*lol* I am German and it seems there is a little mistake in the title! ^^°
Well, I’ll try to explain:
The German title of the book is “Bis(s) zum Abendrot”. The word “Biss” means “bite” and “Bis” means “until”. “Abendrot” means “evening-red” which means “eclipse”. So the German title of the book plays with German words and could be read as “Until eclipse” or “Bite (to) eclipse”.
They read the word “Abendrot” wrong as well! They might thought the title would be “Abendbrot” (abend=evening, brot=bread, rot=red) which would be “supper” *laughs*
I hope, this wasn’t to confusing now, but it’s funny for me to read the article, because many German readers read “Abendbrot” (supper) too when they first saw the book title!
@ Areya: The german title of Eclipse ( “Bis(s) zum Abendrot” ) means NOT “A bite for supper”!
…”Abendrot” means “sunset / afterglow”.
…also “bis” with one “s” means “until” and “Biss” with two “s” means “bite” – so the title of the book has two different meanings.
hehe^^ when I was writing the message for Areya the comment from Alexicious was not there yet. x)
but what Alexicious and I had tried to explain musst be understandable for all now – I hope ;D
