Eclipse Special Edition (The Twilight Saga)

Being fortunate to spend a fair amount of time with teenagers (I am an adult) I had to see what this book was about because it is all they can talk about(the teens.)

I was muttering throughout the first book negative remarks. But I finished it and went looking for second in the series.

Read the second, lots more muttering, and upon finishing it quickly went out in search of the third in the seriews.

Stayed up late, quickly finished the third and immediately picked up the fourth book in the series (thinking ahead I had bought it when I found the third in the series - I knew I was hooked.)

Think the books are written over a three year period. The author signfigantly grows. The fourth book had much more content to it than the previous three. Characters weren't necessarily any fuller - but there sure were a lot of them! And I was able to keep track of them the way they were presented.

One of the reviewers made a comment about is it enough merit alone for the book that teenage girls are reading - comparing that to an anorexic eating a marshmallow.

Let's be a tad more positive here and look at the big picture. They now have four fairly large novels on their bookshelves, they will be lined up five deep around the corner and down the block to see the new movie, and let's not forget ... they have a common bond - they can talk for hours about "what it ...", and "don't you think Edward ..."

A rite of passage - a bit different from Nancy Drew - Brenda Starr - but nonetheless - it is and will be a part of this generation.

Rumor has it that the SAT's will be adding a question about the Cullen's family.

The author depicts the deep yearning, insecurity, and passion that only people in love display. The vampires and werewolves only serve to heighten the drama and suspense. I couldn't stop turning the pages of the first three books. I read them in less than a week and can't wait for the fourth. I hope the author continues with new vampire romance novels.

This book is a wonderful sequel to the first 2 books in the series, Twilight and New Moon. Basically, Edward and Bella's love is again progressed in this wonderful novel. Stephanie Myer did a fantastic job again. The last few chapters will leave you in suspense. Don't hesitate to get it. It's great.

If you are a fan of the."Twilight," series then this is definitely worth a read. Young adults and up will love this and the others in the series. It neatly ties in all of the characters and leaves you waiting for more. So much fun. It is one thrilling ride from beginning to end.

As with all the other Twilight novels, Stephanie has done very well with this edition. The saga continues wonderfully in this genuine page turner, I read it two days!! Bravo.
