I can tell you now. Basically, Bella has a very private mind and so stuff that works with her mentally (such as Edward's skill to read her mind and a later character's skill to simulate pain in the mind) doesn't... well work.
Lol. Nope, no sex! Quite saddening, really :P! I wouldn't be suprised if they'd been mixed up. The Times nicely summed up the deeper feelings of the novel when they said "Her story, recounted in hypnotic, dreamy prose, encapsulates perfectly the teenage feeling of sexual tension and alienation." (Nope, I haven't got that memorised :P My copy of Twilight is sitting on my desk!) Sadly, I don't think that Stephenie Meyer intended for there to be any deep metaphors in the books, I believe she just intended to tell a good yarn! xD Which dashes all my ideas of the werewolf versus vampire thing being a metaphor for the Native Americans versus the pilgrim settlers...
Seriously? That's strange cos I'm British and it's out here in paperback... And, as an American book, I'd expect it to come out later here! :S Strange. Ach, well... Maybe you should try British Amazon. Though, to be honest, the cost of transport would probably be more than buying the hardback. Why don't you just borrow them off a friend or library?
It was released in a special edition hardcover with a poster and temporary tattoos around the time it was supposed to come out in paperback. I guess Little, Brown publishers is trying to milk it for all it's worth. I wish it would have come out in paperback, I don't like reading hard cover.
Yeah. I thought that might be the case. I HATE when publishers do that with popular books. Same with producers of popular TV shows or movies... Making them more expensive than normal in shops for ages >.
I don't have a good local library and my friends don't live in close proximity, and I think I'm the first them to read it. At any rate, I don't mind waiting. ;)
