Eclipse

I finished it this morning. I don't know what to say. There were things I liked about it, like some of the characters and story line, but once again annoyed at the unhealthy relationship between Bella and Edward. I know it is so romantic that Edward loves her so much that he won't rip her throat out - blah blah blah - I just find it disturbing how obsessed they are with each other. Edward is always there. Bella has no time alone unless she is in La Push and Alice can't see her. Someone is ALWAYS watching her. Edward is there every night with her while she sleeps. Creepy. These are not signs of a good relationship. I guess the comparison between their relationship and Cathy and Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights should have clued me in. That relationship is disturbing on so many levels and should never be emulated. At least, it' not a love that I am interested in.
The only part of the book that intrigued me was the truce between the wolves and vampires and their anticipation of the newborns coming to Forks.
I am debating whether I should read the new book that just came out. Some people have told me that it is different from the other books. Maybe that's a good thing, but I have so many other books that I want to read.

Now laughing at - Don Quixote
On hold - Vanity Fair, Eragon, I Capture the Castle
