 Best in the series yet! Can't wait for #4! August 7, 2008
This book was excellent, just like the previous ones. I am a junior high teacher and wanted to read these books to talk to my students about them, but I got hooked on them myself. Excellent books!!
Another Great Book August 7, 2008
What can I say. Stephanie Meyers rocks. Even though this series is slightly different from the usual Shock and Horror books that I enjoy,I have to say I loved them. Adding to that, any book that has my teenagers fighting over them and yelling "aren't you finished yet?", gets my vote any day of the week.
Great product. August 7, 2008
The book came quickly, within a week, and was in great condition- no nicks or bent pages, etc. I would definitely buy from this merchant again.
 Addictive August 6, 2008
Okay. The main lure of this whole series for me is its pure addictive quality. Just for that, it gets four stars. But Bella is beginning to get on my nerves...she doesn't DO anything! She's only the one everyone else is trying to protect. She does have a redeeming capacity to love and forgive, but she's not the Tamora Pierce or J. K. Rowling hero I love to root for.
This book was my favorite so far, I think, but the whole thing about Bella having to shatter all of Jacob's hopes and dreams makes me sad. I wish she'd make up her mind already!
 Room for improvement, but still good August 6, 2008
First off, I really enjoyed this book. The descriptions of the newborn vampire wars, the werewolves' history and pack life, and the vampires' pasts were fascinating. I also liked how the vampires each have their own powers. However, I do have some criticisms.
(SPOILERS AHEAD)
Edward's character didn't seem all that wonderful. In fact, he seemed more or less psychotic in parts. He disabled Bella's car so she couldn't see Jacob. He had Alice hold her hostage. He dictated who she could and couldn't be friends with. I know he did it for her "protection," but it seemed extremely controlling. Edward's behavior often was excused by his looks. And then at the end, he suddenly became spineless and docile--to the point where he didn't even object to Bella cheating on him.
I thought Bella's sudden revelation about Jacob was out of place. She hadn't seemed to be in love with him before, at all. It was also unsettling to me that she only realized it when he coerced her into a kiss. How is that supposed to sound--a borderline sexual assault made her finally see the light?
I also couldn't help but wonder, is Bella supposed to be average or extraordinary? I know the story is meant to be about an ordinary girl who finds herself in remarkable circumstances, but everyone is always telling her how "different" and "special" she is. So which is it? Is she average or is she special? If she's meant to be unusual or unique, she doesn't come across that way.
That aside, I did enjoy the story. I liked the background information, the wolf coven, and Alice's sense of humor. The return of the Volturi was very engaging, and I loved the final battle. It was worth the read.
