Rating  - The Story Can End.
It seems that the novels get longer and longer to tell a simple story. Most of the action is always in the last few chapters and I feel that the verbosity of the books becomes a bit tiring. Eclipse is the struggle of Bella, Jacob and Edward to save Bella and the ones they love. It is clear where Bella's favors lie and yet I still wish that Jacob could be Bella's one true love. You learn more of werewolves and vampires and what young loves means.

Rating - Oh please let the 'Twilight' saga end the way it started!
I'm quite late to the 'Twilight' series/saga. When I finally got around to reading 'Twilight', I was so beyond pleased. I love 'Twilight'! And though not quite as good to me, I really like 'New Moon' too. I even loved parts of it. However, 'Eclipse' really sort of blindsided me. What happened to the once-in-a-lifetime, all-encompassing, soulmate type of love that Ms. Meyer clearly created and established between Bella and Edward??
What captured and made me fall inlove with 'Twilight' was both characters' powerfully intense, consuming and untouchable love for one another. Or so I thought it was. I know I didn't imagine or jump to my own conclusions about that. No... that was the type of relationship and love story the author created, loud and clear on the pages. So then how on earth did Bella end up falling in love with Jacob too?? I have nothing against Jacob (well, he was at times a class A jerk, actually!) or love triangles, but only if you see it coming and it makes sense. You know... "if the shoe fits". I mean, in the first 2 books, the way Bella and Edward loved one another...their connection...the way Bella ached everyday when Edward left...her epiphany when he came back...all that Bella thought and felt about Edward...just all of that really. Bella falling inlove with Jacob in 'Eclipse' (or realizing that she already was), just boggles my mind and throws everything way off. As amazing of an author Ms. Meyer is, I am so very disappointed with 'Eclipse'. The pieces of the puzzle in this part of the 'Twilight' saga definitely do NOT fit.
I believe that Ms. Meyer didn't intentionally mean to disappoint or throw the fans (well, most fans, it seems anyway) for such a loop. And it is her story/saga to take in any direction she prefers. I will forever be grateful to her for the overwhelming, emotional and beautiful story of 'Twilight'. And as I said, 'New Moon' was very good too. However for me- reading 'Eclipse' (specifically towards the end) was like having a bucket of cold water thrown on me. I was just like, "HUH?!?". 'Eclipse', in my opinion, skews and betrays the true and pure love that Edward and Bella have, and the millions of fans who fell in love with those 2 wonderful, refreshing characters in 'Twilight'.
I have to know how it all ends though, so tomorrow I begin reading 'Breaking Dawn'. I am hoping that Ms. Meyer found a way to return to the original essence of Bella and Edward, and to the one-of-a-kind love they share. I am hoping and hoping....
