Eclipse in the night

SPOILER WARNING!

I've got quite a few favourite books, but it is not often the case that they keep me up till 3.a.m.
That was Eclipse's job. Part of it had to do with the fact that I know I'd have very little time for reading today (I was right). The bigger part was that I couldn't just put it down. OK, I pronounce it my favourite from the Twilight series so far (having not read Breaking Dawn yet, though I leafed through it). That has not so much to do with what happens next and how it ends. I know that this isn't the end since there's one more book. It's more to do with why it happens. How it turns out for Bella, for Jacob, for the Cullens.
Thinking about it, I'd have to admit, I'd pick The Half-blood Prince as my favourite from the Harry Potter series and it's the penultimate book, just like Eclipse. Both are not so much action driven, but more like emotion-driven, will-driven. It's more or less clear what will happen towards the end in both: Harry learns he has to find all the Horcruxes, while Bella knows that sooner or later Victoria will lcome for her. In Eclipse it is very interesting to see how the dynamic between Bella, Edward and Jacob turns out, between the Cullens and the werewolves, etc. Bella has to make some really definng decision, she can't be split in two or three, even: between the human, the vampire and the werewolf worlds.

To be continued ...

P.S. I wonder what's with the cover? This one and the New Moon's are the two that I find the most curious ...
