Eclipse Covers

These are the only ones I've been able to find, which were on Stephenie Meyer's website and Amazon. If you have such luck, please email me and send me the image so that I may be able to put it up here. And also, these write-ups are only my opinion of the various covers, you are free to have your own.

United States of America

Yay! I am really in love with how all these covers have kept up the theme of a very simple subject against the black background. Mrs. Meyer has said several places that she couldn't put up this cover because it revealed too much. Not quite sure now that I see it, but I guess you can interpret the meaning as the ripped part being the hurt Bella experienced during the short span of her human life and then possible a much longer life later? Red ribbons are also used in marriage ceremonies (^^).


France

In keeping with the past 2 covers, the French Eclipse cover features the US artwork but does something crazy with the font and the title. In this case, I can say that I don't really like the embossing of "Hésitation". I mean honestly, you can barely see it. Anyway, "Hésitation" means "Hesitation" in French (who would have thought it!), nice title though for the book with all of their obstacles and hesitations with each other and the relationship.



Germany

I know, I say I absolutely love the German covers. This cover is nice, but it just isn't quite on par with the 3 previous ones. A little TOO much butterfly for my taste. I do like the allusion of a butterfly though along with the whole "Eclipse" theme. Again, the title has the optional Biss zum Abendrot or Bis zum Abendrot, which respectfully mean "Bite to sunset" or "Until sunset" literally.



Japan

The book was separated into 3 different parts in Japan, a different approach, again. Each part has its own different title, but all go under Twilight (still). The artwork captures in a more anime-style what I imagined Bella and Edward looking like, but definitely are close to what I think of them looking like. Again, there are more illustrations inside, but THEY ARE NOT MANGA. There are illustrations done sporadically throughout, not a storyline within panels. I especially think the ninth in this set is cute, and I think Edward just look weird in the seventh.



take it back?
