Carla T. (dogodame) reviewed on 4/30/2010 + 46 more book reviews

I am a 36 yr old who grew up on Anne Rice in High school, and currently my home collections ports the likes of Laurel K Hamilton, Charlaine Harris, Mary Janice Davidson and Kate McAllister to name a few.
I held off on this book for a long time. I was able to read the first 3 from my library before the phenomenon really hit, and really enjoyed those. When BD was released, there was so much controversy over it- people either loved or hated it- that I was afraid to read this because i was afraid to be disappointed. However with the movies being made, I knew I'd better read it before seeing the movie. Overall, I think it was the most fun book yet. It felt like there was more action, and more going on in this book then in the previous 3 combined. I liked that it seemed that Bella finally came into her own, and all the loose ends were tied up. Without trying to give anything away, I know the solution of the love triangle, regarding Jacob, has been used in another book series before (although I cant remember which one) so that was the only disappointment (albeit small). However, I didn't see that there was a more logical option available to Ms Meyer then that.

Overall, I definitely recommend it.
