Little, Brown and Company

• Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer (2007)

  [6/10]

  "Of the three books in the Twilight series so far, I found Eclipse the least interesting. All the physical action takes place off stage, and we spend all our time inside Bella's mixed up head."

• New Moon by Stephenie Meyer (2006)

  [6/10]

  "At the end, you feel like you have just ridden a roller coaster -- a long, slow, boring ride up the hill and a brief thrill as you run the course. The excitement happens so fast, that you really want more and wish that Meyer hadn't spent so much time letting Bella mope about."

• Twilight by Stephenie Meyer (2005)

  [8/10]

  "Meyer does an excellent job at building the tension to a nerve-splitting peak, and her exposition about her vampires never gets boring or preachy."

  Average score: 6.67
