Put the book down, and BACK AWAY...

On the train home this afternoon, there was a girl reading Twilight.

Somehow I managed to restrain myself from ripping the book out of her hands and begging her to read something more productive... like Cosmo.

Oh, it really can.

I haven't read it myself - but I've read summary after summary, and a few thousand reviews and snarky comments... and this book is just appallingly bad.
Bella is the most Mary-Sueish person in existence, the romance is supposed to be all deep and meaningful but really just sucks, and the vampires are SPARKLY! THEY SPARKLE IN SUNSHINE! IT'S JUST INSANE!

If you'd like to read a fun piece of summary, check out this one:

Good lord.

I almost want to read it just to be able to bash it.

Almost.

Yeah... that's kind of where I am, too.
