Comments on: Really, Stephen King? Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn?

I agree with Stephen King. To be honest, Meyer’s writing reminds me of love stories my friends and I used to write back in 8th grade. You know, finding the “perfect” lover, bad grammar, etc. Stephen King and Ayn Rand are my favourite authors.

“He’s just angry because teenagers aren’t lining up by the thousands to buy his books… Bummer, Steven”

No, they’ve already done that, you know, considering he’s sold over 300 MILLION books in his career.

Harry Potter = Great? LOL. All books end is deus-ex-machina(great? When she can’t think of a good ending. She makes up with something out of the blue! If Avatar: The Las Airbender were a novel than a TV series, it would kick HP ass). But then SK woun’t see it because he has awful endings. I wouldn’t even call it cliff hanger. Just read From the Buick 8. it such as waste of time!

How did you know that spell? I read it in the book! But then, we didn’t read anything about him/her reading the book where she learned the magic spell! Deus ex machina

I definitely agree with Stephen King. Twilight is boring.

“…but really, you shouldn’t slam someone who has such a huge fan base as Stephenie Meyer and her “Twilight” series. I’d call that pretty darn successful, Stephen! ”

Two things wrong with this statement. Firstly, a huge fan base does is not make anyone infallible, as you are suggesting. Hitler had a huge fan base and look what happened to him.

Secondly- on the flip side, if you want to compare fan bases, look at it this way: Stephanie Meyer has sold 70 millon books worldwide. Stephen King has sold over 350 million books worldwide and has won numerous awards.

As well, Stephen King’s books are diverse and deep, with intertwining plotlines and questions probing into human nature. Meyer’s books involve poorly developed characters who have no personalities, thus allowing every pre-pubescent girl on the planet to impose their own personalities onto them. None of Meyer’s characters are deep- they are predictable, cliche, and boring (the reason why Edward can’t read Bella’s mind is because she doesn’t have one!). The books are anti-feminist, and a product of Meyer’s Mormom pipe dreams.

Stephen King = EPIC WIN.

Yeah, people… Stephen King is a million times better then Stephenie Meyer.
I have read all the Twilight books. They’re okay, something to read if you don’t feel like thinking. Stephen King’s books are captivating and intelligent. Don’t be hating him just because you can’t understand his books. Just get a little smarter… Stupid fantards

Long days and pleasant nights.

Oh My God! Thankfully someone agrees with me! I may be only 14 but even I can see how crap Twilight is! It’s full of fake crap about nothing. Honestly even I can write better then Stephenie Meyer.
Yes i’ve tried to read twilight and I could feel a part of my brain dying. Not all America books are that crap, but Twilight doesn’t maker America look like a very smart place

He’s just angry because teenagers aren’t lining up by the thousands to buy his books…
Bummer, Steven
