What Parents Need to Know
About Eclipse: The Twilight Saga, Book 3
Parents need to know that, aside from some kissing and one violent fight, the main concern here is how Bella is portrayed. This book follows the conventions of a romance novel -- the heroine is completely helpless, and completely obsessed with her love, and this is portrayed as perfectly OK instead of unhealthy.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about Bella's relationship with Edward. Why is she so obsessed with him? Why can't she be apart from him? Do you think this is what true love is really like? Do you think it's healthy? Why or why not?

Good for everyone
I love it and I know 12 kids who I babysit have read it and they are 7. Kids know and understand more than adults give them credit for.
Lives in VirginiaI rate this title on for age 11 and give itThis is a Great Book for 12 year olds and over!!
So... The commonsense review says that Bella's love for Edward, the teenage vampire that is actually 100s of years old, is not portrayed as unhealthy. I understand that they may think this, but I loooove this book. It is amazing, and in New Moon, which is in the same series, Edward leaves Bella because he himself thinks that their love is unhealthy. I am twelve years old, and this book is not too old for me. ECLIPSE and the whole twilight series is the best series i've ever read in my life, and I hope that others will find that it is good too. Thank you, chatterbox97
