tenhle díl mi přišel strašně natažený. Belle a celkově všem ostatním trvalo strašně dlouho, než přišli na hlavní zápletku knihy, i když byla více než jasná hned po prvních stránkách. taky mi strašně vadily ty zamilovaný řeči, občas byly fakt už nesnesitelný. 
ovšem líbilo se mi, že se konečně odhaluje backstory např. jaspera nebo rose, na což jsem celkem čekala. 
konec knihy byl zajímavý a akční, akorát jak říkám, klidně to všechno mohlo být o 100 stran kratší. 
další plusový body dávám za Jacob time, protože Jacob je prostě lepší než Edward xdd

DNF’d at page like, 60 something. 
Guys, this was my FAVORITE BOOK OF THE SERIES the first time around. I can’t believe how awful I found the beginning of this book. Edward was pissing me off SO MUCH that I couldn’t even pay attention anymore. He was controlling and manipulative and I found myself HATING him so I just stopped. I thought I cared and wanted to know what happened next but I guess I don’t. I can’t continue on with this series and you know what? That’s ok. It will always be a part of my reading history but I don’t have to love it forever. The first book will always hold a special place in my heart, as will the movies. But this book? Nope. I’m done.

for reasons I don't want to vocalize, I really hate Bella. I rated this book 5 stars because I watched her suffer through a decision. this is really unlike me, being a sadistic reader to the "poor antagonist" who's finding it hard to decide about the awkward situation she's in. I don't know. she just pisses me off so much.

Readers captivated by Twilight and New Moon will eagerly devour the paperback edition Eclipse, the third book in Stephenie Meyer's riveting vampire love saga. 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 her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob --- knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which?

Le dí ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ porque no voy a mentir, de toda la saga... Fue mi favorito.

En 634 páginas la Andrea de 15 años vivió su sueño hormonal: Dos vatos musculosos y MÁ GI COS luchando por tu amor. Wow, claro que estaba voladisima devorando esas páginas. 
Única cosa que jamás entendí y dije ¿Cómo poooor?: El Eduardo dice y dice que sin boda no había "Acto amatorio". I mean...

Pero bueno, grandes capítulos de esos vatos chingadose mutuamente y escenas de vampiros dándose en la madre.

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 her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob — knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. Eclipse highlights every thing that I loathe about Bella and her lack of character. In Eclipse, we get to watch Bella not only string Jacob along but also flaunt it in front of Edward’s face, which she knows she can get away with because technically, she wouldn’t have two thoughts about Jacob Black if Edward had never left her. And that is something she is hell bent to keep fresh on Edward’s mind… the consequences of her not getting her way, or of him ever leaving her again. This book is the low point of the series. It pretty much proves all of the criticism 
of sexism, racism, romanticizing abuse, and just shitty writing 100% right. It's just really bad, and not even fun-bad, like the first one. Just a miserable time overall for older readers who return to this series. This book series remains better for younger readers who want to dip their toes into paranormal romance.

Bella must choose between her friendship with Jacob, a werewolf, and her relationship with Edward, a vampire, but when Seattle is ravaged by a mysterious string of killings, the three of them need to decide whether their personal lives are more importantthan the well-being of an entire city.

Woah! Didn't think I would come back so quickly this time did ya? Well, I have finished Eclipse and I have to say, I am perplexed. While part of me wants to focus on all of the gushy lovey-doviness of the idea that two really attractive mythical creatures are head-over-heels and fighting over me, I also can't seem to get past how immature Jacob is over Bella and Edward's relationship, or how Edward is sometimes almost too selfless with everything. 

Throughout this book, Bella is still trying to have both cake and pie and eat it too and it's getting tiring at this point lol. I am ready for her to be a vampire already. I have only been waiting 1,737 pages for it!

ALSO. This book again has the main conflict last like two seconds. Like I understand that its huge that the coven and pack are working together and are too mighty to stop but also like drag it out a little at least. The book builds 500+ pages up for a 20 page fight scene my golly.

I read the whole twilight series the past week and my thoughts before reading the books were that I wanted to know why there was a whole fandom about this one series. If I'm speaking truly about all of the series it was okay and I mean that in a reasonable way. The third book was more intriguing than the second book. The third book was a step right direction for the series to go in. Eclipse was better than New Moon but I still think it was three stars in my opinion. I still think that people should read the whole series but it's a little cheesy for my taste. The only reason I'm saying that is because I usually read sci-fi and fantasy books with romance in them. The twilight series makes romance the main genre. I do like the writing style and Edward & Bella.

The book had a slow pace and nothing really interesting happened.

And the award for the most boring and uninteresting book I've read this year goes to Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer!

Whew, I'm really glad I've finally finished it. I felt like the whole time I was reading it I was just wasting my time. But, for the sake of my goodreads challenge, I read it and finished it. (I mostly skimmed the pages when I reached half of it, it was THAT boring.) 

This is the worst book in the series. The first and second books were tolerable, whilst this one was just infuriating! It wasn't riveting nor was it captivating. There was no thrilling moment. No nail-biting, gripping, heart-palpitating scenes. It was so dull!!!

We all know Bella has personality issues, but she was just so frustrating in this book. I just wanted to shake her so hard and yell at her. She is needy, selfish, and is batshit crazy for Edward (to the point where she's willing to throw everything that she has away just to be with him). It's not like she has a horrible life. Her mother and father love her. She has friends. And, yeah, her life's pretty ordinary but at least it doesn't suck. I don't understand why people would find this romantic. It was beyond idiotic. Edward was too controlling. Again, I don't understand why people would fall in love with his character. Combine that with Bella's neediness, well, you've got yourself one frustrating ship.

