Eclipse (Twilight, Bk 3)

This is my least-favorite of the Twilight Saga series of books, merely because of the fact that not much seems to happen in the narrative. This is the true "bridge" book of this series, serving only as a connector between the first two books and the last (and most-epic) of the quadrilogy. However, despite these cons, the book remains compulsively readable, and the confrontations between Jacob and Edward for Bella's affections are interesting and fire-charged. Subplots give side-characters like Jasper and Rosalee fascinating -- and much appreciate -- backstories, but the subplot concerning the vampire Victoria's plan for revenge on Bella was the most interesting thing about the book. The confrontational scenes at the end of the novel are the best of the novel, combining passion, hatred, violence, and horror all in one. In the end, if you've read the first two books, "Eclipse" will be worth your while, so that way you can go on to the best book of the series, "Breaking Dawn".
