Well, I'd probably obsess even if I wasn't busy, just because the book is so popular and so bad. It's not just that it's bad--it's that this portrayal of love is pathological. And no one in the book resembles a real person. Plus, no plot for 400 pages and, as another reader pointed out, Meyer takes you through ever minute detail of Bella's life, 24 hours a day, and she's the least interesting part of the story.

It just pings my injustice meter--not because it's a bestseller, but because Bella is a spoiled brat who treats people like shit and the book seems to think that makes her a good person.
