Possible spoilers, be warned.
Alright, I'll admit it. I cried a few times while reading this one, much to my *chagrin*. I honestly can't even remember what parts had me crying, though. So... make of that what you will.
The worst thing about this book (for me) is that Edward is back and just as controlling as ever. At least, he's a domineering jerk for as long is convenient to the story. Then he suddenly is Mr. Understanding while Jacob takes the wheel of the creepmobile by practically assaulting Bella. I don't understand why fans of this series swoon over Edward and Jacob. They spend most of their time talking down to the heroine of the books in some misguided attempt to "protect" her, because apparently girls are too helpless to take care of themselves. And when they're not "protecting" her, they're blatantly being possessive of her and semi-stalking her. Jealousy is NOT an attractive quality in a partner, boys and girls. Neither is kissing someone against her will.
A plus to Eclipse is that the plot outside of the love triangle is more fleshed out than in the previous two. There are mysterious murders happening in nearby Seattle, and Bella and the Cullens suspect that vampires are behind it. Bella is still also under threat from Victoria and the Volturi, which adds a dash of suspense.
Similarly with Twilight and New Moon, the book is entertaining for the most part, even if it isn't very well written. The whole series is sort of like a paperback soap opera, with sparkly vampires. Engrossing and fun, but without any real substance.
