Book Review || Eclipse

So it took me years to read Eclipse, yes I have seen the movie before reading the book.

The reason that I haven't read the book ever is because it took me so long to read New Moon, which I hated with a passion. It let the whole series down in my opinion.


When I first pick the book up back in September I didnt get very far, like 50 pages or something which you can find here HERE

Bella is still grounded after running away to Italy to save Edward, and after Jake told Charlie about the moterbikes that they had been renovating in New Moon. Bella gets in to University, and Charlie starts lifting some of the rules that she has, as long as she goes and see's Jacob. There also have been killings in Seattle.

One day Jacob goes to Bella's school and without warning she leaves with him so that Alice couldn't see what she was doing. Bella is still wanting to become a vampire, and one night to stop her from seeing Jacob, Alice takes her to the Cullen house where Rosalie tells her how she became a Vampire.

Edward finally allows Bella to see Jacob, and one day she goes to see Jacob on the renovation, and she learns more about how Jacob and his friends became werewolf through Billy, Jacob's dad, I think that the chapter was a bit to stretched out and I read it twice because it was so long and the second time I read it all in one sitting to understand what was really going on.

The killings that have been happening in Seattle have been, believed by the Cullen's, that of an army of new born Vampires, which leads into how Jasper became a Vampire. I laughed so hard when Bella hit Jacob and broke her hand. The Graduation party was really boring. 

Most of the book I really struggled to get through. So much so that it took me a month to read it, where other books I have taken a lot less time to read the book. I felt that the fight scenes where bland. I would have liked to have seen more of how Jacob had got hurt in the book along side the fight with Riley and Victoria. I think that this book showed more of Edward's controlling nature


Personally I actually liked some parts of this book. I think the story of Rosalie's story is heartbreaking, it was one of my favorite chapters so far. The story of the legands and how they became warewolf was a good chapter but I think that I think it was a little to long and a little to confusing,

The book started out so well for me personally that I was really exited to actually read the book. I dont know which part really made me turn to dislike the book but it was either the Legand chapter or the one where Jasper tells his story about becoming a vampire and how they will deal with the new borns.

I found that the Voltori were pointless in this book and where only there because to fill the book up and make it longer.

But I will say that I am actually proud that I have finished the book
