 Not really a book for guys, but some good writing never the less October 14, 2008
My Favorite Critic
The book was written well, but as other reviewers have stated this book is NOT for the middle aged man. This book seems more suited for teenage women. So I gave it a 4 star because the writing was hoever impressive.

I absolutely loved this book and of course, the entire series! They were absolutely incredible and I NEVER got to a point in the book that I didn't want to read more.

I love all the books and the author definatly got better at each book. Have recommended to friends and family and have loved them as well. Even though we do not fall into the "designed" graphic of teens, we are more like the author, and since she wrote it for herself I guess we fall into her graphic. Looking forward to the movie, looks like it may stick to the book close.

Eclipse October 12, 2008

In my opinion, Eclipse was a good read, but much too hyped up. It was, at points, lacking in action and drama- Meyer tends to beat around the bush sometimes when it comes to the complicated relationship triangle between Bella, Edward, and Jacob.
However, I am a sucker when it comes to Bella's romances. I almost can't decide if I'd rather see her with Jacob or with Edward. I find it a little naiive that we are all expected to get why Bella literally NEEDS Edward. What exactly did he do to win her over so completely? To me, Jacob's relationship with Bella is more fun & playful, yet they share a deep connection. On the other hand, I see Edward's realtionship with Bella to be a more mysterious, serious bond. The fact that both boys are hopelessly in love with Bella doesn't make it any easier for her - or me- to choose which one she'd rather be with.
Eclipse brought back a fresher conflict that I think was lost in the previous New Moon. The bond between vampires, humans, and werewolves made for an intruiging story line that was not there in the previous book.
The ending leaves me very impatient to read the next book. I'm dying to know what Bella will ultimately choose, although I beleive it will be life as a vampire with Edward. But that brings on a whole new wave of questions: How will she preserve a normal realtionship with her family? How will Jacob deal with the fact that she has turned into the very thing he hates? Meyer will certainly have her fair share of problem solving when it comes to the next book in the saga.
Through the themes of choice, friendship, romantic love, bravery, sacrifice, and even morality, Bella's journey after arriving in Forks has certainly been an unexpected thriller.
