eclipse by stephanie meyer

your thoughts about it, or any of the books (twilight & new moon.) something you didn't understand, something that got you mad, etc.

ok! i just have to say i'm jealous of bella, i would love to have someone like edward, vampire or human i don't care! jacob bothered me a lot in this book, he just can't understand that bella will not leave edward for anything. hello she will give up her life to be w/ him.

i felt so excited b/c in one part i figured out who went into bella's room & took her stuff before anyone else did, lol. thank god victoria is done w/ she was getting annoyingg. hahaa.

do you agree w/ edwards terms? marriage then she will be changed into a vampire.

1. some parts of the book I felt like it was dragging. and so I skimmed some.

2. I like EDWARD better. Jacob's just.....he's a distraction. =)

3. it's not like he's forcing her into the marriage..not really. but I think that would be better for her.

I loved Eclipse. seriously. I love all 3 books and I can't wait for the next one.

3 facts in my life.

everything happens for a reason.

everything always works out fine in the end.

I have few friends, but they're truly the most unbelievably incredible people I could've ever asked for. I don't deserve them. they're the best.

My opinion of Stephanie Meyer and her books:

Poorly-written, completely cliche giggly teenaged girl romance. Something a stupid teenaged girl would post on Quizilla in order to fulfill her own fantasies.

I wouldn't say they're that bad, but the quality of Stephenie Meyer's writing isn't the best. It's the plot that's good. I do enjoy the books though.

// Oh, Blogring. Rest in peace.

Many people enjoy the series. I plainly haven't got the time to put my hands on it yet, and honestly I don't think I ever will, even given the chance. Even though they are fantasy, which I absolutely adore, I wouldn't think to put my hands on it, for all the controversy that it has started in my house. My sister loves that book and joins many groups and such about it, it gets kind of irritating at times. :]. But it is a good series. Those who like it, you should convince me to read it. Maybe her writing style and ways aren't as bad.

this was my favorite book of the three. I like Edward more.
Jacob just seemed to get on my nerves a bit. But i did feel sorry for him.

Personally, I agree with whoever said Stephenie Meyer's books are poor writing. Nevertheless, I still read them. I mean, they are just a quick read. I think good books for me always take me a long time to read because I want to absorb everything. But the Twilight series always takes me just a few hours to read cause I'm barely reading it.

Anyway, I liked Twilight and everything. But then, everyone in my school is now reading it and obsessing about it. And it was just like, oh gosh. Eclipse was a book that kind of pissed me off. I'm totally for Edward and Bella, and the book just made it seem like Jacob was the better guy, which is of course, TOTALLY UNTRUE.

Oh and the Twilight movie pisses me off. The characters are all wrong and the casting director should have just went with the author's choices. Seriously.

i miss blogring.

I picked up "Twilight" after reading all those great reviews and yet I can't be more disappointed.

The story is cliché, Edward's love for Bella is unexplained and perplexed, I personally distrust love at first sight.

Also, Bella is a total push over, she basically let Edward walked all over her, I can't imagine how all the female activist rave about this book.
