I totally agree with everyone so far!!! i was in tears when bella was kissing jacob. i mean come on you were engaged and cheating on your fiance!!! i felt so bad for edward!!! i was definetly looking forward to seeing her a vampire too!! boo hoo. i even stared a slogan of :vote: bella swan vampire '07 but that didnt come true so i had to change it to '08!!
she better leave jacob alone in the next book or i will be very angry. i have heard enough of him!! he better keep running and never come back! how can he think that bella wants him over the gorgeous Edward!! bella is just confused and feels bad for jacob because he is just a loser and no one else likes him!!
i really had to express myself sorry!! lol

I agree 100%, I can't believe she was crying becuase she 'loved' Jacob and had to leave him to be with Edward, her one and only true love. And when she kissed jacob? What was that about? Gross. And I felt really bad for Edward because he was 'ok' with it, and we let her leave him so she could be with Jacob. And i would have been ok, if Edward did get a little upset with her for kissing him, but he didn't. and i felt that there was way too much Jacob in this book, i mean there wasn't enough of Edward? Do you know what I mean? And i bet everyone was waiting for her to turn into a vampire in this book, but know we have to wait a whole year and a half for her to finally be with Edward, for good!!
p.s. these are the best books on earth, i don't think i could ever live without them, they truly changed my life!! I can't describe how much these books mean to me, the are too grand for words!! ( sorry 'bout that, but these books are simply amazing!!)
GO TEAM EDWARD!!!♥

I was disappointed too. And I am not a teenager and have no Edward fantasy. I looked at the first two strictly as an entertaining read. This one was not. I just thought it lacked some of the intensity of the first two books. It almost became like a vampire/werewolf West Side Story.
I think the author lost focus, and you are completely right that the loss of focus surrounded the character of Jacob. It was as though she wasn't sure where she was going herself. Yes, there is such a thing as polyamory (the love of more than one person), but there were times when I felt the urge to smack Bella and tell her to stop being a CT (if you know what I mean). I hope the next one is better, because this one was not great. Pax - C

I agree with the people above although i can see Bella's side too.
When edward left the only thing that made her whole was Jacob so they were bound to feel somehing for each other.
What i can't understand was why she felt that it was love....the same kind of love she felt for edward? it's impossible.
Jacob really annoyed me for treating the whole thing like a game....and then after making out that he loved Bella more than Edward did when Edward was the one trading in everything for her happiness.
I believe that she was letting Jacob get into her mind when she asked him to kiss her....she's so niave!
As for her kissing him back, doesn't she think that maybe the only reason she wanted to kiss him like this is because she cant with Edward?
Her passsion for Edward, and his rules, together that must be very frustrating.
Also she must have felt like she owed Jacob her love just not to hurt him.
so i don't believe that she truely loves him in that way....she is lying to herself
and that belief is keeping me happy lol
This was definately my favourite book, i loved hearing Jasper and Rosalie's stories. and Alice had more of a part, she's so funny!
“To me, Alice, you are my sister.”
“Words!” she growled.
haha!
we got to see the funnier part of Edward too
"Both engines have exploded and we’re falling in a death spiral toward the earth.
I’d wait till we were close enough to the ground, get a good grip on you, kick out the wall, and jump. Then I’d run you back to the scene of the accident, and we’d stumble around like the two luckiest survivors in history."
lol brilliant book :D

I just finished Eclipse and frankly I am sick of Bella whining about everything. Jacob is a great guy and she is being a whinny brat. He deserves so much better. And frankly so does Edward. For the two of them to rise above their natural distaste and distrust of one another to protect her....and then she makes unreasonable demands on the both of them that could have cost them both their very lives....God I could just smack her!!! She needs a big dose of non-whinny reality. She is no where near mature enough to change....I wonder if Edward and the family will realize that before they get married.
Yes I was VERY disappointed in Eclipse.....and once again we are all left wondering if there will be a fourth book....and frankly I don't know if I will buy a fourth Bella whine-fest!!!

yes. i finished it about two days ago. and i hated it. i'm team Edward, no doubt in my mind. the only parts with Edward in them were when Bella (who i wanted to kill throughout the whole book) was asking if they could do IT, or she was crying about jacob (who i also wanted to kill). i was definitely unimpressed by this one. there was just too much Jacob and i didnt like him at all, and never have. he's just so persistant and annoying. and i can't believe Bella, if she is soo in love with Edward, would even THINK about Jacob.
anyways, my rant is over. but i did throw my book across the living room whenever her and jacob kissed. and i was so freaking mad when she made out with him. i didnt even understand why she was.

When Bella said that she loved Jacob and kissed him i wanted to thought the book across the room and burn it!!!!! but i didn't because it had Edward in it. it made me sooooooooooooooooooooooooo ANGRY!!!!! i still get upset when i think about it. I don't like Jacob and i love Edward. he deserves someone who loves him with her WHOLE heart, not just 99% and 1% Jacob or anything stupid like that.
HOW can Bella DO this to Edward!???????!!!!!!?
Worse than that, she kissed jacob when she was already ENGEAGED!!! i WANT TO CRY!!!!!!! she was basicly cheating on Edward!!!!
i want to scream!!!

that is horrible!! first of all, i am married but if my best friend just told me that he was going to go off and kill himself unless i kissed him... you can BET that i would do it. are you kidding me???
and edward told her to do what she needed to do. he only has her best interest in mind, which is what true love is really about. IF it would make her happier to be with jacob and have her life in less jeopardy he would gladly have her live her life in happiness and safety. it just so happens that she could never be happy without him and i'm glad about that but jacob is still a huge thing in her life. if it hadn't been for jacob she would still be catatonic from new moon so don't hate jacob, be thankful that she had him in her time of need.
i am team edward all the way but i am not a jacob hater. when you love someone you fight for them and jacob does love her, it would be disappointing if he just walked away because there was someone else.
