Bella has
got her Edward back and their Love life is back on the tracks. Vampire Victoria
is on loose trying to kill Bella to avenge the death of his mate James. Jacob black is open about his feelings about
Bella and fighting hard so that she chooses him over Edward.
Bella is
set to become vampire after her graduation. She wants Edward to change her, Edward
wants to marry Bella. Jacob wishes Edward hadn’t came back and he would have
eventually had Bella. And Bella wants to have one ‘special human experience’
before she becomes a vampire.
There is a
love triangle and villain on the loose, and werewolves and Cullens are together
to fight with them.
So whom
does Bella choose, Werewolf or Vampire? Whether
they win over Victoria or not. What will Bella do to have her one ‘special
human experience’ before she becomes a vampire. or Whether Edward will make her
Vampire at all… ‘Eclipse’ gives all answers..
The best
thing about ‘Eclipse’:-
-
The saga
of teenage love. The confusion of loving two persons in a different way. Eclipse
appeals all the teenagers/ young adult who have gone through these feelings of ‘whether
I am in love or not’, he is my love, but I love that one a little too’. For those
who read it in their mature age, it would be a pleasant de-ja-vu of our
school-college days.
-
When you
go through the pages, you cannot help but admire how ordinarily the writer has portrayed
the central characters. The protagonists though extra ordinary in a way, behave
like what very normal persons do. I can almost feel Bella’s emotions over two
guys, her anxiety over the unknown life of a vampire, chosen by her, Jacob’s
fury over loving the girl who loves somebody else, or has chosen life most
hated him, Edward’s guilt that he is taking life away from his Bella.
-
The plot- the plots and subplots mingle in
each other without superimposing on each other. Here’s a love triangle, and a preparation
of fight against Victoria, both the events happens throughout the book, and circumstances
follow naturally...
-
The characters
– Bella’s confused, she loves Edward but cannot hurt Jacob also. Edward is
determined to fight for Bella to save her life and have her in his life. Jacob
is impatient to have Bella and save her from Vampire life. The characters have
so well progressed from previous series, like people growing gradually…

The quotes,
the way Edward and Jacob express their love for Bella made me cry… I wanted to
be Bella myself, I think it’s the most winning part of the book.
Eclipse always
had expectation to be better than its prequels, and progress in the love life
of Edward- Bella, but feelings of Bella for Jacob was indeed a happy surprise. Like any other book
of the series, it made me carve for more and pick the next.
Overall 5/5 read and best in the series…
The famous
quotes:
“If we
could bottle your luck, we’d have a weapon of mass destruction on our hands.”
“The way
you move — you orient yourself around him without even thinking about it. When
he moves, even a little bit, you adjust your position at the same time. Like
magnets… or gravity. You’re like a… satellite, or something.”
“I wanted
to make both of them get out of their cars and shake hands and be friends — be Edward
and Jacob rather than vampire and werewolf. It was as if I had those two
stubborn magnets in my hands again, and I was holding them together, trying to
force nature to reverse herself…”
“But if you
ever bring her back damaged again — and I don’t care whose fault it is; I don’t
care if she merely trips, or if a meteor falls out of the sky and hits her in
the head — if you return her to me in less than the perfect condition that I
left her in, you will be running with three legs. Do you understand that,
mongrel?”
“I had no
right to want you — but I reached out and took you anyway. And now look what’s
become of you! Trying to seduce a vampire.”
“Isabella
Swan? I promise to love you forever — every single day of forever. Will you
marry me?”
“When I
left you, Bella, I left you bleeding. Jacob was the one to stitch you back up
again. That was bound to leave its mark — on both of you. I’m not sure those
kinds of stitches dissolve on their own. I can’t blame either of you for
something I made necessary. I may gain forgiveness, but that doesn’t let me
escape the consequences.”
“I used to
think of you that way, you know.
Like the
sun. My personal sun. You balanced out the clouds nicely for me.”
He sighed.
“The clouds I can handle. But I can’t fight with an eclipse.”
“It had not
been Edward and Jacob that I’d been trying to force together, it was the two
parts of myself, Edward’s Bella and Jacob’s Bella. But they could not exist
together, and I never should have tried”
