After loving the first two books of the "Twilight" series, I couldn't wait to start this one, "Eclipse." It took me more than three months to finish this book. I just couldn't get into it. I couldn't figure out why. It's the same characters, same type of story, so why didn't I like it?
I think it's because of the movie.
When I read the first two books, I used my imagination about the characters. They were great stories. Then, as I was starting this book, I saw the movie based on the first book. The movie was awful, and it reminded me that these were teenagers I was reading about. Suddenly the whole thing seemed so juvenile. Now I just can't get into it the way I did before, and that really makes me sad. I'll probably go ahead and read the fourth book just to finish the series, but I'll wait a while.
So, my advice is that if you love these books, stay away from the movie. Stick to your imagination - it's much better than the big screen!
