The song for this chapter is My December by Linkin Park
[audio:https://twilightguy.com/music/mydecember.mp3|titles=My December|artists=Linkin Park]
Every book, there has been that Certain Chapter that everyone seems to be anticipating me to read and comment on. In Twilight, it was the Meadow Scene. In New Moon, it was the dreaded Chapter 3. In Eclipse, it is obviously chapter 7. The majority of the comments on Chapter 6 weren’t even about that chapter: it was people pushing me along to get to chapter 7 sooner.
So, with that sort of anticipation lined up, I hesitantly slid into this one expecting something ginormously earth-shattering; examples being:
1. Edward and Jacob accidentally meet at a soda shop and talk through their problems, and suddenly are best buddies, or
2. Bella discovers she is actually descended from gnomes and can turn to stone, which she does, or
3. A character named Naleb Kation appears and saves the day from the quick approaching soldiers of General Grunksnot’s evil leprechaun armies, using only a book and his wits
Who me?
none of which I would have much comment on, as I would be too busy trying to make sense of what exactly Stephenie had been drinking whilst writing that part.
By the title of this chapter, I know that something is about to go wrong. Something is on Rosalie’s mind, and has been on her mind for quite a long time. She has been against Bella being turned into a vampire from the start — sometimes, the only one besides Edward. Thus when Rosalie tells Bella there is a reason behind her objections, I immediately knew that something terrible must have happened in her past to make her think that way.
And it is true: Rosalie’s history is a sad and dark one. You would think that by having everything she wanted, and by seeming to have a perfect, high-class life, that she would be happy – even that she should be happy. But it is obvious that Rosalie never was. While her friend was not as rich as she was, and did not associate with the same high-class crowds, Rosalie is jealous of her because she actually found a way to be happy, even without as many possessions. By having everything, Rosalie only wanted more, when all she really wanted was happiness: something her parents’ money could not give her.
It is through this that Rosalie was nearly killed by a man whom she thought would be fit as a husband — blinded to his true nature, perhaps, by his wealth and power. The stark reality also is that if she had not killed Royce and his friends, because of their social stature, most likely there would have been no justice done to any of them.
Suddenly, I can really understand why Rosalie seems to be so angry at Bella. She has a choice that Rosalie would give anything for, and yet it appears that Bella is ready to throw it away at the first chance she gets. Rosalie was raised in want of nothing; but the one thing she wants is the one thing she can’t have.
Despite the fact that I have been a bit against Jacob lately, in favor of Edward, I can’t help but feel thrilled that he appears out of nowhere to steal Bella away. They seem to be getting quite a plan down. But as the next chapter is called Temper, I have a feeling that Edward will not be far behind…

haha, “I have been a bit against Jacob lately, in favor of Edward”
Team Edward! I knew it 😀
Lets see………
Twilight, 13 14 23
New Moon, 19-the end
Eclipse- 22 and 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 OMG did i mention 20? hehe =) I wonder why…….=D
Breaking Dawn, All of the ending part some of the middle and ……..the OMG!!!!!!!!!NO WAY!!!! chapter 7!!!! yes that one THE famous chapter 7!!!!!
In Twilight, I loved chapter 13 and 23.
With New Moon, I hated chapter 3 with my whole being, but it’s one of the best in the book, other than 23, because Edward stays!
And in Eclipse… I like chapter 6, 7, 13, 22, and 27, but most of all – the best chapter in the entire book – 20. I feel so bad for Bella, but then it’s so sweet… And now I’m shutting up.
Now, on to better subjects…
‘…the fact that I have been a bit against Jacob lately, in favor of Edward…’
YES! You’re on Team Edward! Kaleb, you’re the BESTESTEST EVER!
ilusm!
Twilight – The Angel (23)
New Moon – Pressure (15)
Eclipse – Compromise (20)
Okay i have to admit it, Morgan chap 8 of Twilight is awesome. telling jake off YES! Go Team Edward!
PS Team Jake don’t kill me thanx but yea dont like jake at all.
What no Breaking Dawn? 🙂
I personally love this chapter. A lot of the posts are going to say Ch. 20, because it gets “hot and heavy”, but Chapter 7 has so much substance.
From Twilight I hated Rosalie, did not like her one bit, ergo “hated”. But this chapter gave me a window into Rosalie’s personality, and by that she has become one of my favorite characters.
