woo! Can’t wait to get this book.
Stephen King just wants people to look at him when I would never pick up any of his books.
Summit has hit a goldmine with lonely teen girls and their lonely moms. If they put out Twilight brand body glitter girls would buy it, cry over it, and swear it changed their lives. Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if that already exists.
Stephen King was right, and I say that as a fan on these books.
I am a fan of some of Stephen King’s books. His writing is far, far superior to SMeyer. Fanstalkers of Edward and the guy who plays him in the movie will disagree (really – the blind obsession with the Twilight series is possibly the creepiest part of the “phenomenon”). I’m not a fan of the horror genre, but King’s writing is pretty spectacular (and so is Jo Rowling). SMeyer’s books read like MadLibs tablets, like she sat down with a thesaurus and wrote them. No worry, fanstalkers. She’ll keep writing. Just keep stroking her ego, because I’m sure that’s what she wants. Then again, I wouldn’t be surprised if she sends out another letter about how her “human rights” were violated. Ugh. Write on, Stephen King!
Actually they do have body glitter and I saw it selling like crazy at Hot Topic *rolls eyes.
While I do agree with King, I just feel like- was that neccessary? I mean they are good books. They aren’t masterpeices but they are fun and exciting and romantic. So what if they appeal to mainly females?
i’m a huge fan of twilight, but I know that the books aren’t really that good. I mean, the first book really has no plot at all, but they are fun to read and it’s hard to put them down. If teenage girls are going to obsess about something, I’m glad that it’s books, and kind of sci-fi-y books at that. :]
loves the books…..movie was alright.still a huge fan of twilight
I’m not very excited about this book. I absolutely LOVED the books and was disappointed by almost the entire movie. The only good parts were who they cast as edward and how they made his skin shine.
Does it really matter if what one person thinks SM is a good writer and another thinks she is horrible? Kids (and parents) were lined up at bookstores to get her books. This isn’t a video game, or the latest Christmas toy, it was a book. She has gotten kids excited to read and that is something that is getting lost in all of this. If she can do it and make some money off of it, more power to her. I’m a fan of Stephen King, JK Rowling and Stephenie Meyer. They’ve helped me to love reading. And if silly vampire love stories will get kids excited to read rather than sit on the couch and watch tv, who am I to say that they are a bad writer?
I am a fan of both Stephen King and S Meyer and I love both there books. I agree King is a good writer but to say that about another auther is uncalled for. Its almost like he is jealous of all the fan fare her books are getting. People are attracted to any good book that makes them imagine a whole other world out there.
I can’t waiy,I love all these books plus I enjoyed the Host also.I am a mother of 4 and am madly in love with my husband.These books let me see some of the little things he does. People need to stop say rotten thing about these book Just look at the meaning and love though the book, we all have felt like this at times .The love,lost,loneness,the fight for that person or the forgiving of a friend. We all have protect someone from something in our lives.Just read and think about what the books are about. Let yourself be taken to another place .
so what did mr king say then? stephenie meyers books are fab they got me thru a rough time, they are very popular in the united kingdom, especially south wales where i come from. people of all ages read her books and enjoy them. can’t wait for new moon to come out. is it jelousy on stephen kings part i wonder?
Haha, yeah. I really don’t think it’s jealousy on King’s part. At all.
How is it possible that ‘literature’ (and I use that term very loosely here) has come to this? Squealing girls and body glitter and hysteria?? I will admit that I have read the Twilight series, as well as the books by Rowling and many others. I may be an overly pragmatic person, but I must admit, I didn’t cry, scream or drop into a dead faint while reading the books. I was NOT impressed with the transition from page to film, either – which happens often because directors are too intent on entertaining with special effects instead of telling a story. I am not looking forward to yet another diary by yet another director telling ‘how amazing this journey was’ etc. So… don’t insist on your parents buying you this book. I mean, really. If you want your parents to buy you a book, go to the literature section instead of the fanatic teeny-bopper section and pick up a story with depth and literary value. Not another paperback that will have disappeared from the literary canon in 10 years.
Just an observation for everyone who is so negative … about the books, about the movie, about anything associated with “Twilight”. Nobody is forcing you to read the books, see the movie, or get caught up in the story. You don’t like it? Fine. You’re entitled to your opinion. Just don’t start thinking only your opinion is correct and everybody else is stupid.
