I wish people would leave Bella alone!
I want to start off by saying that I LOVED Eclipse! I love all of the books so far....each equally, as they wouldn't be the same without each other. I have read many reviews and I noticed that several people don't like the character Stephenie has created to be her ...

East of Eden

John Steinbeck

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2003
