Book 44: Eclipse, By Stephenie Meyer


Rating: 5 stars

Cover synopsis: 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 Edward and Jacob -- knowing that her decision could ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf.

In contrast to book 43, I know this is a book that I shouldn't like. It's a sappy, overly dramatic, poorly-written teenage vampire fantasy. And I think the main character chooses the wrong guy in the end. But heaven help me, I like it!

The movie for Eclipse is coming out in a few weeks, so I wanted to re-read the book to make sure I'm up on all the intricacies of the plot. Which is WHY I like the series...they're incredibly original and the books are smartly woven together. And Eclipse is my favorite book in the Twilight series too. An embarrassingly entertaining read.
