Best one in the series
5 Stars
By leaps and bounds, the best novel in the Twilight series. Offers the same excitement and suspense as Twilight, but more of the budding romance [that we all not-so-secretly crave] between Edward and Bella.

5 Stars
I'm still trembling about the way that this book awakes my feelings,I wish to be 17 again and love, feel and kiss in the same way,those dialogos that I read are going to be with me if not for ever,for a long time,.. long. They made me laugh and jump with happines and I'm 44. I think I'm in love with the love again, what a way to put the love in that strange situation without losing the purity or the inocent of it. It's simply p e r f e c t. Mirna G.

Well, this book really dragged in the beginning. Really reiderating New Moon. I felt like Eclipse was really an indulgence on the authors part. Some parts of this story could have been tacked on to New Moon. However the ending was satisfying, despite the unsatisfying encounters between Bella and Edward. I wont give anything away, apparently Edward wont either until he's married! Regardless, this one was good. I think it is an essential read for fans of the series.

Novel is excellent for its deeper social messages
4 Stars
The writing style is itself adolescent as it is filled with redundant adjectives and emotional triggers but GREAT storytelling -- with lots of social messages imbedded as teens struggle to resolve their own personal and social conflicts without the counsel of adults, most of whom couldn't possibly understand how to deal with today's social change, diversity and the methods of conflict resolution that youths often resort to.
If one reads the books at face value The Twilight Series looks like just another obsessive love story or romantic novel. But when one pays closer attention to the symbolism/metaphors of the characters and situations, you can see that the author is actually giving teens many secular tools for dealing with their personal and social obligations and conflicts. I don't know if she has done this consciously but she has done a good service to the THOUSANDS of youths who are reading these books.
At first, I didn't like the acquiescence and self-deprecation of the girl telling the story or the "know-it-all" patriarchy of her young lover, Edward. But they both quickly developed before my eyes as they grappled courageously with their personal and social issues. The book is VERY instructive to boys most of whom have one foot in contemporary life and the other in alternative worlds, about their social obligations - so the boys don't have to swear or be in urban gangs; they derive their exemplary values from their respect for family and/or otherwordly mythology. Anyway, I think it's very clever.
