When we start up with Book III, Bella has convinced Edward to change her after graduation, thanks in large part to the order issued by the Volturi to do so or be killed. Bella is content, Edward is distraught and Jacob is miserable. Bella also has Jacob back in her life again, which pleases her greatly, even though it causes Edward no small amount of worry. And senior year is wrapping up. It won’t be long before Bella is eternally 18, not so much older than Edward. Of course, it wouldn’t be Twilight without someone trying to kill Bella would it? And so, Victoria returns. This time wreaking havoc with many newborns who cannot control their desire for blood and mayhem. She has created this army to avenge James. This is war for the Cullens, and they have a new ally: Jacob’s pack. His love for Bella is as sure as anything else in his life, thus his pack agrees to take care of her while helping keep their people safe. An interesting twist: Jacob is sure in this novel that Bella loves him in the same way as he does her. It’s only a matter of time before she finds it out.
I have to admit again that Holly was right. I hate it when that happens. While I found Twilight compelling, I found Bella barely tolerable. However, New Moon sucked me in and guaranteed my mission to at least give Eclipse a go. And now Eclipse has won out over New Moon. I read this book in one sitting, sort of. I took it with me for my night in the airport on my way to New Orleans, and was finished by my layover in Memphis twelve hours later. I don’t know how she did it, but Meyer sucked me in to the last place I ever thought I’d be: Twilight fandom. It’s only taken me this long to write this because 1) I’ve been lazily recovering and 2) I’ve been crawling through Breaking Dawn, only allowing myself 50 pages or so a day. I don’t want it to end!

*sigh* I remember a time when no one knew about Twilight. Then the hype - I don't like swimming in hype. It makes me break out in a rash.
One day, 10 years from now, I will re-read the Twilight trilogy (yes, I said Trilogy...take it from me, don't read book 4. If you don't like Bella now, you'll want to jump into the story and feed her to Jasper) and I will love it.
After reading book 3, I have to ask: are you Team Jacob or Team Edward?
:)
Honestly, I loved Book 4. Each book was successively better for me. I've never really delineated from being Team Edward for Bella that I can recall, but I adore Jacob and Edward equally. And after the nonsense about imprinting was revealed, I knew Jacob hadn't imprinted on Bella so I knew they weren't meant to be.
I hate hype and fanaticism which is why I was so easily swayed from reading this series until now.
heck yes i read the whole series so far. i really love how bella and edward are together forever but i really hate that jake ans bella aren't. he's so sad at the end i feel so bad for him. i really almost wish that bella chose him but then i would feel bad for edward.
