Advantages: Just as entertaining as the other books, more action in this one! Disadvantages: Bella is REALLY irritating - is she really only 18?!
Eclipse picks up where New Moon left off; Bella has had to cool off her friendship with Jacob on Jacobs request - the relationship between Jacob and Edward is strained so the opening section of Eclipse is Jacobs attempt to tell Bella to stay away. However. There are big threats for the luckless Bella around the corner which will require the joint strengths of both Edwards Vampire family and Jacobs friends (we shall leave it there in case I accidentally ... ...is just as irritating in Eclipse as she has been in previous books - constantly wanting to sacrifice herself to save the people she loves because she has heard a story about a human woman who did just this to save the people she loved, wanting to waste her life to become a vampire and spend eternity with Edward might sound like she is a wonderful human being but its all a little odd at times and I really wanted to give her a cold hard slap across ...

Advantages: Amazing plot, characters, writing...and you'll fall in love with Edward Cullen! Disadvantages: Nothing.
Eclipse is the third novel in a four book series by Stephenie Meyer. I've written reviews for the first two books, 'Twilight' and 'New Moon' - so if you want to find out about those books, check them first.

"'Bella?' 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, and kissed me again. His kiss ... ...bestsellers Twilight and New Moon, Eclipse is the much-anticipated third book in Stephenie Meyer's captivating saga of vampire romance."
**Book Cover**
The cover for Eclipse is, like the others in this series, very pretty to look at. It depicts a red ribbon torn in two on a black background: simple yet effective. Stephenie Meyer herself explained the cover…the ribbon on the front of Eclipse is being unsuccessfully torn, with strands still holding ...

Advantages: Great Story, Great Characters and Good Action Disadvantages: None for Me
Eclipse is the 3rd book in the currently 4 book twilight series by Stephenie Meyer (I'm still holding on to a tiny hope she will finish the 5th book Midnight Sun) At over 360 pages this instalment of the series is a nice big chunk of story. Without giving too much away, the story so far up to this point is of human 17 year old Bella Swan and her vampire boyfriend Edward Cullen. The 2 are trying to make their far from average relationship work, but ... ...You can pick up Eclipse along with the previous books in the series for £5 most places now and they are certainly worth it. They are gripping and extremely hard to put down due to the strong character connection that Stephenie Meyer has managed to portray through her writing. Thanks for Reading :) ...

Advantages: very readable, very well developed characters Disadvantages: predictable at times
Eclipse is the third book in Stephanie Meyers' Twilight saga. The saga began with Twilight, and carried on in New Moon, Eclipse comes next and finally there is Breaking Dawn (at the time of writing, this is only available in hardback). The saga features the teenage Bella Swan and her boyfriend Edward, as well as Jacob who is Bella's best friend but wants to be much more. Twilight is about Bella and Edward getting together, she knows he is different, ... ...a 'difference' of his own. Eclipse carries the story on. I will give spoilers from the first two books in this review, I'll try to keep them to a minimum but cannot promise. Eclipse is the longest of the saga so far, but not by much. I thoroughly enjoyed it, although I still feel that Twilight is the best that I have read to date; Twilight is the most compelling and I liked the way that the character development was dealt with; in New Moon and Eclipse ...

...the reader. I think that Eclipse is the most important book to the series, in terms of how it contributes to the story as a whole. If there were some major plot development in New Moon, Eclipse takes these developments a step further. I would say that this is the book that really sets the tone and prepares the reader for the grand finale that will occur in Breaking Dawn (the last book). In addition, I think that it even stands as a good novel on ... ...the supernatural, However, I enjoyed Eclipse a lot more than New Moon because in most cases, the development were purely humane- hence allowing the readers to relate to a lot of the sentiments displayed within the pages. I also liked the flow of the book, it was slow enough for the readers to comprehend certain more complicated aspects of the plot, yet fast and somewhat energetic at times in order to grasp attention till the end. There certainly ...

Well, if you think the first and second book in the series are good, then this third volume to the saga will be fantastic for you. There are loads going on in the book which makes it such a good read.

On the other hand, mysterious killings starts to occur in Seattle which draws the attention of the Cullens. And guess who's behind this?

She makes a group of newborn army to help her to revenge the Cullens for killing her partner James. And hence the Cullens turn to Jasper, the ...

Like New Moon, Eclipse recieved mixed reviews.
I did enjoy the love triangle storyline, the dynamics between Bella, Edward and Jacob were great. Bella loves both Edward and Jacob, and Jacob and Edward both love Bella. In this book, Jacob realises ...

Advantages: an amazing 3rd installment in 'the Twilight saga' Disadvantages: the not being able to put down part was a little inconvenient...my sleep pattern sufferd somewhat!
So, if you've got this far...you must have read 'Twilight' and 'New Moon'. 'Eclipse' is book 3 if 4 in ' the Twilight saga'. I'm almost certain you don't need my review to make you want to read this book, as if you have already read the other two, that want is inevetable!

Eclipse is the third book of the teenage romance series of Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. Eclipse has to be the best book I have ever read. Just like twilight and new moon it is beautifully written and featured all of my favourite characters. At the end of the previous book of this series new moon, Bella was trying to convince Edward to make her a vampire, like him. This was not only so they would be together forever, but also to avoid an older and ... ...to save her. Eclipse holds the same charm that the previous books carry. At the first page I was once again addicted to the whole series and could not put it down. I read all 628 pages in one morning. I also found myself rereading the previous books in preparation for Eclipse. Just like new moon and twilight, Eclipse can be brought in any good book store or online for around £7 in a paperback copy. At the end of the book, there is the first chapter ...

Advantages: Interesting read, keeps you hooked. Disadvantages: Two previous books aren't quite so entertaining.
...not-so-great sequel to accompany it. Eclipse is not one of those books. Being the third in the series, the story begins with a note from Jacob Black, the boy turned non-traditional werewolf (You won't see any moonlit changes here!) with Bella Swan being the receiver of the note, as well as the character in which the story is seen from. As the main human in the book, you can see her emotions for the vampires (Oh yes, plenty of those too!), werewolves ... ...her.
Bella's caring personality and the way in which she views the world is appealing to all audiences and ages. Her life in the small town of Forks is an emotional roller-coaster, with laughs and tears all the way. Stephenie Meyer has done a wonderful job in plunging the reader into this thoroughly believable world of vampire covens and were-wolf packs, filled with danger and surprise at every turn.
The story is a block of soft romance, to easily ...

I think that this book was certainly the most interesting out of the first three and I'm amazed at just how much information that you can take in from a book!

Advantages: Humorous, exciting, romantic, intense, involving Disadvantages: A few noticeable typos which were distracting
Another gripping, thrilling, intense novel from Stephenie Meyer, the third in the brilliant 'Twilight' series. After the scrumptious romance of 'Twilight' and the evolution of larger plots and themes in 'New Moon', 'Eclipse' draws everything together into a more mature plot that reflects the turbulence of sexual awakening and the harsher realities of living alongside the vampires and werewolves of Forks.
I won't say too much about the story since ... ...two books. The werewolf characters are developed and drawn much more heavily into the action. The Cullens' individual histories are revealed in more detail. Raw animal rivalry and passionate love are brought to breathless climax and down the steep slope to heartbreaking agony. The running revenge plot comes to its violent and explosive conclusion, and the way is cleared for the much-anticipated union of Edward and Bella in 'Breaking Dawn'...
