 Captivating...But What's New? November 22, 2008
Like the previous books Stephenie Meyer has written, this is a book worth reading. It starts out when Bella Swan, an eighteen-year-old clumsy female with...oh yeah, an irresistably beautiful vampire boyfriend named Edward Cullen, is reading Jacob's note to her. You actually see little blots of ink where the inference is he couldn't control his temper and pressed down on the paper too hard. Everything Bella narrated was a simple, down-to-earth statement. It's amazing how large this phenomenon has grown. Stephenie Meyer writes minimally but ends up making something great.
Bella is torn between her love for Edward and her love for Jacob ("love" being a misunderstood term - she loves Jacob but loves Edward irrevocably) and the book advances on that. With Victoria hunting Bella down and the graduation coming nearer, Bella's got enough on her plate. But when a horrifying discovery comes to mind later in the book, Bella's up to her elbows in problems. I have a hypothesis on how this saga is such a big hit. I think the whole realistic fiction tied with some fantasy and a lot of romance can really make a teenager, from ages 12-18, understand and comprehend the natural romance that anyone can have. I enjoyed the saga and was thouroughly dissapointed that there's not going to be another book. (Except for Midnight Sun.)
Edward & Bella Are Back! November 22, 2008
This was a welcome change for me because I did not enjoy New Moon as much as Twilight. But Edward & Bella return in Eclipse and I enjoyed this part of the story. I read some of the negative reviews and yes, the decision making and portions of the story are unrealistic but that is the point - why are you reading a book about vampires and werewolves and expecting it to be realistic? It's about escapism and fantasy. This is an engaging, easy to read, suspenseful, beautiful story that fits nicely into the saga. I enjoyed and recommend it highly.
 Devilish Book! November 21, 2008
Like I said in my review of the first horrible novel in this demonic series, vampire novels are never the stuff of truth, they are, rather, the stuff of nightmares and demons! These "Twilight" novels should go out of print and to a warehouse to collect dust forever! By reading them, people knowingly or unknowingly glorify Satan! These books should be taken off Amazon.com!

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST ENTERTAINING SAGAS THAT I HAVE READ IN A LONG TIME. IT KEEPS YOU WANTING MORE NO MATTER HOW LONG YOU HAVE BEEN SITTING. ALL 4 BOOKS ARE WORTH YOUR TIME AND MONEY. THE HOST BY STEPHANIE MYERS IS ALSO A GOOD READ!

Stephanie Meyers is a grand author. Her books are absolutely absorbing and completely thilling. A wonderful book to read.
