Too involved to be objective?
I have kept up with these characters, Bella, Edward & Jacob, for three books now and I am finding it hard to find my objectivity these days. Was this book good? Yes, they all are. Could I put `ECLIPSE' down once I picked it up? Absolutely not! But this was not my favorite book in the series.

Now before you all start throwing tomatoes (because I know many people think it is the best thus far), this goes back to my objectivity being compromised. There were so many great aspects of this book, for example, the flash backs as to how the rest of the Cullen's became vampires (loved that!), the history of the Quileute tribe and the story line about the newborns (which, in truth, I had higher hopes for but I liked it overall). But in my head there is a certain outcome that I would prefer for Bella, but by the end of `ECLIPSE' it became pretty clear that what I want and what is actually going to happen are two very different things. It is like watching a good friend make a lot of decisions that you know are really bad. It is frustrating.

Also, Bella was a little hard to deal with in this third book. She was whiney and selfish , in my opinion, quite often I wanted to slap her (smile)! I found her treatment of everyone from Edward to Jacob to Charlie off-putting and I often found myself screaming at the book for Bella to "stop being so selfish!!" Nonetheless, this book is just as engrossing as the rest, that point I cannot deny. I found myself reading 'ECLIPSE' faster than I have ever ready any other 600+ page book before. And I am waiting not-so-patiently on the edge of my seat for the fourth and final book in the Twilight saga `BREAKING DAWN'!

SAD....BUT HOPEFUL
Just finished the book last night. I really loved it. The whole love triangle thing was very heart wrenching. I really felt for Bella, she has such a lot to deal with in this book. Read it with an open mind, I read a lot of mixed reviews on Amazon.com but you have to make up your own mind. Does true love prevail in the end... I think so!

wow!
wow.
twilight, new moon and eclipse have to be some of the best books I have ever read.
I love the fact that they are not just love stories but they have that element of the unknown in them (eg werewolves and vampires) they really draw you in and once you start reading i found I couldnt stop. To anyone who hasnt read it I would recommendit 100 times over.

Yes, I agree there are some points which I dont like about all three of the books- like edward leaving bella in new moon and the love triangle in eclipse. Although I think the reason for not liking this was because of the deep connection you get with bella and edward and you just want them to be together. You feel through bella, what she wants and needs and even if you dont want to you can see the reasons behind most of her actions.
however when reading a book there is always going to be things you dont like about it, and it makes it more interesting, keeps you gripped hoping that things will turn out differently.
I just have one more thing to say, for those who have read new moon once, read it again. By doing this you will apprieciate what Jacob and Bella have got because, if you are like myself, you will be so attatched to Edward, you will practically skip through the pages to try and find him in the story again!!!! and by reading this middle section properly it gives you more understanding into what they have.

but so yes. An amazing triolgy so far- I cant wait until the next is out!!