Yes right up there with Edward.
Not that I can exactly relate, but Rosalie’s pain, and dare I say tenacity, is understood.
Yes, Rosalie can have her moments when you want to rip her head out, but I see it as a person putting on a mask, trying to cover up the vulnerable.
Gets this straight, I understand, but I don’t approve 100% of the time (hint: Breaking Dawn)
Daylet
OH NO!
In Twilight, I forgot about chapter 14 – just cuz Edward’s so… what do I want to say… Cute? Yeah, I think that’s it. And, you have to love that first line ‘He could drive well, when he kept the speed resonable, I had to admit.’
Sorry, but I smile so big every time I read it.
Carry on.
I absolutely love Eclipse chapter 13 (Newborn), but Fire and Ice is a close second.
I also really like chapter 15 in Eclipse. It’s funny.
Ahh i don’t have a fave. To hard to pick but I LOVE the chap Fire and Ice in Eclipse. (You can probably guess who its about. ;]) But yayy your Team Edward!!
Haha love the new backround!! <3
hey Kaleb!
My favourite Chapter in Eclipse is Chapter 20
The worst, as being an Edward lover, is after Fire and Ice
I think I may have given too much away XD

Well, I have two favorite chapters. One from Twilight, and one from Eclipse. My favorite chapter from Twilight is the meadow scene, and my favorite chapter en Eclipse is chapter 20, Compromise. Nothing from New Moon, because Jacob was in it too much and it made me so sad. Actually, chapter 20 of Eclispe is probably my favorite out of all of them. Since you haven’t read it yet, I won’t give anything away, but it’s just so… sweet. It makes my heart melt, and I guess that’s why I love it. Of course, I am obsessed with everything about Twilight, but I just adore the parts that make me love Edward so much and have me begging to god to make me Bella. Don’t get me wrong, I love the life-or-death situations and fight scenes in the books. I love EVERYTHING about the books(except Jacob). I just really love the sweet things in the books, and the love story of it all.
Hey Kaleb,
My favorite chapter in Twilight is “the Cullens” My favorite in New Moon would be Chapter 3. Eclipse is Compromise. All those chapters are great. I’m so involved in the Twilight series that my mom had to hide the books. When my aunt came over she gave Twilight to her and we haven’t seen her since! 🙁
‘Truth’ in New Moon. I smile like a moron every time I read it. It’s embarrassing.
To Alli (comment 61, I believe)
That is a good point. The chapter is pretty funny and there are a lot of things that get worked out. I think Kaleb might squirm in his seat, as most guys do, when he reads that chapter. But I bet it’s probably more comfortable for him to read than chapter 6 of Eclipse with Angela and Bella, or the dress shopping scene in Twilight lol.
First of all, I love love love the new background, Kaleb! 😀 My favorite chapter in twilight is chapter 15, The Cullens. My favorite chapter in New Moon is chapter 23, the truth. And my favorite chapter in Eclipse is chapter 20, compromise. (you’ll see when you get there ;))
my favorite chapters are
twilight: 13 (the meadow)
new moon: 24 or 25.. whichever one is “the truth”
eclipse: definitles 22, which is fire and ice
My favorite chapter in “Twilight”…I can’t choose. I liked the chapter w/ the bloodtyping in Biology, ‘Port Angeles’, when Edward shows Bella his sparkly skin, the vampire baseball and, well, every chapter after that. Everything got very exciting at that point. In “New Moon”, I liked it when Carlisle was working on Bella’s arm and he told her about Edward and his mother. I loved it when Alice came back and every chapter after that (so awesome). Loved it when Edward told her the truth and when she took a vote. My favorites from “Eclipse” are parts you haven’t read yet, aside from Rosalie’s chapter. Jasper tells his story and there are some cute/sexy Bella & Edward moments.
Easy answer! Definitely Chapter 22 “Fire and Ice”. Definitely the most intriguing, entertaining use of Edward’s abilities.
Of course Chapter 20 is a close 2nd, for the usual chick reasons.
My favorite chapters are chapter 20 of Eclipse!!:)
AND chapter 23 of New Moon where Edward comes back and explains everything… actually the entire end of New Moon is my favorite, I love the scene where she is saving Edward from stepping in the sun.
