Did you cry?

[Alphie]

What parts in Eclipse, if any, made you cry?

[ouisa]

I cried three times.

Ch. 20...at "Be nice" and then at "he took my left hand and kissed the ring that was now mine" (and I'm not that big of a fan of marriage AT ALL)

Ch. 23 When she sees the two kids who will never be hers. Oh I had to sit and bawl for quite awhile over that one. In fact in my second time through it was even harder. I know this one is going to break my best friend's heart too.

And most of Ch. 27 which i discuss EXTENSIVELY in the What is your favorite part one.

I cried a few times.

Chapter 20--The official engagement. Happy tears.

Chapter 27--Edward being so selfless and asking Bella if she was sure she had made the right choice. Ah, Edward! And then when he calls off his deal so that Bella can do things her way. Where is my Edward?

Epilogue--It was painful to see Jacob like that. But I can't sympathize with him that much, because I've wanted Bella to marry Edward all along.

I didn't cry at all. But I'm not much of a crier. Although there were places where I WANTED to cry. Odd places. Like when Charlie is telling Bella he has the feeling she's leaving soon and he just wants an opportunity to say goodbye...so sad to me. When Edward puts his hands up to Bella after dismembering Victoria... sad because it really showed how he saw himself. The entire fire and ice tent discussion was extremely sad to me. Edward and Jacob's differences were so clear yet so painful to behold. Great to read. But enormously sad for some reason.

[Emilee]

I cried. Well, thats not really the word, I bawled is more like it.
I bawled during the epilogue.
When Jake is running, and, forgive me if i get something wrong, its been a few weeks since I read it, it reminded me of the story of the Spirit Wolves I think it was. How the chief was trapped in the wolf body. Like, is Jacob going to make the choice and stay in the form of a wolf forever? That was when I cried.

I'm not much of a crier, but yes, I cried. The time when Bella realized that she loved Jacob, and she saw the future that might have been - ouisa said she cried here as well. It was the hardest part for me. To love two people, and to have to hurt them both..... It was when I completely felt Bella's pain.

[Eleniel]

I cried when Bella kissed Jacob and she realized that she loves Jacob too. I didn't cry because it hurts to love two people or I pitied Bella. I cried because I felt betrayed.. I firmly believed in love between Edward and Bella so much.. though Bella chose Edward in the end, I won't be able to trust Bella. And Edward forgiving Bella so easily.. I cried at that part, too

[brasaremean]

i cried after that kiss too. and for the same reason. i felt so betrayed it wasn't normal. and i kept crying throughout the whole book. i can't believe she would hurt him like that (even unintentionally) and not even caring as much as she cared about hurting jacob. betrayal.

[Erynne]

I never actually dropped tears, but it got a bit foggy when Bella and Jake kissed (tears of joy - I LOVE Jake). I definitely noticed some eye-moisture when Bella saw the two children that she would never have. And I almost dropped a tear when Jacob was injured and, for a paragraph or two, it was unclear if he was alive or not.

But this book didn't break my hear the way <i>NM</i> did (thank goodness), so there wasn't any crying, hooray! Just mistiness.
