You've made me very, very glad that I quit when I did. I agree that if Edward had just eaten Bella in the first book, it would have been much, much better. I could never buy that he was going to actually do it though, no matter how many times he kept declaring how dangerous he was, and how she should stay away from him.
And come to think of it - how fucked up is that message? Edward genuinely seems to think he's dangerous (despite all of the evidence that he's just a big flaming pussy). He's the one with the superpowers as well as being a hundred years older than Bella, but it's her responsibility to stay away from him.
Damn. Stephanie Meyer has some serious Issues. Book four sounds awesomely cracktastic (the imprinting/falling in love with an infant thing is a big HOLY SHIT moment), but I think I'm going to spare myself and just read the hilarious summaries out on the internet. I don't think I could take more non plot angsting and relationship discussions for another thousand pages or so.
