Brilliant review, paragraphs or no. The "making me a sandwich" line made me bawl with laughter. Also, have you noticed how perfectly Edward fits the gay male stereotype? And I don't just mean the glitter. His "flamboyant" clothes, "runway" walk, his shock at finding a woman attractive, how he almost wishes that Bella were a man... What exactly is Meyer trying to say here? That Bella's so attractive she can turn gay men straight? It wouldn't surprise me. Her view of sexuality is creepy and repressed.
