ECLIPSE by Stephenie Meyer (R110, Atom - distributed by Penguin Books SA)
Rating: 3/5
Reviewer: Jared Orlin
It’s vampires versus werewolves in the third volume of the popular Twilight series about a human girl, Bella Swan, who falls head over heels in love with a vampire boy, Edward Cullen.
There’s a lot more action this time. For starters there’s the vampire army that’s chomping its way through nearby Seattle and seems to be heading Bella’s way, as well as the hostility between Edward and Jacob who are both vying for Bella’s love.
The love triangle that started in the previous book, New Moon, is the central theme of this novel and ends with an accepted proposal and one of the guys being left brokenhearted - but those are the only plot details we’re giving away. The books are getting more soppy though and Bella’s whining will surely grate even the most loyal fans by now. Still if you’ve come this far, you might as well keep on reading.
