But in the book, I was so fascinated with Jacob and Edward that I couldn't make myself pick a favorite. If that wasn't happening, Edward was grabbing both sides of Bella's face to kiss her or talk to her. I can't tolerate weak female characters, which is probably why I love Alice, Victoria and Jane so much. She had no outside interests and seemed to live suffocatingly on Earth just to be with Edward.and Jacob. I could sympathize with him for really being in love with the girl, but I just couldn't convince myself that any man would ever be this pitiful even for someone he's in love with. from anybody and know how to control themselves. I don't remember her being this pitiful in the movie, but she was pathetic in the book.
I honestly just wanted somebody to kill Bella so she'd stop whining. I wanted him to give it a rest, too. Every single character in here was pursing their lips. I just can't imagine two men (werewolf or vampire or human) being this patient about a woman constantly running to the other's side. I never lost interest in the book. It was all right. This book was one of those novels where you go, "I can tell a woman wrote this because she's creating characters that SHE would like to date, not men in real life." In the movie, the guys had a little more testosterone and didn't seem so weak, but in the book, they almost kissed Bella's feet after she kicked them in the groin.
His backstory was interesting and so was Rosalie's. That should only happen with Becky from "Roseanne.") I liked her ONLY when she would find out more about the minds of Edward and Jacob. I understand Edward felt guilty about leaving and wanted Bella to make her own decision, but Jacob just sounds flat out desperate. I think the movie gave a more realistic look at the guys and they just seemed less weak. In "New Moon," I was Team Jacob. Bella spent 75 percent of the book crying, screaming for Edward, begging for him to be wherever she was, running to hug him, trying to bribe him into having sex with her and manipulating Jacob. Sheesh.
It was disturbing and diluted the book a little for me.Pros: In "Twilight," I was Team Edward mainly because I didn't know enough about Jacob to form an opinion. Can the girl not even hold her neck up without his assistance. Did I like the book. "Twilight" and "New Moon" (books and movies) were much better and more realistic, as far as werewolves and vampires can go. Although I think Bella is incredibly disrespectful to her father (what daughter is going to say her own father would "get into trouble" by saying something to her. In "Eclipse" the movie, I couldn't pick a side.
They're strong characters who don't take any B.S. I honestly think Meyer should've gotten some male feedback about the male characters. I'm hoping in "Breaking Dawn" that they remember they have a third leg again. But other times it's very difficult to decipher between the two, and this book was one of those times. But I loved the movie.
She was so glued to Edward's side that I wondered why she didn't ask him to wipe her after she used the bathroom, too. I wanted to reach right through the book, punch her in the nose and tell her to "Woman up." Meyer has great dialogue and can keep a book moving even when I can't stand the main character, but when I read "Breaking Dawn," I seriously hope I don't read one more line about "pursed lips." Nobody purses their lips that much. I found it disturbing that he bribed Alice into kidnapping Bella, but I'm glad he snapped out of it because that was a psychotic move. I enjoyed the conversations. I was happy to learn more about Jasper though outside of him wanting to suck the blood out of everybody.
Cons: Sometimes you have to read a book for what it is and stop trying to say what you'd do in that situation. Not one chapter went by and sometimes not even more than a few pages before someone pursed their lips. While I do think Meyer laid the love of a man on a little too thick and unrealistic, when they were being reasonably realistic, I liked them both.
Edward hears and does nothing. horrible. While the Cullens and wolves prepare to fight, Edward, Bella, and Jacob escape to a mountain in hopes of hiding. Charlie is as dead as the fish he brings home from his endless fishing trips. She constantly is trying to tell Bella to think of her decision to be a vampire, and Bella doesnt listen. Charlie hears about this. What a great entertaining story.
Edward is a stalker and an obsessive boyfriend. The story ends with the newborns and Victoria getting their heads ripped off. Jacob forcably kisses Bella, and Bella, being the backstabbing little ho she is starts to kiss him back. It makes no sense whatsoever. Quil and the rest of the boys are cool. (unlike a for-no-reason- sulky, mopy, and dramatic Bella). Skip it. Wolf pack- Leah is my favorite out of the entire series.
The book should be centred round her. No dreams, no aspirations, no wishes but to marry Edward, become a vampire and live with him forever. That of course means every vampire and werewolf in Forks has to protect Bella. Yes, Edward is a smug, obssessive boyfriend. Jacob is love-sick puppy dog with nothing better to do but whine about his non-connection with Bella. But Bella is so amazingly perfect and has everything the way she wants it, of course. Rosalie learned from her past experiences, Bella sucks in all the attention she gets from her experiences, and then causes drama to get more attention. The pack is the most normal, and they are wolves.
Bella is supposadly in love with Edward and Jacob. Meanwhile, Victoria is putting together a newborn vampire army in order to kill Bella, to get back at Edward for killing James. Yep. A backstabbing cheating little ho like that would be dropped by her boyfriend, but nooo. Along the way, Jacob sexually assualts Bella many times, including kissing her. No goals. Rosalie is down to earth and real while Bella is airheaded and vain.
but when she kisses Jacob back. Edward & Jacob- Ah, Bella's boytoys. (Bella punches him. Friends wouldnt come to her. Charlie, The Cullens- Charlie is a dead fish, only appearing to show his appreciation for Jacob when Jacob sexually assaults his daughter. Woohoo.
She is bitter and mean but she has her reasons for it. Sam is controlling. She has no hobbies. Eclipse plot- If there even IS a plot here. Bella- Bella is so disgusting and plain. Every character`has a large amount of flaws to make Bella seemingly perfect despite her rediculous clumsiness. In all, Eclipse is. Bella is selfish, whiny, dull, backstabbing, heartless, and as boring as the books are.
You read that right. But it is so obvious who she is going to pick this book isnt even needed. I thought she was bad before. While Edward is off scouting the next morning, Jacob and Bella hang out a bit.
The books are boring and plotless, with no conflicts or no meaning to it. Boys would not trail after her.
Renee is airheaded. He is not hurt at all, but Bella breaks her hand.
In life, that girl would have nothing. And out of the Cullens, Rosalie remains my favorite.
What). Spoilers and a load of Twilight bashing is ahead I've hated Twilight forever now.
Instead of being angry at Jacob like any normal father would, he compliments Jacob and is proud of him. Jacob is a helpless little puppy, getting kicked around, and led on by Bella.
It's a easy reading book, and you'll have to fight against finishing it in one night. It's a love Story in-deed. If you read the first 2 of the Saga, you'll need to read this one. I personally liked the first 2 best but its still a great book. Eduard's love for her is breathtaking, and everything about them is as magical as can be.
when i saw the previews for Twilight and New moon i thought vampires and werewolves.retarded well then my friend talked me into reading Twilight u fell in love so then i read New moon and eclipse i love eclipse its better then the 1st and 2nd but not better than the 4th because a lot more happens in it. But no seriously read Twilight and New moon then read eclipse AMAZING
More than pleased. :) Seller was prompt and very efficent. Shipped faster than expected. Shipped perfectly well. Product was well taken care of. No defects of any kind. Would purchase from seller again.
