‘Twilight’ Author Reacts To Harsh Readers Complaints- “It Hurts.” There’s an article and a video, and for those of you sans-BD, there are SPOILERS.
“You see the punch coming; that doesn’t mean it’s not gonna hurt when it hits,” Meyer told MTV News on Thursday. “There’s no way to make everybody happy. When I do one thing that a lot of people want, there’s always the opposite reaction.
So You’ve Read Breaking Dawn, Now What? Plus: Congrats, Larry! No Spoilers!
Whether you loved or hated “BD,” I’m sure many of you are struggling with the same thing I am now that I’ve finished it: What do we do now? Other than read it again and read every scrap of news related to the movie while counting down the hours to December 12, I mean. I’m kind of in a daze now, constantly replaying the events of the entire series in my head over and over, and I’d like to snap out of it soon!
And on a completely unrelated note, the twilight lexicon and the blog are down.
After I finished reading BD I sort of was like in a trance for a few days. I kept recalling when Bella found out she was pregnant and couldn’t quite grasp what had happened until a few days later when I seemed to snap out of my trance. XP
i loved BD don’t get me worng but when i finished twilight and new moon i needed more!! but what i like about BD i gave me closure i mean i would love more but im happy with the way she ended things
omg!!!!!!!! im a huge fan!! me and my bff always call each other and talk about the books!!!!!!! i want 2 talk 2 other fans but i dont know how? i cant ever get the books out of my mind 4 more than 5min. these books changed my life!!!!
I am and always will be..a HUGE fan of the twilight saga and Stephenie Meyer! I am really mad at the haters right now, can’t they see that by dissing the book they are upsetting stephenie…I mean people come on, I know u weren’t happy with how it turned out but that doesn’t matter, keep it to yourself. Stephenie is the greatest author ever and I totally loved how this saga ended!
I know, I finished it several days ago and I still can’t believe it’s over. I mean, it was a good ending and all but when you wait for something for over a hundred days, and then you finish it in a few hours, you’re kinda left in a daze. I’m writing my own story right now, it’s helping me snap out of it… but I’m sad to say i still caught myself reading it the third time through (=P) I’m trying to find something else to read, but nothing can compare to Twilight, so it’s slow going. Thats why I started my own story. I’m on page 42 rite now
Read “The Host” in the meantime – it is an amazing story and completely unique. Stephenie Meyer is a brilliant and inventive writer and I will read anything that she writes. No story has ever moved me like the Twilight chronicle and I thught BD was a pefect ending – exciting, shocking, twists and turns – what more could you as for?
I agree with Bink, BD gave me closure and I am happy with the way she ended the series. I didn’t get that kind of closure when I finished HP7. I really do hope she writes again from the Twilight universe.
I don’t understand why so many people have a problem with Breaking Dawn…I loved Ever minute of it! and yea when I was finished the book, it kinda depressed me cuz I know its over, but all great things have to come to an end right?
i love breaking dawn!!! it is amazing! i had someone come up the other day and tell me that it was predictable. um…NO!! i had absolutely no idea what anything was going to be like! i was greatly surprised by all the events in the book.
on a side note, i’m very, very, VERY sad the lex is down. i need it to survive!!!!
Ok so i know EXACTLY what these people are so upset about, because i am a BD disliker (i don’t wanna say hater lol) I don’t know; the other books, while having some extraordinary things in them, still seemed completely plausible. It seemed like in this one, she was still in her The Host groove which made it waaaay too sci-fi. I don’t feel any closure because SM kinda went back on some rules she established in the beginning which was upsetting and the theme of the books (like choice) are gone. Still sad…
Ok im soooo mad that everyone is being so pissy. Honestyly, EVERYTHING WORKED OUT! dont pretend like u all didnt want the happy ending! i loved it and u all know u do too. and i didnt like new moon the first time i read it but after reading it again i loved it so read it again and stop complaining because i thought it was perfect… im just sad that i dont get to look forward to more books in bellas perspective. Ill miss the saga. But BD was an amazing way to tie up all the loose ends of everything!
Ok i LOVE BD theres nothing ANYONE can or could do to change my mind! Everything about this book was a “WOW” in my mind, Stephenie tied the loose ends up perfectly! i will miss the series but it turned out great the way it did and i would never wanter Stephenie to change ANYTHING!
I didnt love the book, but im not gonna get all mad at stephenie. This is her series and this is how she wanted it to end. If she’s happy, I’m happy.
i know what she means. i post things on fanfiction.net and fictionpress.com and no matter how many people love it, the one person who hates it is the one that’s gonna stick with u. u just cant let it get u down, and write for the ppl who like it, cuz they;re the ones who really matter.
I think Stephenie did a brilliant job with Breaking Dawn, she should be congratulated. It’s not easy trying to write something from someone elses point of veiw, and than to change the whole tempo or feel of Bella point of veiw “after” was excellent. I would like to see something from Renesme and Jacob in the future – that would be interesting.
while i was reading bd my heart was fluttering and i actually was light headed and had to stop reading for an hour cause my mom was so worried.
i loved breaking dawn. i thought it was the best since twilight itself. i’ll admit, when i got to “book 2″ and jacob’s point of view, i wasn’t thrilled because i wanted it to be all about bella and edward. but i quickly changed my mind. and i loved that we got to experience bella as a vampire; i wasn’t expecting that. and i was totally surprised by the pregnancy. all in all i loved this book. and who cares if bella’s pregnancy isn’t feasible, this book is fiction! and stephenie can do whatever she wants!
i know!!! i have nothing to look forward to besides the movies, now! haha
I feel bad for Meyer she said it hurt when people were kind of getting pissed off at her, she got different reactions on the book… I loved it. maybe there will be another book besides midnight sun, because in the ending one of the vampires told Carlisle that maybe there will be a day when they won’t need the Volturi
I loved Breaking Dawn and I thought the ending was great but came too soon.
i’m counting down the days til the movie!! Breaking Dawn was awesome, but my 9 year old sister was reading it which kinda creeped me out
Yeah xxJASPERxx!! My freaky 8 year old cousin (who is a boy, I might add) is reading Twilight! I told him he’s a bit young and he told me he could read all the words and vampires don’t scare him! So funny!
I’m really gonna miss Bella’s perspective..but Midnight sun sounds exciting, and its not like waiting for the movies is a BAD alternative
(plus I get to see twilight all year w/my calander!! yay me!)
I LOVED BD. Such a good book. Such a good ending. Well, every fan – I mean, TRUE FANS – already said what I want to say, so I’ll just say it’s an amazing book. I’ll love Stephenie to death =)
(Those haters make me so angry and sad and upset! I can’t understand… How could they do that to her???)
I totally agree with you, Christy!
I don’t understand why everyone is so upset. Bella is 18, an adult. Besides, she is very responsible! She took care of the baby, it wasn’t like she was gonna dump her. She cared for little Nessie even when Nessie was killing her. She is the best mother you can get! http://www.bookreviews4teens.blogspot.com
Wow people should not be so harsh to SM i mean if they wanted it to be perfect for them then they shouldnt have bought it i mean what do you want?
Stephenie Meyer is a great author … and people who said that she was their fav authour and then turn around and bash her book thats just wrong
I loved Breaking Dawn !
Yeah i agree!
Breaking dawn rules and she’s a gr8 author. GO STEPHENIE MEYER!
Thanks for this post C I really like it!!
