I can't believe I thought this would be any kind of a good story. I expected that a vampire of nearly 100 years would have intelligent insight into love and that it would translate into the relationship with Bella. What a stupid story. Twilight was good, but this was a lame attempt at a recreation of something that was already beat to death. How does she expect an aging group of readers to like a story about a person who perpetually has to repeat high school. He could have been so much better to Bella character. Taken her around the world, thought about all the things he wanted for her, college and a career........ alas all he could do was stalk her and ask her dumb questions about her high school life. Lame.
