"Thought I'd begin by reading a poem by Shakespeare, but then I thought...."
Evil Genius Koji @Taru-chan --Again-- This is kinda unrelated, but I have to say this...the sixth book of Harry Potter was extremely good. If I had to say, the 5th book was most dissapointing, with all the teenage angst. True, the 6th was a stepping stone for the 7th- but it was an INTERESTING stone. A good author can make parts of the story well-written enough that it gradually leads up the the climax, not just shout 'awkward'. Whoa, whoa, whoa. When did I say that the sixth book was bad? Explain. And Eclipse didn't shout "awkward". Eclipse did feel awkward, but it was from Bella's point of view, who during Eclipse was very confused and was trying to balance out her life with Edward and Jacob who both hated each other and didn't want to play nice.Tokyna When I posted this topic there was no Eclipse forum, thank you very much. The Eclipse forum was present when you posted this thread, you posted it on August 11 and I remember an Eclipse subforum before Eclipse even came out, on August 7. :/

Eclipse is like a bad fanfiction. Everything was so forced. Yes, the biggest problem I had with this was the writing. Perhaps it was because I recently finished the final installment of Harry Potter, which embodies the true essence of fluent and detailed writing and plot. Eclipse was just a bunch of random insertions trying desperately to make some sense out of the mess that is Edward, Bella, Jacob and Victoria. I do appreciate the background and history presented, which fails to develop the characters but provides useful for Eclipse’ bleak plot. During the story telling and flashbacks much of the speech were awkward, to say the least. Especially during the flashbacks of Jasper, there were so little references to the speaker that it was impersonal and boring, like a bad teacher trying to do a lecture. Edward’s representation bothered me as well. I always thought of him as an aged, cool, collected and most of all intelligent gentleman. Imagine my surprise when out of all the supposedly genius Cullens, it was Bella to figure out what Victoria is doing. To those of you who enjoyed the book, forgive me for being a bit cruel (having wasted my time reading this I feel that my mind demands it), but Eclipse should have never been published, it is a waste of trees. And how obvious is it that Edward did not change Bella? For the sake of keeping this franchise alive for the fourth installment. Maybe if he had changed her that might have provoked an ounce of adrenaline in my body. Bleak and tasteless is my verdict, because any book that is 50% dialog deserves it.
