ECLIPSE: Chapter 14-Declaration

CHAPTER SUMMARY: Er...Bella's a whiny brat again and Jacob suddenly announces he's in love with Bella like this is all some big surprise to us...

NOTES/THOUGHTS/REACTIONS:
All the excitement of impending war in last chapter? Poof, gone. Now we're back to pitiful filler. Sigh. Meyer can't pace worth a damn in these books. It starts off with Alice announcing the party is still on and Bella being an ungrateful brat about it again. More recycled scenes! Yay!
More talk that the people Jasper hung out with may be coming to help out ("uncivilized" people! Gasp!) Bella is super worried and then she's back on the "oh, change me! I'll be a big help! bandwagon. Meyer, correct me if I'm wrong but the chapter before last, Bella was freaking out and saying she wasn't ready to change no? So freaked out she and Edward agreed to delay it! Yet now she's all rearing to go again? For god sakes, MAKE UP YOUR MIND! Either she's okay with it, or she's NOT okay with it. Having her be okay with it one minute and not the next is STUPID. It is also frankly dragging this book. We all know she's going to be a Super Vamp one day. Having her fake wrestle with the decision is not intriguing, it's annoying.
Then it turns out to Renee calling somehow and Phil had a accident on the ball field apparently. Um...just earlier you were saying he's a teacher, now he's a ball player again? WHICH IS IT? Or does he have two jobs? Make up your damn mind! But obviously it's not important I mean, even Bella can't be bothered to listen to her mother's worries because she's too busy concentrating on her boyfriend. God this girl is so selfish I want to SHAKE HER. HARD.
After that annoying phone call they kiss. Talk of school, more whining about the party and one bad transition later it's the next day and she's had all her finals. Being a Mary Sue she aced them (but as she's a woman she has to give credit to Edward because all her A's are his doing) and they go to drop Bella off at La Push. More obvious trying to make Jacob look bad on Meyer's part (now he's suddenly an impolite person). Jacob is arguing with Sam apparently (what happened to the wolf pack agreeing to help Bella out?), mere mention of Sue Clearwater having issues with her kids now that Harry's gone. Bella invites Jacob to the party she doesn't want. Thinks about end of school and other pointless stuff. Basically it's all rehashing of stuff we already know or have figured out on our own. MOVE ON PLEASE. Then Jacob wakes up and drops the bomb: he's in love with Bella. Um...duh?
I would just like to note we are now halfway through the book and here's all that's happened:
Bella is graduating and Alice is throwing her a party
Newborns are being created and looks like they're after the Cullens
Bella has started to make friends with Jacob and the wolf pack again
We've learned Roselie's, Jasper's, and the Wolf Tribe's backstory

That's it...the end. All these pages and those are the major things that have happened so far HALFWAY THROUGH THE BOOK. Just...really? These aren't even really important plot points in the series either. Really the only major thing going down is the creation of newborns. All the rest is just mindless filler that doesn't even drive the main plot. Just...how does she do this and then have the nerve to pass this off as great literature?

WORD LIST: None
GENERAL ANNOYANCES: It felt like February, not May.-Um...it's not May either or did Meyer miss the fact that it's JUNE now? Hence the graduation?