Im sooooooooooo excited for the movie!! only 11 more days 😀
my favorite chapters from eclipse are chapters 14-15 BIG STUFF happens there (not to mention HILARIOUS!), and 20 of course (ALSO BIG, you shall see)
AWESOME NEW BACKGROUND BY THE WAY!!
My favorite chapter is a combination. I love the dichotomy in Eclipse between Ch. 22 – Fire and Ice and Ch. 23 – Monster. I laugh so hard I cry in Ch. 22 then cry so hard I feel sick in Ch. 23. It’s what makes Ms. Meyer’s writing so engaging and intriguing to me.
Hi!
I never comment on here, but I had to for this question because I looooove chapter 22 Fire and Ice. A few people have already said it. But yeah. Best. Chapter. Ever.
And of course, there is Port Angeles way back in Twilight. Back in the day.
Hurry up and continue! I need things to distract me from watching the seconds tick away on the movie countdowns.
Peace.
we LOVE Chapter 20: Compromise (Eclipse).
FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.
since oyu have yet to venture into thats chapter….we’ll keep the deats on the downlow.
I would have to say for my favorite chapters
Twilight: ch 23 The Angel
New Moon: the truth (and when Alice comes back!!!!)
Eclipse: im going to sound so weird but ch 27 Needs (but ch 20 and 22 are up there too!)
Breaking Dawn: the last two pages….
OMG… it you think chapter seven was epic wait till chapter 22, you will just die.
By the way, the new sidebars made me hyperventilate…
and if you think your weather is bad, it is -20*C in Winnipeg. and snowy. 😛
Last chapter of eclipse or Chapter 20 eclipse
i just love eclipse ^^
My favorite chapter in the entire series is and always will be chapter 23 The Angel from Twilight.
I love it the most out of any of the other chapters.
It’s between five. Chapter 13 in Twilight, another chapter in Twilight that I can’t remember the number of (it’s titled Angel, but I beleieve it’s chapter 23…maybe), the chapter in New Moon where Edward returns, the chapter in New Moon where Edward explains why he left to Bella, and the last chapter of Eclipse. I can’t decide. They’re all so amazing. And, none of my favorite chapters would be in Breaking Dawn…not that I didn’t like it, just none of them were as good as these. Haha 🙂
Actually, scratch that last post. It’s too hard to decide! There are so many amazing chapters!!!!! My favorite chapters are every chapter in the books that I didn’t hate.
My favorite chapter is chapter 20 of eclipse, because of the very last page. 😀
Rosalie’s story is so painful… It’s worse when you consider that vampires are frozen, not just physically, but emotionally as well. They can’t grow up, move on. Rosalie is still about as wounded as she was her last night alive. Emmett’s done a lot, but the damage that an experience like that does to you… That’s why Rosalie can’t forgive Bella. She can’t step back from her own pain enough to see where Bella’s coming from.
Favorite chapters? In Twilight, I like the meadow scene. Edward’s rant in the meadow, when Bella doesn’t know if he’s dangerous or not, and there’s so much tension… In New Moon, I liked the Birthday Party, actually. It was one of the last happy moments for a long time… That and the motorcycle scene… In Eclipse, though, it’s tied between this chapter and Fire and Ice, which I think you will greatly enjoy, far more than chapter 20. Personally, I was a little put off by the fangirl Edward drool in that chapter.
Gah, I couldn’t choose a favorite. Twilight is where it all started, so I obviously love it. Then, while the content of New Moon was sad and slightly boring with such little Edward, if he hadn’t left, their relationship would not have been where it is now. And Eclipse, is soooo incredibly sweet. I can’t choose.
! You changed the background!
My favorite chapter in Eclipse is either 20 or 22.
Love the new background btw. Um definitely chapter 13 in Twilight, Chapter 3 actually in New Moon, funny enough, and Eclipse, hmm… probably the last one before the epilogue(I’m too lazy to go pick up my copy (one of anyways) to find out the exact number but yeah.)
love the new background!!! way to support the movie 🙂 this chapter really had me doubting why bella would want to become a vampire. rosalie does have a good point, and it makes me like her somewhat. hmmm favorite chapter lets see… New Moon is definetly the volturi chapters 🙂 i happen to be fascinated by them. OoOoO and eclipse (i bet most will agree) is Compromise…but ur not there yet!!! :))) good luck holding out till then!!
Nice background, I love it.
