Eclipse

I have just re-started Eclipse after abandoning it (30 pages in) two years ago, in 6th grade. I am only about 60 pages into the book right now but so far I once again feel like the story is dragging. I understand that Meyer has to set up the plot a bit at the beginning of the story, but it is the third book in the twilight saga and it has been a reoccurring "theme" throughout the series that the action is very slow until the climax (and then it slows back down again). I feel that Meyer should've considered this while writing this book because after two long books of slow plot development with little action the reader feels bored and overwhelmed with seemingly unnecessary and (sometimes)n irrelevant details. I hope that all of the small details I am suffering through will eventually play a significant part later on in the book! Summary: So far Bella receives a letter from Jacob, a wolf, pretty much saying they can't be friends because she is friends with Edward, a vampire. Soon after she is surprisingly set free from her "house arrest" that Charlie, her father, has put her on after having gone missing for three days; she was saving Edward from giving himself to the Volturi, a powerful vampire council, (unknown to Charlie's knowledge). Also, Bella has been accepted to the University of Alaska, and Edward has been accepted there too along with some Ivy League schools, which he forces Bella to apply to as well.
