Somewhere, far, far away in the cold forest, a wolf howled. Would I ever learn the outcome of that other fight? Find out who the winners and the losers were? Would I live long enough for that?īlack eyes, wild with their fierce craving for my death, watched for the moment when my protector's attention would be diverted. I knew that we could expect no help - at this moment, his family was fighting for their lives just as surely as he was for ours. His intense concentration betrayed no hint of doubt, though he was outnumbered. With ice in my heart, I watched him prepare to defend me.

I felt incredibly bad for one of the main characters in the end of the book. As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again. But somehow it is not what happens, but how it is described to the reader that counts in these books - very often the "how" overrides the "what". Readers captivated by Twilight and New Moon will eagerly devour the paperback edition Eclipse, the third book in Stephenie Meyer's riveting vampire love saga. All events are hinted so clearly along the way, that once the characters themselves finally figure out the case, the reader has known that already 100 pages before. However, she does not give the reader much surprises. Despite the annoyance one may feel towards some events, characters or motives, the events and actions are still described in such a detail that it is easy to picture the steaming hotness of certain things in one's mind. Meyer's way of writing is still holding the reader. They have souls that are able to think outside the box. Other characters - especially Jacob in this book - are so much more complicated and interesting. She seems to be almost totally lacking the ability to logical reasoning and she is being irrational in so many ways. I see Bella as a self centered, whining and even stupid girl, who does everything according to other people's will. Even though the author has mentioned in some review that everything is done the way Bella wants, and that way the story is a feminist story, I just don't see this. The weakest point of the saga is in my opinion the central character Bella. Also there is more action, cool fights that would be interesting to see on screen. In a way Eclipse is better than the previous novel - the deepening of the character's motives and backgrounds gives things perspective and interesting history to the whole story universe. And this forces people to form unexpected alliances with each other. Bella is also (again) in mortal danger - Victoria is still hunting. It introduces new creatures and monsters, it deepens the original story and the characters familiar to us from the first two books and that way it gives the characters history.Īfter getting Edward back in New Moon, Bella faces a new problem: her relationship with Jacob has formed into such a deep friendship it is difficult to balance. Eclipse continues directly from New Moon, and focuses more and more on the complicated relationships in the series. It is very difficult to review this book without spoiling the story.
#Eclipse book twilight saga movie
First novel was filmed in 2008, the second novel New Moon will be released as a movie version in November 2009, and based on the popularity of the series, I would be very surprised if the whole saga was not made into film. Eclipse is the third novel in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight -saga of altogether four books.
