As I mentioned in my previous post, I think that the rivalry between Edward and Jacob is very entertaining. In this book we see SO much more of it...I laughed so hard. Especially in the part where Bella punches Jacob!! What I like the most is the fact that they each bring out a different side of Bella. When she is with Edward she is more responsible and seems older. When she is with Jacob she is more reckless and acts more like a teenager.
During this book I finally felt Bella’s humanity. Throughout the two previous books we are constantly reminded by everyone, Bella included, how fragile and human she is. But in Eclipse we finally see deeper in to her feeling and her subconscious, specifically in the strange magnet scene. This gave me a greater sense of who she is, and finally made me feel compassion for her situation and also feel her pain when she makes her final choice.
I found the ending to be extremely sad. I like the fact that Edward and Bella are getting married, but where does that leave Jacob? Over and over again Jacob gets rejected, and keeps coming back…does he finally have enough? All I could think about when I finished this book was that the last one better be something pretty darn amazing and give poor Jacob a break.
