Twilight
Working through; but only another 50 pages last night. Hey, I told you it would be easy to put it down and not go back, I had other stuff to do.
So now we get into the WTF sections.
The sparkly scene was actually mostly brain-shredding not because of the sparkly (which is bad enough) but because of the constant comments about how stunning his "god-like beautiful perfection" was, and how she couldn't believe this "Adonis" was talking to her. The $3 words were way over-used; I have a hard time thinking that it's a 17 year old talking, when there are obvious, more-common word choices. I mean really; "besotted"? The author tries to justify it by saying that Pride and Prejudice is the girl's favorite book, but it just comes off as an excuse for the author to use her favorite thesaurus.
AAAAAND... the creepy. I was mistaken on how creepy the boy would turn. He didn't sneak into her room once; he finally 'fesses up to having snuck into her house EVERY NIGHT for 6 weeks. And to eavesdropping on conversations with practically everyone she's talked to in the last 2 months. AND to following her everywhere she goes. First damn vampish thing the vampixie's done, which is totally fine, right? Vamps are supposed to be dark and creepy, so yay. He's finally being something resembling a vampire instead of a fairy. What I absolutely cannot stand is her reaction. She's not at ALL creeped out, or angry, to find that he's been jealously stalking her every moment, waking AND sleeping, for weeks. No, no, that's not creepy, it's not stalking, it's Fucking-A-Romantic-As-All-Hell in her dumb shit little brain. I just want to smack the hell out of the girl. Guess since she's already decided that it doesn't matter that he claims to be a murdering monster, it doesn't matter that he's a stalker too. *headdesk*
