So I take it you liked it! I didn't like how it all ended. I wanted a really happy ending seeing as we have to wait a year to read on.
You listed everything you liked so I am going to tell you a few things I didn't like. . .
1- Edward should stand up for himself a little more. After Bella kissed Jacob he was totally calm about the whole thing. No matter how much he loves Bella it had to hurt him. I was glad he didn't get really mad but a little negative emotion wouldn't have hurt.
2- Poor, poor Jacob. . .his aching heart makes my heart ache. There better be a happy ending for Jacob out there.
That is all I can think of right now. Truthfully the 3rd book, other than the way it ended, was probably my favorite of the 3.

Okay, so reading what you and Paige have written about these books really makes me want to read them (after I finish Harry Potter, of course. I know I'm way behind.)

Will you please tell me the names of the first two books again? I'm eager to get started!

The first book is Twilight, the second New Moon by Stephenie Meyer. I definitely recommend them with the full knowledge that they are young adult fiction, not deeply ponderous and fabulously entertaining, at least for me!

Eclipse was by far my favorite of the three. I really liked it. I totally understood her agony over being Edward's Bella or Jacob's Bella. I have experienced that before (on a smaller scale). Different versions of you with two different and equally wonderful people. I also agree with the previous poster about Edward needing to stand up for himself a little more. Fight for her, Edward!

Thanks for the recommendation. I like reading young adult fiction. It allows me to read while keeping half of my mind and one of my eyes on what my two little ones are doing.

Good luck with that. With these books it's more like child neglect, at least for me :)
