Stephen King On ‘Twilight’ Author: ‘Stephenie Meyer Can’t Write Worth A Darn’
LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Stephen King’s opinion may drive a stake through the heart of “Twilight” author, Stephenie Meyer.
In an interview with USA Weekend, the bestselling author compared Meyer with J.K. Rowling , the author of the Harry Potter series.
According to Stephen, “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.”
While Stephen may not be a fan of Stephenie’s writing, he understands the appeal of the series.
“People are attracted by the stories, by the pace and in the case of Stephenie Meyer, it’s very clear that she’s writing to a whole generation of girls and opening up kind of a safe joining of love and sex in those books. It’s exciting and it’s thrilling and it’s not particularly threatening because it’s not overtly sexual.”
He further explains, “A lot of the physical side of it is conveyed in things like the vampire will touch her forearm or run a hand over skin, and she just flushes all hot and cold. And for girls, that’s a shorthand for all the feelings that they’re not ready to deal with yet.”
he is retarted in the head
May = My b-day

Ok…I feel like a total idiot. I didn’t know Volterra was a real place!
WOW! Those pictures are wicked sweet! I can’t believe the are actually gonna film there! SO COOL!
Oh Lord I’m so freaking excited about New Moon.. The pic is awesome. I saw some other pics on a website on Volterra, its amazing, The alleyways, the Clock Tower, The Piazza. OMG!!! I can’t wait. This is gonna be EPIC!!!!!!
Awsome pictures, just liked i pictured it..Perhaps i should go a cartrip..Italy is just like 16 hours away from where i live..

OMG cant believe they’re acctually going there!!!!!! my friend went there last year and actually stood where the picture above is taken and got me a book mark of the place!!!!!!! aaaaarrrrrrrhhhhhhh want to go there
i cant wait for new moon
yeah meg i didnt think it was real either =) haha i feel dumb now
this looks exactly like how i imagined it while reading the book.
Lol. The very, very sad part is that I didn’t realize Volterra was real. Aw, man. I feel stupid.
But wow! That’s completely amazing. Talk about location shooting…
I liked the pictures. I just hope that that thing the girl was wearingis not what they use in the film. It looked like she was wearind a salon smock and a plastic bag on her head. I really hope they use a better material for the Volterti’s cloaks. Other than that The pics were great.
