The first book of the series of Twilight was brilliant, the second one following wasn't far behind. The third book however left a sour distaste in my mouth. The development of a certain relationship of two characters was taken a few steps too far and it seemed more out of desperation to keep the readers reading to get to the happy ending everyone wanted instead of the interesting plot and character development found in the first two books. However hopefully the fourth book can balance out the disappointment found in the third book.

The obsession continues with the addition of this book to the Twilight saga. I can't seem to get enough of Bella, Edward, Jacob and all the Cullens!
2008-08-19 - Best Series Ever!
The Twilight Saga is a must read! But make sure you don't have any pressing immediate issues to attend to because you will simply neglect everything but the books. Amazing! I could not put them down and each one was better then the next. This book tugs at your heart strings a bit - but so worth it. Stephanie Meyer does not dissapoint and I hope that she continues to write such thriling, entertaining and intense literature. 5 Stars!!!
2008-08-19 - Was this a Fantasy Book or a Sexual Fantasy Book?
I am not sure if the author was intending to make Bella like this or it just happened as she was writing...
I did enjoy the first two books and was enjoying the third one till Bella started being so ANNOYING... The author did eliminate the beauty of the book and turned Bella into a cheap selfish girl... I mean come on if this book is read by teens look at the message its delivering to them, there are many reading this book and obssessed by it...
I am not a Teen yet I love every now and then to read fantasy books and let my mind drift away... but reading this book all I saw was images of Bella making out with whoever passes her way... Its good that she didnt make out with Victoria... I dont know what happened but after all the smooching and shudderring that bella felt every time she touched someone, I start to wonder if this was a Fantasy book or a Sexual Fantasy Book...
There is a thin line between love and physical touch... and that is where the author lost it... I cant see Bella except like a self manipulating girl who wants to have everything... The author forgot that her target audience were mainly teens and she removed morals and ethics from the story...
I was really disappointed and decided to take a break before I read Book 4... Yet I cannot deny that the author has her way with words which makes you keep reading even if you dont like what you see...
PS: Read The host if you get the chance its a good book...
2008-08-18 - Eclipse Twilight Saga Book 3 (Paperback)
I absolutely love this series & the book was in somewhat acceptable condition when I received it.
However that's not what was promised. I purchased the book NEW & when I received it, the cover was completely scratched up.
I thought it could have been something in the mailing, but it was well-protected in the box. So I don't know why Amazon would send me a NEW book that LOOKED incredibly tatterd.
The series itself is fantastic!
