"Stephen King says ‘Twilight’ author ‘can't write’
Horror writer says series appeals to girls due to nonthreatening sex scenes
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29001524/ “Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people… The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good.” O Stephen, Stephen. You've frightened the living daylights (and many, many nights) out of me, and I thank you for that. I am wary of girls called Carrie (White/Bradshaw/Fisher/Underwood), occasionally think that drains hide clowns with sharp teeth, and thank goodness we don't have many cemeteries here or I'd probably give those a wide berth at night too. But how, o how could you ever compare Rowling to the travesty that is Meyer? Why did you release this statement? Why are you talking about her at all? Why are you making her legit with your own (hard-won) street cred?
Alack, alas, alorn - I will never get those 12 hours of my life back that I spent reading the series. Now all I can do is dissuade people from reading the crap. Libellés : books
