Book number 3 in the Twilight series, I give this one some credit, and I certainly enjoyed it more than the previous two. However, there are still lots of spew-worthy moments:
It was a face any male model in the world would trade his soul for. Of course, that might be exactly the asking price: one soul.
The plot direction is super obvious - someone is creating new vampires, oh really, who could that be? And Edward's ridiculous over-confidence makes it obvious the real battle is going to be wherever they think Bella is 'safe'.
The literary comparisons are overdone again (this time it is Wuthering Heights), but not as terribly as in New Moon. I'm also pretty sick of the whole love triangle thing - can't we have some more battles with the Volturi or something?
Meyer introduced the creepy 'imprinting' thing for the Werewolves. I wonder if this is going to be a convenient plot escape for Jacob in the next book? Is he also going to fall in love with a two-year old (like his pack-mate), and give up on Bella?
I just read some of the Twilight forums (wow, people, really), and checked out the merch store (Bella's bracelet anyone?). I'm surprised they have mens T-shirts, is there anything more emasculating than a Twilight T-shirt?
Those who haven't seen it should check out the XKCD comic (NSFW language).
3.5 stars.
