Tell us about what you're reading--from the MPL Teen Room or otherwise. Do you recommend the book? Why or why not?

I just got done reading Eclipse (Twilight, Book 3) by Stephenie Meyer. The author has a great website .

I always spend the third book of a trilogy worrying about the grand finale. Then, when I get what I want, I still want more. Such is the case for Eclipse. The climax involving all the vampire and werewolf players exceeded my expectation and I was thrilled that the love triangle was final resolved. By the end I was thrilled to find Bella finally beginning to evolve emotionally and looking forward to a possible "next round" of trilogies with Bella in a more mature role. I really enjoy following Bella, Edward, Jake, and the other characters as the move through life. Meyer's writing is very engaging. I'll read anything she writes. She know teen readers. :-)

Did you know they're making a movie out of the book Twilight by Stephenie Meyer? Check out her movie page.

I'm also in the middle of Eclipse (I haven't read far enough for the love triangle to be fully resolved), and can recommend it as an excellent read! I read somewhere (I think on Meyer's site) that there are more books coming out that will be told from other characters' perspectives--possibly Jacob's. That will be an interesting twist. I've always liked Jacob's easygoing style, and I think he would make a fun narrator to read.

They did parallel stories and viewpoints for Ender's Game. I think it would be cool to follow Jacob. I also would like to see back stories on some of the Cullin's family members. We know a little about them, but they each have an interesting story.
