When I picked up this book I'd never read anything by Carroll before. However, I was quickly absorbed in this fantastic surrealistic journey of a couple and their fate. After reading this book I continued to read many of his other books in quick succession. His books are unlike any other fantasy books I've read, reading almost like dreams -- quirky, dark, hopeful, confused, and imaginative. Like in dreams, the settings and environments seem normal, until paranormal and fantasy-like scenes interrupt the lives of everyday characters. After some research, I discovered this author is quite popular in Europe, but remains little-known in the U.S.

As an avid fan of both Twilight and New Moon, I found Eclipse a little disappointing. I appreciate the new perspective Meyer was going for, but don't think it was achieved. Yes, we get new stories straight from Jasper's and Rosalie's mouths. But what was the point? After investing however many pages to both stories and developing those characters, they don't speak or have any significance to the plot for the next 400 pages. It was wasteful.
