We have contemporary silliness over marriage--how it's so uncool for an 18 yr old to get married--what will Renee say, for instance. We have exchanges between Jacob and Edward that sound for all the world like the chatter between girls. The romantic heroine wants Edward to be the one. The discussion is still open as to whether Jasper or Edward will do it. This book concerns the tension between Jacob and Edward for the fair Bella's hand. The Cullens promise that it's imminent. Her emotions are over the top--she is one unstable chickie-poo. They have been attracting a lot of attention to Seattle, which makes the Cullens decide to intervene.Bella figures out what's really happening.
We have more silliness and innuendo when Jacob has to warm Bella in the sleeping bag while the chilly Edward can only watch and be noble.They get the vampires in the end. She continues to pressure him. She's made her choice for Edward; in fact, the Cullens have agreed to change her by graduation. He is SOOOO mature and self-sacrificing. But Edward is old-fashioned and doesn't want to "do it" until he has her promise of marriage. He says he'll change her IF she marries him; he buys the ring when he sees her resistance fading.Finally, we have the drama of Vampire Victoria returning along with 19 other "newborns", people she has herself changed in order to become part of her army of revenge. But the Volturi return anyway, and are displeased that Bella has not yet been changed. Plans begin for the wedding.
Meyer's acknowledgments, which you have to read to know why. I loved Eclipse, and almost as mush as Twilight. Suspenseful, romantic and frustrating all at once. I love a good cliffhanger, and this does not disappoint, and I love the new dynamic between the characters. I cannot wait to see how the story ends, and I especially loved Mrs. The only thing lacking is with the action and fight scenes. which could be more involved and descriptive.
this book is awesome and couldn't put it down and then had to jump right into the last one :)
She never leaves the home without her blackberry and her Twilight series. I bought this book for my wife as a present for her birhtday. She has been glued to it and hasn't let go of it for days. I'm assuming it a great book. She hasn't done this for any other set of books.
but in order of course. Loved the book, it's really gotten me into the whole Twilight series. Would absolutely recommend this book to anyone. You have to read them in order. Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and then Breaking Dawn.
