Twilight is the second book in Stephanie Meyer's saga about Edward, Bella and Jacob. One thing I like about finding this series when the last book is about to be published, is that I get to read the story quicker. And anyone who knows me, knows I like to read the ending first -- though I wouldn't read the last book first to read the ending -- I just read the ending of each book first. I'm so bad! Still, I like that I don't have to wait very long to read book 4, which is coming out soon.
Meyer states in a video interview on Amazon that book 4 will close the story, but she doesn't eliminate the idea that she might write more of this type. Her next book after this is sci fi.
If Twilight is about finding true love, and New Moon is about losing true love, then Eclipse is about choosing true love. Stephanie Meyer
In this book Bella's father encourages her to date Jacob, since Edward has taken off for parts unknown, and Bella is a wreck because of it. Jacob has his own problems, known to Bella, but unknown to her father. Edward, who still loves Bella, has the idea that he must protect her from himself and from the life she would lead (or not lead) as a vampire.
Along the way the reports of her death are greatly exaggerated; we learn more of Alice's power and its limitation; Edward decides to offer himself up as a vampire sacrifice to the vamps in Italy (who are not animal vamps) since he can't imagine living without Bella; Bella has to go to his rescue; we learn more of the back stories of the other vamps; and...and...and...
We know it will turn out good, since there is still book 3 (and book 4).
I found the book a little contrived. The story was interesting. Let's just get on with it! I give it a 2.5.
What do you give it? On to book 3...
