Not only did I felt that SM forced all of this Jacob stuff on us, I feel that it was all over the top, because if the point of Eclipse was to show that Bella's love for Edward overshadowed everything else, I think it was done poorly. See, in Twilight, we fell for Edward/Bella and their chemistry. I mean you can't have doubts that Edward loves Bella, because really if he didn't he wouldn't have put himself and his family through so much when Bella was 'kidnapped' at the end. Their love was described in a really great form, now on NM we have Edward leaving because he feels like he had her in too much danger and he was taking away her human experiences, he did it because he thought it was best for him, he was sacrificing his relationship with Bella for her safety. I mean you can't get any better than that. But now on Eclipse we have this love-triangle. We have bella saying that Edward is it for her but somehow all she cares about is Jacob's pain. The whole book was about Jacob being in pain.

BUT JACOB IS IN PAIN NICOLE, CAN'T YOU SEE THAT STEPHENIE'S BEEN TRYING TO TELL US THAT JACOB IS IN PAIN? EVEN THOUGH THE STORY IS ABOUT BELLA AND EDWARD? BUT STILL. IT NEEDED OT BE SAID. i seriously started laughing halfway through the book every time i found "jacob" and "pain" in same sentence. which was, you know...ALL THE TIME. and it was like 5 in the morning and i was just too tired to keep reading about jacob's pain but still i went through with it hoping for no "jacob pain". no luck there. he was in pain in the last sentence of book.

1. Fine, Edward wouldn't let her go to see him at first, but he had he his reasons. You would think that she would have been ok with staying with her soon to be family, but no, she just kept complaining about everything and not being to see Jacob, who was still in pain.
2. The only time she has quality time with Edward, you know not actually thinking of Jacob, she starts to beg for sex. Ugh, wtf?! The only few times I noticed her interested in Edward was because she wanted to have sex, she was Jealous when she found out another attractive vampire was interested in him, and the one time it seemed that she really loved him, was when she asked him to stay with her instead of going to the 'war'.

Yeah yeah, whatever. I really thought that she would have had a better reason not to marry Edward! I just can't believe that it was over the fact that she was afraid of people thinking she was pregnant! BIGGEST WTF EVER. Really, you are turning into a vampire really soon, you practically won't ever see them again and you are afraid of what they would think, really.... REALLY?! BUT SHE'LL MARRY HIM ALRIGHT, IF HE HAS SEX WITH HER. I just can't stress this enough, what kind of love is this when you accept marriage for such a reason? Sure, you hate the concept of marriage and all that, but the only reason that makes you go through it is sex. Now, on the subject of marriage, I hate Bella's attitude towards Edward's feelings when it comes to marriage. Here we clearly have Edward doing everything in the name of their love(mixing with Werewolves and all) but her whole attitude towards Marriage infront of him was disgusting."Show me the DAMN ring,Edward" I just can't believe she said that. Think about it, why would say that to someone who keeps telling you how much he loves you and how he has been waiting for you for decades?

i don't even wanna talk about it. it infuriates me to even think about it. of course i liked the sex part, UHM WHO WOULDN'T WANNA READ EDWARD SEX. but seriously? she completely humiliated herself with the whole "i'll give you whatever, i'll even marry you, just please have sex with me". and it wasn't only once. she even tried to jump him up there in the tent. WTH WAS THAT? his family was like...fighting for their lives and she wanted to have sex. wtg bella. i can understand hormones and stuff but seriously.............. and then the marriage. i really am one of those people who think like bella's mom. don't get married until you are a complete person. BUT SERIOUSLY. it's not like she'll be a complete person anyways, considering she'll soon have to hide from all of her friends/family/anyone/anywhere/anywho/anywhatever. show me the damn ring killed me. that was so harsh.

ECLIPSE= THE BOOK OF JACOB BLACK'S PAIN.
That's how it should have been called really. I guess that's why I wasn't all that fond of the epilogue, there wasn't anything new there, well if it means he's still after Bella in BD.
Honestly, His pain was worse than Bella's in New Moon,really.

IKNORIGHT, WHO DOESN'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT EDWARD SEX?! I'm just mad because looked like a really horrible person, God was Bella horny in this book.
*gasp* She did try to jump him in the tent?! I think I blocked that out, how did it go down?!
Oh,i'm also with Bella's mom on this but, really... that didn't really have anything to do with Bella's decision, she was afraid of people thinking she would be pregnant, WTF.WTF.WTF.WTF.WTF.WTF.

Really, that scene showed clearly how hurt Edward was, couldn't she tell? IT WAS FREAKING OBVIOUS! While reading that I felt like I was reading some sort of abusing relationship book.
