ECLIPSE: Complete thoughts

Basically what I want to know is: WHY IS THIS BOOK EVEN NEEDED?
I mean really? NOTHING HAPPENS! At least, nothing happens that couldn't have been dealt with in either New Moon or Breaking Dawn. This whole book is a fat load of nothing going on. Okay, you have Victoria. Victoria is taken down in ONE CHAPTER. Half a chapter really. Why was her role drawn out in over two books if she was that easily dealt with? For that matter, WHY WAS THE ARMY EVEN CREATED? Really? What was the point?
Then there's the utter complete sexism going on. At first Meyer was subtle with her sexim views. You know, she mainly just kept it with the gender stereotyping and the girls doing the girlie things that they should be doing and it's the same for the guys. But this book, it's like she didn't care about being subtle at all what with the imprinting, the "I need a man and a baby to make me happy" attitude going on. It just...was IRRITATING. It wasn't just women she's sexist about either, the men are pretty stereotyped as well. Don't even get me started on how pathetic she's made these men out to be.
As for Jacob...his original character in New Moon will be missed. I think we can all safely agree (yes, even Twihards cause I've met some Twihards who also think this) that Jacob's character was utterly ruined in this book. All because Meyer was not happy with the fact that people liked him more then Edward and therefore needed to make him look like an ass as opposed to Edward the "perfect gentleman".
Then there's the CONSTANT REPEAT SCENES. This book was a recyced remix of two scenes: Bella begging Edward for sex and him gently chastizing her for being a silly woman with needs and Jacob trying to get Bella to see Edward isn't perfect and her completely ignoring him and then him freaking out about the vampire business. These two scenes pretty much made up ninety percent of the book and man was it annoying.
So in short: this book was POINTLESS. Nothing new was revealed. Bella is still going to marry Edward. WHY WAS IT EVEN WRITTEN? ;looks at the money Meyer made; Never mind, now I know. Well, at least this torture is over. Now it's on to the last book: Breaking Dawn...yay?
