ECLIPSE: Epilogue-Choice

CHAPTER SUMMARY: Jacob leaves. Pretty much it.

NOTES/THOUGHTS/REACTIONS:
Before we end this book, Meyer can't help but take more digs at Leah who we must know is an utter bitch because she doesn't have a soul mate and has the nerve to think she can think for herself. One interesting thing is that this is in Jacob's pov. Only it sounds exactly like Bella's POV...which says something about Meyer's writing "skill" right there.
One of the issues I have with this is I find it hard to believe that Jacob actually would demonize Leah like he's doing in this chapter. Because when you think about, he's pretty much in the same boat as she is. She got jilted by a guy she thought was hers and has to see the couple all the time now. He got jilted by Bella and now has to see her with Edward. One would think he'd emphasize with her and the two would form a comadirie based on this.
But since this is Meyer writing this thing, Jacob doesn't like her because...well according this he thinks she's whiney. Well that's rich because he whines quite a bit in this epilogue and as we all know, Bella the girl he loves is the queen of whiners. At least Leah's complaints are pretty legitiment. Which is more then I can say for Bella.
Basically the ending of Eclipse is Jacob running off like a big baby. Really, why did Meyer write this at all?

WORD LIST: none
GENERAL ANNOYANCES: The continued demonization of Leah
