||||||
