Maybe some Twilight fan can explain this to me:
Why is a century-old vampire posing as a high school student, and why does he fall in love with a teenager? I can have a hard time relating to people who think we've always had cell phones. What would someone like that have in common with a guy who's not only older than cell phones but computers, movies, TV, radio, space travel, airplanes, comic books, T-shirts, women voting, integration, and paved roads? To put it in perspective, he's six years older than Robert A. Heinlein, who died at the age of 80 several years before Bella was born. When Edward was Bella's age, Isaac Asimov hadn't been born yet. This isn't romantic, it's creepy.
