Yes, Stephen King is totally jealous of the fact that Stephenie Meyer is regarded as a complete amateur in the literary community.

Honestly, if you were to actually think about what you are reading in Twilight, it’s actually all synonyms of the words gorgeous and cold strung together to describe an emotional teenage vampire. In fact, I think you can find a list of how many times she described Edward’s traits somewhere on live journal.

Don’t even get me started on the plot.

It happened in the last, 30, 40 pages of the book. That’s all I’m going to say.

Stephen King is not only the far more talented writer, but absolutely correct. Stephie Meyer has no ability for character construction, plot creation, realism, setting, prose, tone, and her over all writing style is simplistic and uninventive.

I agree.. Why would Stephen be jealous? He’s sold MORE books then Stephenie, Is better known + more popular, is a literary legend, and has earned critical acclaim and Numerous awards. Stephenie just CANT write. J.K.Rowling- now THATS a woman who can write! She’s innovative, fresh, unique, and an AMAZING writer. She has both Story-telling ability, and writing chops. Stephenie only WISHES she had J.K.Rowling’s talent!!!!

i think that stephenie meyer is an amazing writer as is j.k rowling im a fan of both. but i think that stephen kings remarks are of jealousy.
thats my opinion and i dont care what anybody thinks about it. Stephenie is a good writer.yes, maybe she doesnt have as much expirience as stephen and rowling but she is not horrible at all its not like she cannot write because she certainly can. He shouldnt be talking anyway when is the last time he has published a good book? not recently. i dont think he has ever had a fan base half the size of meyers and he never will. he simply does not affect the people who reads his books as much as stephenie. He was wrong to say that. There is always room for improvement for stephenie im not saying she is a god or anything of the sort, but indeed she CAN write and she writes wonderfully she keeps me entertained with her books and thats all that matters:)

Yes Stephen King is amazing and so is J.K Rowling. Stephenie Meyer is a great writer as well. Say whatever you want, her storylines aren’t well written or whatever. But, her writing style is amazing and shes very descriptive. I have no idea why Stephen King said that, because it is not true.

I started out reading Stephen King novels at age 8, loved them. But, really, writing about a girl having her period for the first time in the communal gym shower at high school & having her classmates throw tampons at her- come on. Now that’s some intelligent prose.
