 a good sequel to the sequel January 1, 2009
All in all I really enjoyed this book and how it established the hard choice Bella had to make between Edward and Jacob. Near the end with the camping/sharing the slumber bag scene and some of the dialogue around that it got a little campy and I had difficulty at times not having that old pop song 'Torn Between Two Lovers' pop in my head when Bella realizes that she loves both of them romantically in their way. Unfortunately Meyer didn't really utilize this platform as a jumping board to the last book (Breaking Dawn) which, to me, was like a travesty, a horrible nightmare of a read after the characters, themes, archetypes, etc she had already established in the three previous novels. I would recommend stopping after this one but some people LIKE Breaking Dawn (obviously Meyer did as well or she would not have written it that way, but one wonders if the aliens from THE HOST invaded her body and took over the story rather than the same Meyer that wrote this book and the previous two - maybe that's why she gave us Rosemary's baby/Cullen style). Perhaps someday if they get around to making a film of it and do a lot of serious messing with it I might actually get to liking it - but for now if I ever reread the series again I would probably stop at this one and not continue.
 Eclipse Is A Wonderful Addition To The Saga December 31, 2008

I have to admit that I absolutely loved this book. Out of the four it is definitely one of my favorites :)I know Stephenie Meyer wrote them the way she wanted to and I cannot help but admit that it is the EXACT way I wanted it to be. I read all 4 books within 7 days and would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys romance. Eclipse kept me up late at night because I just could not put it down! I hope that everyone else enjoys it as much as I did! :)
I heart Edward, no wait, I heart Jacob, no wait, I heart Edward, no, wait.... December 31, 2008

Ooooo, the dreaded sex talk in this book. And speaking of sex, how do vampire males get it up when they don't have any blood rushing towards those vital parts?
Between Charlie, Jacob, Alice and Edward, Bella is seriously on lock down in this book. Poor girl gets so bored that at one point she amuses herself by playing with magnets. We get the background on some of the other vamps in the Cullen family, Jasper and Rosalie, and we finally learn a little bit as to why Rose is such a mean b*tch.
Jacob's the quintessential bad boy in this book and I was pretty close to getting out my I Heart Jacob t-shirt again. He's completely incorrigible yet irrepressible. He's also completely undaunted by the fact that Bella tells him that she's just not interested in him that way. He doesn't seem to be comprehending that fact and even when his highhanded aggressiveness just earns him a punch in the face, nothing seems to penetrate his stubborn werewolf hide. His attitude is summed up by one of my favorite lines in the book, "there's something irresistible about a lost cause."
This is the book where Bella finally started to annoy me. Her obsession with growing older than Edward was irritating as was her constant need to protect Charlie by having Edward turn her into a vampire. Riiiight. It was love for her father that made her want to leave him forever. Her fear of abandonment was also irritating but I forgive her. If she hadn't selfishly demanded Edward stay with her when the big bads descended upon Forks, then there wouldn't have been that awesome fight in the meadow. Edward was kick a** in that fight. Whoohoo. I Heart Edward.
Having gotten all my giddiness out of the way, I have to make a public service announcement. I'm not sure that the overprotectiveness = psycho boyfriend traits that Edward was exhibiting in this book and the walking, talking sexual predator that Jacob turned into is entirely appropriate for young "tweens." I'm thinking it might give the youth of today the wrong idea. But that's just me.

I love this book it is a new spin on a fantasy book. The characters are so deep they seem as if they are actually real, that vampire's could be really exist. My favorite out of the series.
