The Book Reviewers

Eclipse

by Stephenie Meyer

Eclipse is the third edition to the Twilight series, and not the last.

In this book, Victoria is as vicious and determined to kill Bella as ever. There is the stress of when, and if, Bella will actually be turned into a vampire, (Edward refuses to change her until she marries him; a revolting idea to Bella), when will the Volturi will arrive, and also the newest problem: Who is creating a new army of vampires, and why?

The main reasons this book didn’t receive a five is because, like in twilight (partly in New Moon as well, but less so due to Edwards absence throughout most of the book), the imbalance ever present in Edwards and Bella’s relationship. This is just not a relationship that should be touted to anyone that may read this book. The other complaint is that like New Moon, the book was too long for its contents. A lot of the events were insignificant, and just took up time and space with lots of wordy writing.

However, like the other two books (Twilight and New Moon), I liked the book. Once I started I couldn’t put it down! So, some advice: Don’t read these books until you have plenty of time on your hands!

Overall rating: 4/5
