I can't believe what I just read. It was frustrating at times but i loved every minute of it. I can't believe that she finally excepeted Edwards Proposal! ( jumps up and down) How does everyone else feel? What were your favorite parts? Side note: I feel really sorry for Jacob. But mad at how he used her sometimes. Its making me sick, I can't decide if I am more mad at him or pitty him! Its So Complicated!!

Another fabulous book! Whoo! They just keep on getting better... ;D I knew she'd give in to Edward eventually. My favorite part was when they were in the tent and Jacob and Edward were talking. That was soo amazing! OMG, I feel soo bad for Jake! It was so sad when he wanted to just give up being human! I personally couldn't make the choice between Edward and Jacob. Omg, that was horrible! Strangely, I never really was mad at Jake...

Yeah, I was never mad at him, either. If anything, I like him more after I read Eclipse. JUST not as Bella's boyfriend, but as a character

Oh, I really did get frustrated with Jacob. I do like him as a character, really I do, but just leave Bella alone!! My goodness. And I hated when he threatened suicide to make Bella ask him to kiss her. That was pretty low, you have to admit. I really hope that he imprints on someone during the next book...he deserves some happiness. With someone else. I did feel really bad for Edward. He was so understanding, and he comforted Bella while she was sobbing over her love for Jacob. I loved the part where she punched Jacob and broke her hand...it was too funny. And I also really enjoyed reading about Jasper's story, as well as Rosalie's. They were very interesting! And since I'm going for a novel here, I also really liked how the vampires and werewolves had to work together against a common enemy. That was great. There was much more action and humor in this book, which was awesome, and made it impossible to put the book down. What I didn't get is the sudden transition in Edward and Bella's relationship. In New Moon they can barely kiss, for fear of Edward losing control, and now all of a sudden it's possible for them to, um, do it? It kind of confused me. Although the image of Bella twirling her mustache and taking Edward's virtue was hilarious!! Okay, this is an inexcusably long post, so I'll just wait for someone else to comment...

Honestly, I don't know... Bella finally comes to grip that she actually likes Jacob and she tells him all that- which is really good too
But it just freaked me out so bad that she wanted, out of all the things she could possibly want while staying human, is to do THAT with Edward and NOT hilarious- it freaked me out SOO much!!
I know some people who say that they liked this book the best, but I don't know there was a little bit of action here And the vampires and werewolves working together kinda weirded me out- just a bit though, but your right, that was good
And we finally came back to the Twilight Edward that we all fell in luv with at the beginning and Bella just keeps distancing herself from the Twilight Bella she was originally It confused me too

I think she was too whiny in this book...all she seemed to do was complain about how the relationships weren't what they used to be...it got irritating after awhile. close to the ending, it got so confusing...bleh, I hate confusing.
Edward just seems a bit too perfect in this book. at least in the other two books, he had some faults, like Bella, but this one it seemed odd...and I'm not talking about looks, just how they act.
and while it may be well written, whoever was in charge of editing the book did a lousy job...

I have to agree with you. I constantly got annoyed at Bella and I think her character went downhill since the last two books. I also find it funny that Stephenie Meyer said: "All the Jacob-haters will feel bad for the poor boy after Eclipse" and a lot of Jacob-haters hated him even more... I didn't find the need for Bella to have sex a bad thing, or anything. I thought it showed how their relationship grew: How they are engaged and is ready to be intimite with each other. It sort of made up for 'New Moon' when Edward isn't even in the story for 75% of it... (or more) I think Eclipse was one of the better stories, but it wasn't as Amazing as New Moon or Twilight... I still read it three times, though.

I absolutely loved Eclipse. I found it amazing how all the relationships grew... The talking between Edward and Jake in the tent, how the love between Bella and Edward intensified, all the complications between Bella and Jake... I simply adore Eclipse. For me it is the best book of the Twilight Series by now. I didn't really enjoy New Moon, because it was just too sad to read. Eclipse was funnier again, more like Twilight. Although I agree with the confusion about Bella being that whiny and unhappy about herself. Eclipse thrilled me. I'm so happy that we know more about the Cullens now. Rosalie and Jasper told their stories. It was amazing to get to know them better. And of course - one of the most thrilling parts - Edward and Bella will marry! I mean, what else could be more fantastic than that? About Jacob... I didn't really feel sad for him... He was such a jerk in book three... But as some you said I wasn't mad at him either. I think, even I grew while reading Eclipse. After New Moon, I thought I wouldn't enjoy reading about Bella as a newborn vampire, but know I hope Steph will show us her first months or even years as one of the undead and - of course - Edward's wife. In my opinion Stephenie did a fantastic job with Elipse and I'm looking forward to Breaking Dawn.

I find it hilarious how everyone complains about Bella being whiny. She is and it's just funny! After Eclipse, I loved Jacob a lot more than I did in New Moon. It was really low for him to tell Bella he'd commit suicide if she didn't kiss him but I actually loved that scene. So... emotional! Omg, the whole... agreement/compromise thing was so weird! I mean, I love it and all how Edward and Bella are getting married but it's strange how they have to demand things from each other... I hope we get to see the scene where they tell Charlie they're engaged! That's gotta be soo funny! ;D

yeahh it will be interesting haha but i agree with petaldust on alot of points of loving jacob more but being low of him to give her an ultimatum .. its kinda weird how the edward want to get married soo badly but bella barly even wants to she just wants to be with him forever Lol like common i swear the way shes acting to him about gettin married is soo harsh LOL haha ... but the one thing i heard alot of ppl say is that bellas characater went down hill .. i dont think soo at all .. stephenie is tryin to portary bella as a human being but every oone doesnt stay the same, we all change in a way because of what we experinced ..so i think stephenie tryd to do that with bella .. im not sure if that makes sense but it does to me :S in a way haha

I was always kinda furious before Bella finally said yes to Edward. I mean... If I were Bella I would have said "YES YES YES!!!" in no time... I don't really get her point why she's so much against getting married... But... who cares... they WILL marry after all and that's what counts!

Everyone says stuff about Bella being a lousy character but her personality is very real and it just highlights how human she is. I like Bella's character and I think she's come a long way from Twilight.
