Eclipse is the only book of S. Meyer's that I have read. I read it because I enjoyed the movie that was based on it so very much. However, the book disappointed me. With the comparisons made of Stephenie to JK Rowlings, I had assumed an equal quality in writing style. Sadly, I did not find this so. She has created a wonderful fantasy world of vampires, particularly the vegen Cullens, and for this I applaud her, but her writing style did not captivate me, not like the movie.

On the plus side, Stephenie's 'spirit warrior' narrative was wonderful. I loved it, and I wished it could have been in the movie though I know it would not have helped move the central story forward in a movie.

Generally, people who have read the book and watched the movie will note that the movie has moved events into a different sequence. This is just a point of interest as it does not effect the story.

The movie has been made fuller with the intertwining of the vampire army's story, which is not in the book, though I assume it may be found in S.Meyer's 5th book 'The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner.'
