Alright, I loved Twilight, I liked New Moon: Eclipse, and we are continuing the down hill roll. This had started out as a promising series, I was even willing to overlook the fact that I cannot stand Bella after New Moon.

But enough is enough. They know each other what? A total of a year put together, and half the time was spent avoiding each other. And now they are getting married and turning each other into vampires and...Ugh. I don't know. Romance, yay. The actual book...Ugh. ( )

The premise: ganked from the author's website: As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob—knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which?

My Rating

Glad It Was Free: I'll be honest: I nitpicked this book more than the other two combined. I don't know if the sheen of guilty pleasure is wearing off or if maybe Meyer's work is actually declining somehow with each book, but I wasn't as enthralled with this one. That said, there were moments I liked. Flaws aside (and there are many of them), it is enjoyable to put yourself in Bella's shoes and imagine two gorgeous, immortal men falling at your very feet. And I do like the relationships Bella has with Edward, with Jacob (mostly), and with the Cullen family, particularly Alice. I also enjoyed the fact that we got some real backstory on Rosalie and Jasper, and that was fascinating stuff. I liked seeing Jasper's story in particular. I'll be reading onward to the final book in a few weeks, and god only knows how badly I'll nitpick that one, but for now, the series remains a guilty pleasure. I do wonder, now that I've seen the movie adaptation of Twilight a couple of times, if film isn't a better venue for these tales because you stay out of Bella's head and can focus on how the characters interact together, but that's me. Has anyone else found that they enjoy the movies more than they enjoy the books?

Review style: spoilers, spoilers, and more spoilers. And be prepared for nitpicks, because I took lots of notes and made lots of commentary while reading. Expect negativity. If such things bother/worry you, there's no need to read the full review at my LJ. Otherwise, come on over! Comments and discussion are always welcome. :)

REVIEW: Stephenie Meyer's ECLIPSE

Happy Reading! :) ( )

Ask any high school girl: boys can be a pain. Fall for one who seems appealing, and he turns out to be a monster. One moment he acts like you don’t exist, the next, he drives you crazy by playing it cool — while his brothers circle you with hungry eyes. If you take a break to cut the tension, and hang out “just friends”-style with a younger guy who’s puppy-dogging you, what happens? Wouldn’t you know, he turns out to be a nightmare too.

Fire and Ice

--

Some say the world will end with fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if I had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.

-- Robert Frost
Dedication
To my husband, Pancho,

for your patience, love, friendship, humor,

and willingness to eat out.

And also to my children, Gabe, Seth, and Eli,

for letting me experience the kind of love

that people freely die for.
