Lost in Stephenie Meyer’s Eclipse
I figured I had better get this posted before I completely forget this book, because it was a tad on the forgettable side. It was much better than New Moon, though that really isn’t difficult to do, but there wasn’t really anything ‘stand out’ about this one. I was somewhat surprised to see I was partially wrong in my predictions about this book in my review of New Moon, while I was never truly convinced that the Quileute werewolves & the Cullens would war – Meyers seems too clear cut on the good/bad issue to let any of her ‘good’ characters become the ‘bad’ ones – a war was the most predictable next step, so Meyers created another group of vampires to play the bad guys. Not exactly what I expected, but expected none the less.
At least this time round the action felt more spread out through the book, so it wasn’t as sluggish as the first two, however true to form, it was full of dull descriptions, and it was for the most part predictable with the characters taking painfully long to come to conclusions any reader with half a brain would come to 100 pages back. Again Meyers style is poor, but still a quick, easy read if you have nothing better to do.
