Three and a half stars, actually--if the characters had figured out what was going on as soon as I did, I might have given the book 4 stars.  (That would have dramatically shortened the novel, though.)  It was still a compelling, fast read, despite my impatience.

One thing that puzzled me, however, was why in the world nobody saw the parallels between Sam & Emily's "imprinting" and Bella & Edward's connection. Unless I'm missing something, it seems to me to be the exact same type of thing. ...Which means that Jacob should fully recognize and accept the implications. The fact that he didn't makes me wonder if Stephenie Meyer realized that it would necessitate a major re-write of the end of the book, and she was unable or unwilling to do that? Maybe she knew teen fans love angst and didn't want to deprive them of so much of it?

Still, the third book in the series followed closely on the heels of the second (New Moon) and set up the fourth (Breaking Dawn).

The third book in the Twilight Saga, the riveting vampire romance and adventure, continues the romantic struggles of Bella and Edward, who happens to be a vampire. This installment will have teens and adults thirsting for more.
