Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer

Over the summer, a really book I read was Eclipse, written by Stephanie Meyer. It’s a magical realism that can make you smile, cry, and make you want to read it over and over again. The book is about how Bella Swan, a stubborn, yet confused teenager is once again surrounded with danger. She has to choose between Edward Cullen, her vampire boyfriend, or Jacob Black, one of her best friends. Although Bella and Edward are in a big relationship, Jacob thinks that he might be better for her. The only problem is, is that one of the decisions she’s making either ends to life or death. The thing that is really unique and special about this book is how the author puts so much vivid imagery and detail. She makes all the characters seem to come alive.
A really huge conflict throughout the book is external and internal conflict with Jacob and Edward. It seems to be a man vs. man situation. Jacob and Edward both don’t like and agree with each other, and they are both fighting for Bella’s love. While Edward seems a bit unsure of himself and how he and Bella’s relationship would turn out, Jacob seems to feel a bit jealous of how Bella and Edward have a stronger relationship. The overall message of this book seems to be, that although people can go through tough and hard situations, don’t worry that much, because it usually turns out alright.
I really loved and enjoyed this book!! I wouldn’t really recommend it for little kids, but I would definitely recommend it for teenagers and adults. (they would understand it a lot better) =)
