Meyer, Stephenie. Eclipse. NY: Little Brown, 2007. 629 pages. (Fantasy Series / Vampires)The book I chose is Eclipse, by Stephenie Meyer. The main characters in the book are Isabella Swan (Bella); her vampire boyfriend Edward Cullen, his brothers and sisters Alice, Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie, Esme, and Carlisle; Bella’s father Charlie, her mother Renee; Jacob Black; and the vampire after Bella, Victoria. Victoria is after Bella because the Cullens killed her mate. The book takes place mostly in Forks, Washington. This is the third book in its series. In this book, the Volturi, the leaders of all vampires, want Edward to turn Bella into a vampire because of her immunity to the abilities (like making someone feel pain, read minds, see into the future, make people feel happy) vampires acquire when they become vampires. By the end of the book Bella is not a vampire yet. Bella’s best friend, Jacob, a werewolf, does not want Bella to be turned into a vampire. He wants Bella to leave Edward and love him. Meanwhile, a vampire named Victoria is after Bella to avenge her mate that was killed by the Cullens. Victoria makes an army of vampires and plans to attack Bella. Alice, who can see into the future sees this and gets the werewolves to help them defeat Victoria. Will Victoria kill Bella, or will the werewolves and vampires be able to kill Victoria? You can find out by reading Eclipse.
I really enjoyed this book. It was the best of the three. You were always wondering what would happen next, who Bella would choose, and whether or not Victoria would kill her. I would recommend this book for people who like vampires and suspense. It has a little bit of romance because Edward loves Bella. It is a long book, but it is worth it. The final fight is fun to read because Victoria is finally killed after two books of trying to hunt her down.
