| | | | "All our attempts at subterfuge had been in vain..." (from the first line) The author of the "New York Times" bestsellers "Twilight" and "New Moon" delivers the much-anticipated third novel in this engrossing series. As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella Swan once again finds herself surrounded by danger.
From the Publisher:
Readers captivated by Twilight and New Moon will eagerly devour Eclipse, the much anticipated third book in Stephenie Meyer's riveting vampire love saga.
As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob -- knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which?
Annotation:
Betrayal, vengeance, and an intense romance combine to create a powerful narrative in Stephenie Meyer?s third book in the Twilight series. Bella Swan finds herself caught between two powerful forces, her beloved vampire, Edward Cullen, and her best friend, Jacob Black, a Quileute Indian and werewolf. While Bella struggles with ancient rivalries, a particularly bloody killing spree in Seattle suggests that she might have more to fear than Edward and Jacob battling for her love. Gripping, fiercely heated, with almost gothic proclivities, this young-adult novel takes delicate Bella Swan farther than she?s ever gone before.
| Praise| "Meyer's trilogy seethes with the archetypal tumult of star-crossed passions, in which the supernatural element serves as heady spice." - Liesl Schillinger 8/12/2007 |

3 of 5 This book was well written Wednesday, October 17, 2007
Topbookreviews@aol.com from Mid-West
I loved the back stories of the Cullen family and the history of Jacob's heritage of how the werewolves came to be. The plot with Victoria was a little predictable, but satisfying to me. I live to figure out plots before the ending. The day to day life of Bella is always an appealing feature in these books. Stephenie is always great at capturing the teenage angst and mentality of her age. Although... I feel that these books are read mainly for the relationship issues Bella has with the men in her life, and that is the problem I had with this book. Jacob does a lot of asinine things in this book, and Bella keeps going back to him, forgiving him (where I couldn't). While I realize that some girls like the "bad boys", I believe she has her hands full with Edward. By Bella riding the fence so long in this book, it made her look contrite and fickle. I lost any identification and likability of the charater. It was a little too reminiscent of the Anita Blake series for me, personally. I was also really dissapointed with the epilogue, as I feel that it didn't really do the job of an epilogue. I also would have appreciated a little more action. I am not excited about the fifth book in the Forks series, but I am looking forward to the Sci-fi and Midnight Sun book she's got coming out soon. Also, if you missed reading Tino Georgiou's masterpiece--The Fates, go and read it. While I'm near the end, I'm reading it at a rapid pace because it's so addictive. There is something about his books that bring you in and get you hooked. and I'm loving this one. Was this review helpful?
