Eclipse: The Twilight Saga, Book 3 (by Stephenie Meyer)

While I began reading the whole series, this is the one that stuck out to me the most because Bella began to put on the pressure to add sex to the relationship. While really young readers will not understand it, younger teens who are just starting to date may be confused about the message that Bella's actions are sending.

i love it especialy jacob :) it is for tweeeeeens !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved this book, I read it when I was 10. Though it was a little depressing how Bella chose Edward. It caused Jacob to leave until Breaking Dawn at Bella and Edward's wedding. I feel for Jacob. Anyway, I think that you should be 12 to read this book because there is much violence, including much killing of the vampires. There is a great value/theme in this book, however, that you can do anything for a love in this book. By far this is the best book of the saga. It is the "choice" book. Breaking Dawn is boring because you know that Bella chose Edward, and a series of events will lead them into forever together. But the interest level goes up for Eclipse when you realize that Bella has to choose either Jacob or Edward. It should really be read. Reading Level (RL) : 4.3

Though at times entertaining, and this is the best book in the series, the whole Twighlight Saga is not good quality literature.

The good stuff * Educational value: Even teens who don't consider themselves readers may find themselves racing through this long romantic fantasy -- as well as the other big books in this series. Close More Even teens who don't consider themselv… * Role models: Bella is a helpless damsel in distress, and her life completely revolves around her love, from whom she can't stand to be separated, and for whom she will make any sacrifice, including her family and life. On the other hand, readers will empathize with the difficult choice facing her (Edward's love or Jacob's friendship) and be impressed that two men are able to put aside their feud to work together. What to watch out for * Messages: There is a whole "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" theme going on here as ancient foes -- vampires and werewolves -- join forces to protect Bella. * Violence: Vampires fight and dismember one another, with some help from werewolves. Body parts fly. A helpless teen vampire who has surrendered is killed anyway. * Sex: Kissing. Lots of kissing. Bella wants to have sex, but Edward says no. Bella's father awkwardly tries to have a sex talk with her. * Language: Not an issue. * Consumerism: Not an issue. * Drinking, drugs, & smoking: Not an issue.

The downside to this book is Bella is playing with two boys hearts, which can help you to talk to your child about relationships. However, Bella does want to have sex, and Edward refuses. This is a positive message to kids to wait to have sex until marriage. There is a violent scene at the end, a big fight, however I don't find it too graphic for kids 12+ maybe younger if you have been open with your kids about violence. The Cullen family is as great as ever in the role model field. Overall, I would recommend this saga to 10-12+

i think both parents and kids would enjoy this book because it is very entertaining for all age groups there is nothing inappropriate in it its something that keeps you reading because of how good it is written and how it makes you read more and more you wont be able to put this book down

poor quality movie

Although there is a small amount of violence some sexual behavior that my be inappropriate for some kids I greatly enjoyed Stephenie Meyer's works. If you like romance and action this is for you! Adults may enjoy this book as well.
