Product Description:
Readers captivated by Twilight and New Moon will eagerly devour Eclipse, the much anticipated 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?

Rating : - But what's going to happen?
Enjoyed all three books. Agree with many here, that Eclipse is the weakest, but still an enjoyable read. I really liked that Bella seems more to consider the unpleasant aspects of becoming a vampire. The thought really occurred to me too...what if the physical elements that seem to bind Edward and Bella together (much sensual appeal like scent and touch), change after she becomes a vampire? Has anyone ever willingly become a vampire before? Will Bella's eagerness to be transformed affect what actually happens to her? No one else ever seems to have wanted to become a vampire before.

I was much amused by Bella's attempt to try to seduce Edward. Seemed realistic to me. She is a contemporary girl yet he still has the mores of someone born 100 years ago.

In Eclipse, Bella is physically obsessed with Edward. But there is another physical obsession looming on the horizon that Bella, in her youth, is totally oblivious to: the desire to bear children. Rosalie hints at the pain of being denied children when she shares her history with Bella. Also, we learn that Esme "makes do" with her "sons" and "daughters" but still, Esme did end her human life by committing suicide over a lost baby. Since Stephenie Meyer is a mom herself, she must know those overwhelming urges, once you've found your life partner, to create a family. Will Bella realize all of what she's giving up before it's too late?