The plot was there but it was delivered in such a ponderous way. If you think there's going to be a thrilling, action-packed scene, please stop. Because that won't happen in this book. 

I'm so frustrated. 629 pages of needy Bella and controlling Edward fawning over each other with no moment, scene, whatsoever that was actually worth the read. I'm sorry to all the Twilight fans, I just really think this is horrible.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but this book made me want Jacob to win. That’s all I’m gonna say.

Mark-Olivier

Almost four stars. Bella is too much into Edward and Jacob is such a manipulative "boyfriend", I can't. 
The only thing I like is the end with the battle, the practicing before, etc. Except that, the book is full of "who to choose" (which would be pretty easy for Bella if she didn't lie to herself), "who gives the most 'male alpha' vibe for Bella" and "who can better protect the weak human". 
However, I have to give a point to Edward for having a nice development from "I gotta protect Bella from anything and I'll do anything to do so" to "I understand Bella is a human being with feelings and free will so I don't own her" while Jacob is just a whining b*tch who can't stop hurting Bella with his talk <spoiler> "Well if you don't want me (AKA love me), I think I'll just kill myself" hmm wtf Jacob?"

Bella?' Edward's soft voice came from behind me. I turned to see him spring lightly up the porch steps, his hair windblown from running. He pulled me into his arms at once, and kissed me again. His kiss frightened me. There was too much tension, too strong an edge to the way his lips crushed mine - like he was afraid we had only so much time left to us. 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 her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob - knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which? Following the international bestsellers Twilight and New Moon, Eclipse is the much-anticipated third book in Stephenie Meyer's captivating saga of vampire romance.

what else can i say except jacob annoys the hell out of me

Reading this series the first time was the ultimate caving act as far as peer pressure went. Sadly, though, my first read was characterised by an incredibly snobbish attitude. @ Pas self: Get over it . Liking romance and "girly" stuff is allowed. Cool , even .
What's changed now, you ask?


Well... Adolescence in full vampire craze happened. And early 20s, yes. No, I don't do phases. If I like something, I like it. Which is what I feel towards vampire-centered fiction, just to be extremely clear. Except, I've finally put a finger on why Twilight doesn't evoke homey, warm feelings in me: such an easy read as it is, it lacks... bite. (Can't resist a pun) My fave tv show as a teen was TVD (Which still causes the aforementioned warm fuzzies. And quote-alongs. And rewatches. You got the gist) and I adored Buffy. Why? Because the vamps controlled themselves and still behaved like vamps and the romance was way spicier
(If you read this last sentence and didn't think of Damon or Spike, I've officially failed at references).

Estaba disfrutando mucho de este libro, hasta las últimas 100 páginas.

Leer a Bella y Edward siempre me hace sonreír, al ser una saga que he estado leyendo poco a poco, me resulta emocionante cada vez que vuelvo al siguiente libro, le tomé tanto cariño a Forks de nuevo, que realmente voy a extrañar este pueblito, y a todos los Cullen, incluso a Charlie.

Así que como dije, todo estaba yendo increíble, se asemejaba mucho a la película y eso me encantaba, hasta que pasó algo que me hizo desear arrancarme los ojos.

Jacob es un hdp, tal cual. En Luna Nueva no lo detesté tanto como pensaba, porque hasta ese punto no era tan intenso con Bella, le agradecí por ayudarla pero hasta ahí. Mi problema es que en este libro todo el tiempo está jode y jode, a pesar que Bella le dijo que no lo quería como algo más que amigos.

Bueno, el perro necesita ser educado. Odié la primera vez que forzó a Bella a besarlo, odié que jamás se arrepintió (hago un paréntesis para decir que la escena donde Edward le reclama a Jacob por eso es más icónica en la película). Odié más aún cuando se porta como un niñito al que recién le quitas su juguete favorito. Manipuló horriblemente a Bella para que lo volviera a besar, la manipuló para que ella aceptara algo que tal vez nunca sintió pero fue forzada a verlo.

Aquí es donde entra mi conflicto, creo que Bella sí lo ama, lo quiere, lo aprecia, pero jamás a un nivel romántico. Ella misma lo dice, cuando tuvo que hacer la elección supo sin quién no podría jamás existir; Edward. Así que sí, me dio colera y me dolió cuando en la segunda vez que se forzada a besar al perro de pronto acepta que está "enamorada" de él. Me dolió leer como describe que deja ir ese futuro que jamás pensó que quería con él. 

¿Mi teoría de por qué no lo ama románticamente a pesar de todo? Fácil, no me creo ni por un segundo que una parte del cerebro de Bella y su obsesión que tiene con Edward le permitieran contemplar a otra persona, así que sí, creo firmemente que fue manipulada para creer que siente otra cosa.

Además no sé por qué tanto jode Jacob con ella, si él sabe que aunque ambos tuvieran futuro, iba a botar a Bella en el instante en que él se imprimara, so, Jacob eres un egoísta hdp.

Volviendo con cosas que me hacen feliz, fue hermoso leer de nuevo como Edward le expresa a Bella que es su razón de existir, y cuando le propuso matrimonio, diosssss, amé.

Oy vey, my heart hurts for Jacob. Damn it and he isn't my favorite character, I love Edward, but maybe the few years that have passed since I last read this book changed my perspective a bit. I still think Bella is a bumbling swoony idiot sometimes (the girl needs to grow some backbone), but I still really like this book. Mostly I think it was to do with the fact that this book is basically story-time with the Twilight cast. Jasper, Rosalie, the Quiletes - we get to hear so much more about how they came to be. 

Now it's movie time and then Breaking Dawn!
