Loading... Eclipse (2007)by Stephenie Meyer
Heartbreaking. The first book was pure, unadulterated, delicious escape fiction. The second book was not quite as yummy, but still had the right conclusion. This book treads too close to reality to remain as enjoyable. Okay, so maybe in the real world your heart isn't torn between two supernatural beings, but a heart that is torn is far too familiar and too possible to be fun. And I truly do not understand how it is possible to be in love with two different people. This goes against some part of my nature. I am anticipating ultimate disappointment in book four, but of course, I will read it anyway. ( )A very enjoyable read... one of the stronger books in the series. I'm really relieved to be done with this installment in the Twilight series, and am not in a big hurry to read Breaking Dawn. I may or may not finish up the series--time will tell. I liked the action in this book, but a good bit of the dialogue was repetitive stuff. Like Twilight and New Moon, I think this book could've been a lot shorter! Before Eclipse, I'd reluctantly been part of "Team Jacob," as I wasn't a fan of Edward much at all. In Eclipse, I think Jacob loses some of his teenage charm, and becomes more of a conniving game player for Bella's love. I actually liked Edward a LITTLE bit more in this book than I had in previous books. Still, Bella is still treated like a pawn, someone who needs to be protected. She begins to show she's got a bit of a backbone in Eclipse, but it seems to be too little too late. I'm not very impressed. Eventhough I still haven't become a fan of this series, I continue to be surprised at how all three books (so far) have been a fairly quick read. I have shorter books on my "currently reading" shelf that are taking me longer to finish. Can't quite explain the phenomenon, unless it's that I've been in a hurry to get beyond these books. I could not get through the actual book back when I was reading the series, so I stopped. Listening to it is much better. Maybe it's cause I can do other things while listening.
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.
