Could have been worse... - By: S. Caughie, 30 Nov 2008 
The only redeeming feature of this book - which could have lost 200 pages of repetitive whining to no detriment, if not improvement - is the fact that Bella finally decides that she loves Jacob. Even if there is a qualifying 'too'in the mix. I'm dubiously giving #4 a bash, sincein a fit of enthusiasm after 'Twilight' I bought them all, but I just don't think Meyer has the authorial skills to convince me that an animated marble statue is really worth all of this angst.
Honestly: am I the only one out there who finds Edward completely tedious? Not to mention self-obsessed, controlling & condescending.
Ah well, maybe #4 will surprise me...
Undead or hairy, what's a girl to do? - By: Ophelia Morganna, 27 Nov 2008 
Ok so if you're looking at buying Eclipse, there's not much chance you don't know all about the Twilight Saga. There's no need to convince you! If you enjoyed Twilight & New Moon, you're going to want this one.
Out of all of the books, this one has to be my favourite. This was the book that took me from vehemently Team Edward squealy fangirl-arama into the 'Oh, Jacob's actually really nice & perfect for Bella' confusion. And i cant be the only one. (Ok so i was still Team Edward after reading Eclipse, but it makes you stop & think!)
There's a lot more depthin this book than the first two, & it shakes up what you've thought all the way through Twilight & New Moon.
What are you waiting for? Buy buy buy!

Better - By: Lovin romance and chick lit!, 22 Nov 2008 My favourite so farin the whole series is Twilight, & this definately comes second. New Moon was quite dull, but this book sort of made up for that. It was a bit dullin parts & quite disturbingin others, but it isn't that bad for the series.
My favourite of the saga so far... - By: L. Felthouse, 11 Nov 2008 Eclipse is my favourite of the three so far. It has the most action, & the most struggle. Bella is still being stalked by a deadly vampire intent on revenge, & there are many people wanting to protect her. All of the Cullens, & the werewolf pack over at La Push. Most people would be flattered & relieved by this, but not Bella. She cares about these people so much that she is terrified of them getting hurt, especially on her account. But it doesn't seem to stop any of them. Edward loves Bella dearly & would rather die than see her hurt. Jacob Black feels the same. Bella is torn between the two men - she's desperatelyin love with Edward & can't see her life without him, but she is incredibly close to Jacob, & doesn't want to lose her friendship with him because Edward's backin town, & the two hate each other.
It's deadlock. Edward doesn't want Bella seeing Jacob, & Jacob won't be friends with Bella because she's with Edward, & he knows that she wants to become 'one of them.' It doesn't help matters that the vampires & werewolves have an ancient treaty not to hurt one another, & Bella's existence & the feelings she ignitesin the two groups could potentially holesin the treaty & start a war.
As well as worrying about the dangerous vampire stalking her, Edward & Jacob, & her dad, graduation is approaching. And graduation is the date Bella has set for her to end her mortal life & become a vampire. And it's crept up on her so fast that she's made no arrangements, not said goodbye to anyone, & is now questionning if it's what she really wants.
Could things be any more complicated? Well, for Bella, yes of course. Things continue to pile up until they eventually comes to a head. Bella has lots of decisions to make, but you'll just have to read Eclipse to discover the outcome...
I loved this book. It's the most action-packed so far, with emotions running high, love, hate, fear, & more. There are also lots of new characters brought in, but the story still centres around the triangle of Bella, Edward & Jacob - all of whom you'll love & loathein equal measure by the time you finish this book.
If you've read the first two, again, you need to read Eclipse. I'm now going to dive right into Breaking Dawn & find out what the finale is!
Probably the best one so far - By: Ms. M. Patel, 11 Nov 2008 This book seemed to have plot unlike the other two which made it a lot better. However, it did take forever for the characters to work out that they had to collaborate with the werewolves & it was pretty obvious that they'd have to do it at some point. What was confusing about this book (and New Moon) was whether or not Bella wasin love with Jacob. It turns out that she does fall for him but that just made it more confusing & unnecessary for the plot.
