Discuss Eclipse...
Meh, I've decided that the more I read this series, the more Bella annoys the hell out of me. I still love Edward and Jacob. The epilogue nearly made me cry. Maybe in the next book he'll find his ... whatchamacallit. Life-mate or whatever. Just please don't run away and be a wolf forever. And that time when Bella was trying to seduce Edward... most awkward pre-sex scene EVER. |

I agree with you, Bella seriously needs to be slapped...but on the other hand, Jacob could have been better about the whole thing. I mean, the way he twisted everything she said into making it what he wanted, and the way he was always trying to force her to choose him....I know he loved her and all, but still...

QUOTE jacob was being really annoying with the whole, oh! you're in love with me, you just don't know itttt i'd just take a guy down to the ground if he said that to me. THANK you! While the pre-sex thing was incredibly awkward, I'm sad to say that I've seen/heard of more awkward things. Like a girl thinking she could turn one of my gay guy friends straight....*shudder* messy business there. |

I agree with you, Bella seriously needs to be slapped... she deserves more than a slap. i can't believe she didn't know she was in love with jacob and took her sooo long to realize it. i don't blame jacob for misunderstanding everything she said or did when she was with him. although it was annoying he kept trying to get bella to choose. still, i can see his side. i just can't get over the fact that edward was so noble after learning bella and jacob made out. i mean i saw it coming but i didn't believe it. i never had any sympathy for jacob, i never liked him. but now.. i feel bad for him. it must be tough that your first love chooses the vampire over the werewolf. i mean i would too you know haha but still, ouch. the epilogue made me cry to be honest. definitely made the happyness of the end of the last chapter go away. poor jacob. ![]() hahah and i couldn't agree more with the awkward pre-sex scene. i couldn't stop laughing. but eclipse wasn't what i expected. whoaa i wrote too much, forgive me but i just got done with the book. :] |

I didn't like Jacob in this book. I mean, I know he loves Bella but he didn't have to force himself on her.
I could forgive the first kiss. But the second kiss? No. And that was when she was engaged to Edward. And the fact that he was like, "KISS ME OR I'LL GO GET MYSELF KILLED." WTF. And the fact that Bella fell for that? Idiot. And what 16 year old goes telling a girl he's her sun? Even Edward barely gets away with that kind of talk and he's got a 100 years on Jacob. Bella is just super annoying. It really bugged me that she kept repeating that she was hurting because Jacob was hurting, his pain was her pain, she caused it, he was a part of her, yadda, yadda, yadda... And she was like, so careful with the way she acted in regards to his feelings but she didn't even seem to give a shit about Edward's. Jacob would be all happy and then turn into an ass and get sad on her for being with Edward and she'd be mad at him and then see his stupid sad face and cave in to him. Because he was in pain. But hello, EDWARD WAS IN PAIN, TOO!!!! WTF. That shit pissed me off. She's hanging out with Jacob, who pretty much everyone knows is in love with her and she expects Edward not to be hurt by that? Geez. It's like, you're causing the person that is supposedly IT for you, so much pain and yet you don't give a shit because your friend would be in pain if you didn't see him? That is messed up shit right there. (And the fact that she would accept a gift from Jacob but refuse all the gifts Edward tried to give her. Like Edward said, it was unfair.) And I really think Stephenie Meyer didn't need to go that route with Jacob and Bella. She could have just left it that they just loved each other like brother and sister and BFFs. There was no need for them to love each other in a romantic way. Which is why I'm surprised Stephenie didn't make Jacob imprint on Bella. Now THAT would have been something. I probably would have stopped reading if she did. Edward >>>> Jacob. He didn't make her choose between them unlike Jacob. He'd always told her (and Jacob) that as long as she wanted him around, he'd be there. And if she didn't, even though it'd pretty much kill him, he'd leave. And the fact that Jacob was all acting like he loved her more because he was giving her up like the bible story? BULLSHIT, a-hole. I just hope this triangle is really done with and there won't be any of it in the next book. Because if there is, UGH. I know Bella chose Edward and they're getting married. But knowing Bella, she'll probably find out Jacob ran away or something and feel the need to go find him and put him out of his misery. UGH. |

