Advantages: Fantastic storytelling and characterisation Disadvantages: Long passages that I felt like skimming through at times
Eclipse is the third ina series of books written by Stephenie Meyer, aimed primarily at teenage girls, but enjoyable by anyone, really. At this point, I'd like to point out that, in order to properly review Eclipse, it is important to touch on events that have happened in the previous two books, Twilight and New Moon. As such, this review may reveal things about these two books that could spoil them if you have not previously read them. However, ... ...of the picture.
However, Eclipse combines these two relationships as the 'triangle' is explored. The two 'boys' continually fight for Bella's affections, and in a way, I had a bit of annoyance with Bella as a character, as throughout the books. She is, in a way, acting merely as a teenager who is unsure of two things: the effect she has on men, and what she wants from them. However, she leads Jacob on through her actions, if not through her words, ...

Advantages: More interesting discoveries about the characters. Disadvantages: Lack of direction of the plot.
Twilight Series - 3rd Book. ***WARNING NOTE: This is mainly for potential readers of the Twilight books, as I know some don't like to know anything until they read it. This review does contain some revealing details 'SPOILERS' of the plot, so if you're one of those people who do get bothered by this, then please do not read otherwise it might ruin some of the surprises. What I thought of the book: ****************************
After the disappointment ... ...on with this book. I found this third book to be so much better than the others. A lot more happens in this book. With the previous books, I felt the author was either stretching out what seemed like a thin plot, it seemed to make apparent that perhaps the minds of young teenage girls were too delicate and fragile to handle too much information all at once and hence I felt that very little ever happened in each of the previous books. The third book ...

Advantages: easy to read third installment Disadvantages: none
This is the third book in the fabulous Twilight saga by Stephenie Meyer, after Twilight and New Moon and will be released as a movie in June / July 2010. The book follows the story of teenager Bella and her vampire boyfriend Edward and her werewolf best friend, jacob. This girl attracts the weird like no one else but that is part of her charm. The story picks up on Bella's graduation and her trying to convince Edward to change her into a vampire, ... ...trouble is on the horizon as well as the furious vampire Victoria still on Bella's tracks and lusting after her blood for a revenge killing. Danger is all around and Bella is the magnet for it. The teen angst is notched up another level in this book and while i am probably one of the older readers being 30 something you still get the teen angst and drama. Jacob the werewolf plays a integral role in this book and he makes Bella choose between him ...

Advantages: engrossing and just as magic as the first two books Disadvantages: very lengthy
Stephenie meyer's third book Eclipse, is based on three main characters, Bella swan a girl who is in love with a vampire called Edward, and her best friend who is a werewolf called Jacob. This book focuses on her relationship with these two enemies.
She has to choose which one is more important to her, her relationship with Edward or her friendship with Jacob..
For anyone who has read the first two installments you should know this is just as gripping, ... ...it did get really frustrating at times trying to find out who she would end up with! so i would definitely recommend reading it more than once!! if you get impatient and skip alot of the book in your first reading!
This book is far more in detail than the first two, so the lengthy paragraphs might annoy those who want to read quick, but Stephenie still adds that magic touch to this book, and thats why we love her. ...
