Most amazing book!
This is the third book of the twilight saga. You don't have to read the first two books for everything to make sense the author sneaks in past knowledge to help you understand, but I do recommend reading the first two first. This book has everything from teenage drama to supernatural creators like vampires and werewolves. Bella who is the main character goes through romantic struggles with Edward who is a vampire, and Jake who is a werewolf. Both boys hate each other and compete to win Bella's love. Both boys start to work out their differences, and work together when Bella's life got in danger.
Meyer themed each of her books to a specific book or play. Eclipse was themed after Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte. She brings up that book many times, and quotes it several times as well. The genre is Teen fiction thriller romance. The book got that genre because all the main characters are teenagers, it is not based on a true story, a lot of suspense, and is a love story.
If you are one of those people that base which book you read of the cover, let me explain it to you. The cover is not very exciting, and makes the look boring with no action. There is meaning behind it, and it is just not some random ribbon. The broken ribbon represents choice, as in the book Bella must choose between Edward or Jacob. Also the author stated the ribbon represents the idea that Bella is unable to completely break away from her human life. Don't judge this book by its cover.
If you don't like love stories then this book is not for you. The whole book is full of romantic struggles with Bella choosing Jake or Edward. Both boys are fictitious with (more popular) Edward a vampire, and (less popular) Jake a werewolf. I am not a big fan of the authors writing, and I don't like Bella's personality through out the book especially when she is depressed. If you can look over that it is a really good book, with a great story line, and other great characters.
The characters in this book are one of things that make this a really good book. Stephenie Meyer thought of twilight in a dream and many of her characters came from the dream or people she knows. You have three groups of people the humans, vampires, and werewolves. The humans are Bella's family and friends the most common one is her dad. Vampires are Bella's boyfriend Edward, and his family The Cullen's. His family has my favorite character Alice, because she brings a lot of humor in the book and gives me a good laugh. Lastly the Werewolves, mainly Jake, and the pack of wolves he is with. The villain of the book is a female vampire who threatens Bella's life. When this happens it caused the vampires, and werewolves work together to achieve victory.
In conclusion it was a very good book with more action then meets the cover. There are some great characters that make the book even more exciting. The book shows the presence of teenage love as an inhuman force. It shows that even if you hate someone real bad you are willing to work out your differences to help someone you care about. There are several principals in the book that can refer to you in your life. With so many different types of characters there is always one you fall in love with. It is a worth reading series.