^ I totally get you.
Except for some weird reason, I really like Jacob despite him being a complete ass throughout Eclipse. He makes me laugh sometimes. Bella needs to be bitch-slapped. I seriously think that her character's also becoming too flat. There's no maturity and growth at all! She's selfish, she thinks that she's thinking about others but she's really not, and all-in-all, she's... ADFOIGAWLHRADF. I hate to say anything bad about Meyer, but she really needs to step it up in the next book. I'm tired of the B/E/J triangle - it's getting old. Let's see some effing vampire action forreal [punk face]. |

yeah, the bella-edward-jacob thing is getting old, but how would it end anyway? i mean, jacob is by no means my favorite character, but to just.. kill him off? or imprint on someone? that's kind of a lot of imprinting, but whatev.
did anyone else see the "laugher" typo in the book? i stared at it for like a minute, haha. i don't remember what page it was. |

I remember there being like, three typos. But I don't think I noticed the laugher one.
The one thing that really pissed me off with Bella was when she was talking to Jacob and telling she saw them together and having a family and making him happy. Ugh. Apparently Stephenie Meyer wrote New Moon to introduce Jacob hoping we'd fall in love with him like she did. Um, sorry. I don't think she realizes that the vast majority of her readers DON'T. CARE. ABOUT. JACOB. Not like she does. What's the point of setting up Edward/Bella to just push Jacob at us? Ugh. |

There are two topics about this book already..well sort of. One's just about Edward in general, and one's for people who've read it already, so I dont think this topic is really neccessary....

hahah, i thought i was going crazy when i kept seeing typos in her books. they should really look at those. i hate typos.
but i definitely agree about the whole annoying triangle of jacob/bella/edward. the majority of the time i was reading i kept thinking about edward because bella kept pushing his feelings aside and forgetting all about him. what the hell was that about? how can edward STAND it? what pissed me off more than anything is when she asked edward to stay with her and not fight the newborns. WHAT! she was worried about everyone not thinking about the ultimate strength vampires and werewolves have. i just wanted to tell her to stop being so damn pessimistic and shut the f*ck up! but what i really dont like is that she's forcing herself to marry with edward just because she wants to make everyone happy. excuse me? how about getting married because you LOVE edward. i dont think saying "i cant live without you" justifies anything anymore. she over-did it AND she messed things up. she had a perfect relationship with edward and had to go and fall in love with jacob. but then i see her side too and jacobs. ![]() but im siding with edward on this one. he doesn't deserve all that crap. the next book better be good and none of this over-dramatic, over-sensitive bella crap. im about sick of it. |

Jacob and Bella are incredibly immature and selfish.
Edward is the only sane one. Aside from the fact that he's too selfless. I despise Bella. |

OMGSH. I HATED THE TYPOS. SO ANNOYING.
there was like 5+ paragraphs where she forgot to put quotation marks and it irritated me. ![]() okay i hate how bella is so selfish. because when Jacob said she was going to give up on her with that King Solomans thing, Bella was like thinking in her head, hold one lemme quote: QUOTE I understand what he was saying. He was telling me that he loved me the most, that his surrender proved it. I wanted to defend Edward, to tell Jacob how Edward would do the same thing if I wanted, if I would let him. I was the one who wouldn't renounce my claim there. But there was no point in starting an argument that would only hurt him more. Like, I thought it was selfish that Bella could just say that Jacob didn't love her as much as Edward did. That they equally loved each other. Like, honestly yeah I DO THINK EDWARD LOVES BELLA MORE. but i thought bella had no right to say that because she doesnt know how jacob feels. And when she wanted to participate in Victoria's fight. But "forced" Edward to stay with her instead. Like wtf. Making him choose between family and her. .___. This book was kinda disappointing. D: I hope Breaking Dawn will be much better. |

i wasn't satisfied.
horrid ending, but for a horrid character as well? and i mean the very end of the book as in last page. and the whole bella edward thing.. kind of abrupt to me, but the book can't go on forever, right? I'M NOT POSTING SPOILERS I SWEAR :/ i mean that doesn't count, does it? i think i should stay out of this thread. idk. |
