Teenage vampire love saga continued
September 26th, 2007 Kelly - Central
A previous post featuring Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight made me want to comment upon the latest in Bella and Edward’s teen vampire love saga, Eclipse. Edward and Bella have returned from Europe and stepped back into their lives. It seems that everything is going back to normal, but Bella’s relationship with Jacob has changed forever due to the hatred between werewolves and vampires, in fact she has been forbidden to see him. Bella’s strong desire to be Jacob’s friend clashes with Edward’s desire to keep Bella safe. She betrays his wishes and begins seeing Jacob. Bella’s relationship with Jacob begins a powerful love triangle storyline. Who will Bella choose? Will she agree to marry Edward and be converted to a vampire?
Bella’s love life is the main plot line, but Meyer also provides interesting backstory on Rosalie and the werewolves of La Push. This book does not have the action of the previous titles in the series, but the emotional struggles move the plot along at a quick pace. I was extremely upset by Bella’s choice in the end, what did you think and how will this effect the next book in the series?
The wait for this book could be a little long, so if you need to satisify your teenage vampire love saga craving try Tantalize by Cynthia Leitich Smith.

Fangtastic review, Kelly! (I couldn’t resist.) Seriously, though, these books are so hot - almost as hot as Harry Potter, for kids and adults.

i’ve read this book an i am nuthin close to bein gay or biesextual (no offense to the gays) I’m a guy an i’ve read these books but not cuz they are romance novels, but because they are full of action, and have some realistic situations in them that i can relate to an others i can’t…either way the books are good and the series should continue!

I am very impressed with the way all the “Twilight” novels “pull” you into them. When reading you are so drawn into the lives of Edward and Bella that you seem to forget about the reality of your actual own life around you..lol They are easy reads and I LOVED them. Only comparable to Rowling’s Harry Potter. I did get a chance to watch the movie “Twilight” last night and I have to say that I was completely disappointing in the movie. It did not live up to my standards and Bella & Emmett’s were the only ones who were able to actually portray their characters to my liking. Edwards acting was horrific and I actually chuckled quite a few times at the “cheesiness” of the anger scenes. Very poorly portrayed and did the book no justice! It was very comparable to a low budget horror flick. Sad. I felt no chemistry between Edward’s and Bell’s characters and I sincerely wish I had not seen the movie because I am re-reading the books and can not get the poor acting out of my head.

I think this book was awesome but I sldo think Jacob and Bella could have been more than friends that would have made the storie more interesting ut it was still awesome but Bella is to excited about becoming a vampire does she want to be a vampire more than she wants edward? I already know the answer because i read all four books and the ending is sweet, sexy, and tasty!!! if you know what i mean
