I have to say this installment has been my favorite so far. The amount of action and the amount of backstory that we get about the characters made a lot of people come to life for me.

I am also thoroughly convinced that the audiobook version is better for me as it hides many of the grammatical errors and style issues I had when I tried to read the book. As written, these novels are much better oral rather than in writing.

(some spoilers)

However I still have some reservations about this series in regards to the model of relationships that is being presented through Edward and Bella's relationship. And in this installment in particular this reservation was furthered when Bella discovers that she is in love with Jacob (who has in many ways treated her better than Edward and is way less controlling than Edward) and even sees what her future could be like with Jacob and likes it; yet she still picks Edward?

I don't feel like a relationship that is described like a drug addiction is really the best model of relationship.
