Dude I know. I'm pretty sure I sent _unhurt_ an angry email for every single page I finished. Also, seriously how much of a dick is Bella? I kept hoping there was going to be an interactive chapter where I could maybe punch her.
Seriously, could she be more pretentious and yet have LESS of a personality? Because I am not seeing it. All the best hallmarks of a Mary Sue, anyway -- the author doesn't HAVE to characterise her, she IS her, and now a legion of unquestioning girls can just layer themselves right on top of it because omg Bella is so like me!
I prefer the Bella I was hanging out with this weekend -- she's an elderly Basset hound.
Actually, what worries me more is how many teenage girls are imprinting on Edward.
A guy who is sneering, supercilious, condescending, and has a habit of picking up his "girlfriend" and carrying her around like a sack of potatoes... or an infant, something helpless and powerless... at ever possible opportunity.
Oh I WANTED to read the vampire baseball scene. I really did. Because vampire baseball there is only hilarity there. I just, I couldn't do it. Which is saying something considering how much I usually love terrible things.
I did see the movie though. And the vampire baseball scene is still pretty damn funny on film. Er, we may have gotten shushed for giggling in the theater.
It's possible I just enjoy saying vampire baseball.
I'm pretty sure that if I were to go see the movie in the theater, I'd get kicked out.
I'm sorely tempted to cajole agentotter into going with me, just to have the pleasure of the expulsion. Accompanied by snorts and peals of mocking fangirl hilarity.

So not a good model.

Mary Sue subsumes identity and swoons into arms of stalkery, sparkly vampire. Excellent.

But yeah. Honestly the whole thing is fucking gross and horrifying. I hadn't even heard the thing about him carrying her. Urk.

If it hadn't been for them, I might have really liked the books.
