I get this thing occasionally...

lesbiassparrow...let's call it viewer shame. I get it for things like the WB's Tarzan where the show is so awful but I am irresistibly drawn to it that I watch it and I spend most of the show feeling horrifically ashamed and embarrassed and sort of watching it aslant so I can pretend I am not watching.
I am currently reading Twilight and it's the first book I've ever read in that way. It is taking me forever because I'll be reading it and then I hit an absolutely shaming paragraph and have to shove it away and pretend I am not reading it. I am not really sure why it's affecting me that way because I get that this is teen fiction and I am probably being too critical. But - I must rant a bit! (Sorry, I know many of you enjoyed it...)
The start was fine but god, Edward, I just, I don't know, but do him and Bella ever shut up and stop discussing their situation? If I read one more time him talk about just how good Bella smells or whatever I will go mad! When he was all standoffish it was entertaining enough but after the meadow scene (where he sparkles!) he and Bella just drone ON AND ON. Edward especially never shuts up!
Am I the only person to feel like this? Everyone seems to fall really in love with it, but I keep feeling that this the most prosy vampire ever. Plus some of it is so dreadfully written!