Though Rosalie’s story is epic, 22 (Fire and Ice) is the best chapter in Eclipse. Twilight has to be 13 (for obvious reasons) and New Moon, as much as I hate the chapter, is chapter 3 (as the defining chapter). My favourite chapter from New Moon is probably the chapter in Volterra (though I don’t remember what chapter it is or what it’s called.)
That’s a REALLY hard question to answer. You see, there’s something that I love in EVERY chapter of Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse that I love as much as or more/less than the other chapters (except for Legends in Eclipse. I hate that chapter XP). But, if I MUST pin-point which chapters I love reading the MOST.. ..hold on I have to go look in my books lol… (five mintues later) I can’t even CHOOSE because my favorite part of Twilight spans out through THREE chapters!! SIGH. Ok, for Twilight it’s a tie between Interrogations and Complications. For New Moon.. damn it I love the WHOLE ending of the book from when Alice arrives to the end! Ok, New Moon is, again, a tie between Race and Volterra. As for Eclipse it’s Snap Decision. ..but Compromise ranks pretty high up there too XDD!!! Even though that chapter is SO awkward.. but I love it XD
Lovin’ the new background btw!! ^^
Wow, there’s another Kim (post 89), and her favorites almost completely mirror mine ^_^ Already posted my favorites (10), but just wanted to add that her favorite quote is the same as mine… And with the same name and everything, this is just kind of freaky.
In response to some of the comments about Eclipse chapter 20: one of the things that I love about Compromise is how much Bella and Edward stay in character. It’s not only the end of the chapter that I love (*fangirl in me swoons*) but also the entire conversation leading up to it, because I can’t imagine that conversation progressing any differently. A small part of me wishes that the end part of chapter 20 was a bit more romantic and poetic (for those who have read it, well, am I that horrible a person if I’d have wanted a higher standard set?)
I also realized that I forgot to add Eclipse chapter 13 (Newborn) to my list of favorite chapters
Twilight = Mind Over Matter
New Moon = Vote
Eclipse = *I have 2*
-Compromise…..for some obvious reasons….can’t wait till you get there…and…
-Fire and Ice…probably all time favorite of the series!
I add to my last post…..I like ch. 15 in eclipse as well…. Wager is a good one!
ch. 22 in eclipse, fire and ice
can’t wait until you get there also compromise is one of my favorites
Love the new background! Its fantastic!
To show how truely hooked I am with these books I have read all four every week since my daughter started me on them in mid august. With all that rereading, different things jump out at you and different chapters have special meanings as time passes. This particular week I’ve been noticing Edwards sense of humor. Maybe because I think Rob/with Melissa’s help made Edward’s character too serious. I don’t know, but I think his sense of humor didn’t survive the movie.
In either case, this week in twilight I still appreciated the memory tampering scene best. In New Moon, I relished “Truth”. And as always my favorite scene comes from the chapter “Temper” in Esclipse. I love the dedication Edward shows Bella. Having my exhusband leave me for his two girlfreinds didn’t exactly leave my self esteem intact. So what catches me every single time in this books is Edwards commitment to Bella. Lets see if you can spot the line that brings me to tears every time I read it.
As for Rosalie, this chapter helps you understand Rosalie’s actions in book four. I love when you get done with a series and you realize all the foreshadowing that you get throughout the entire series. I noticed that about Harry Potter too. Stuff in book one was vital to stuff in book seven. I love when Authors have their story put together so well that you get those vague hints you didn’t know where hints until several books later.
TIE! and they’re both in Eclipse
Chapter 22 – Fire and Ice
Chapter 23 – Monster (even though it kind of broke my heart)
Oh sorry to double post. but probably 26 – Ethics too.
It made so much sense!
and almost made me cry 🙁
In Twilight, the best chapter would have been Chapter 13 – Confessions.
When Edward had told Bella all the things she should know at the Meadow about how he should have left before they fell in love with each other for her safety. Oh and not to forget when he ran with her and she was about to pass out and then told her he’s like to try something and then kiss her. I swear to god I was crying (:
In New Moon. Chapter 23 – The Truth. Obviously the Chapter when Bella ran for Edward was the best. But I like this Chapter because of the dialogs Stephenie had put in. Edward had told everything about why he left and how sorry he was. It was the best to have them back together. YAY! ;D
PS ; this website is really cool. I have to get my guy friends to read this. They would be convinced!
No chapter of any book will ever top Twilight’s chapter 13 “Confessions”, in my mind.
