I totally agree. I think the twilight books were not very well written light entertainment. I'm not a huge fan of the series but there were things I really liked in the series. However I must say Stephen King is awesome. His books are not to be compared to the twi books because they're completely different but in my opinion I liked his works better. He's been an amazing author for over two decades he's entitled to his opinion.
I agree. I think those little kids are so stupid acting like thw world is ending because a renownd author gave his honest opinion. I bought a hardcover (1st edition i think) for my sister and she couldn't even finish it. I think she either got bored or tired. It's not my cup of tea cuz i think it actually ruins the Vampire persona. But i think Collin Farrell might've saved it. And i think i should try PAtterson. I like good stories. Also have you read RObert B Parker's books? 41 pages in awesome
@crippledcritic It's so old that it's been taken down. I just linked to a different article on MTV News in the description above; it is the best I can do now.
wow personaly i think for these books to be good at all was to stop being so original that the vampires are more like the worst super hheros ever and are actualy vampires i understand originality but there is a point were she severd all ties to the origan stories of the vampie please PLEASE get your chaictars straight befor you publish a non-sensicle book like this....
I dislike twightlight , and this is why . I hate twightlight due to the fact that it is a theme stolen from the old show " the twight light zone ". I hate twiglight , but will not waste my anger onhating it and or it's fans . I never curse at people or things i dislike , it is low class and disrespectful> I dislike it , but I thanks you for respecting my opinoin ! Twighlight is the worst thing ever !
Your so right! The Twilight series was horribly written, but sort of entertaining. Except New Moon (yawn) and Breaking Dawn (As Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons would say: Worst. Saga ending. EVER!)
I won't lie, these movies are not geared to a male demographic, that's cool. Though these movies do validate my belief that all of the rabble rousing that most women do about "idealized beauty," and the big, bad media telling us what to like, only applies to Baywatch and swimsuit calendars. Nyah, nyah you're shallow too.
I totally agree with you. I mean I've read all the books in the'saga' and found them entertaining BUT not well written. They're horribly illogical, misogynist and predictable at times.
I'm getting more and more anti-Twilight because I can more relate to the views of the anti-Twilight crew than those of the fanatic Twihards.
Every work of fiction (yep, Edward REALLY does not exist) should be open to discussion and even critique, which some fans just don't seem to get.
i agree with you with about Twilight needs too settle down alot its too over the top as much as i like the series i agree that there are alot of other books that i love such as princess bride and a few of alice hoffmans books as well i go more for the fictional fairytales if you will but i totally respect your opinion and im backing ya
Well i have to say this is the best ''Rant'' i've seen you actually gave reasons for what you said instead of ''Twilight sucks that's it get over it'' i personally am twelve and i've read the books eighteen times each and still counting I also know the twilight movie word for word but i agree they aren't the best written books ever!!
Stephen King is a true artist, a real man with a terrifying and awesome imagination. Stephanie Meyer can only talk to her inner child, sad thing is every other child seems to like it too, proven in the "New Moon" trailer she just wants to get thease books out into movies as soon as possible, it hasn't even been a YEAR and the new movie is coming out! Its insulting to writing to have her apart of its name, I hope after this little saga she hides in a deep shithole away from america.
Agreed! She's getting better with practice. And let me just say, that I'm a 25 yr. old reader of classic literature such as Poe, Shakespeare and Austen who loved the Twilight series because they were entertaining. I'm ok with being entertained but acknowleging that it's not in the caliber of classic literature. Futhermore, I highly doubt that Stephenie Meyer was even offended by that comment....in fact I thought I heard her say she wasn't a good writer in an interview once....hmm.
I think you're right about that. She admitted it herself that she wasn't a good writer but with every book she writes, she says she's imporving slowly. That's the mature reaction.
(I cringed when I heard this because all I thought "I can see the eractions now."
Totally agree with you, LadyElric617. People, take a breath!
YES! I agree. Well, kinda. I've never even finished the first book. Got to chapter 8 and, well, has anyone seen the Family Guy clip where Peter walks out halfway through 'Failure to Launch' saying 'Done!'?
Yeah, that was pretty much me. But you are right. The books aren't well written at all. I mean, there's hardly any dialouge, and Ed and Bella are just too perfect for each other to make for a good dark love story. I honestly don't know what ppl love it. No offense, btw.
You're my new best friend! I agree with everything you said. I'm not a big fan of King's style personally but he has great plots and very creative stories. Yeah, Twitards need to settle down.
I was reading King when I was that big too!! :D :D
And you're completely right; Meyer is a bit of a lazy, unimaginative writer. I think if she put a little more effort into her work, her books might not be so monotonous. I noticed none of her works had weight...nothing stuck to me, I couldn't see or feel or taste anything.
Thank you for the intelligent, entertaining rant :D
You are very fun to listen to! I am glad to see that there are still well educated people in the world. I get into discussions like this with my friends but its more about movies. I will say a movie is not very good but I still enjoyed it and people are always really confused by that. By the way I just saw the movie Let the Right One In and it was awesome.
I agree with everything you said. I tried to explain this to my friend and she just exploded. She then lied and said she's never reading SK again when in fact she's never read a word by him. Funny thing is sh'es never read a word by Stephenie Meyer too. Oh well, I still love her.
It's good to hear from a person who doesn't necessarily think Stephenie Meyer's a bad storyteller, but a bad story writer. A vast difference. I seem to be the only teenage girl in my entire high school who isn't obsessed with the Twilight series.
Most of the people who are mad at King's comments, haven't even read his stuff. They're just obsessed fankids who wouldn't know good writing if it slapped them in the face because they've only read about 5 books in their entire life.
You made some good points here. If you insult something somebody likes, they take it as a personal attack for some reason and go on a wildly defensive tirade. It's immature egoism. Someday they're realize that Stephen King was right.
p.s. You also inadvertently informed me that this video was posted. Youtube had given me problems the other day and said the video had failed to load 4 times...lo and behold they lied.

mr king writes books that are fun,gripping,gross and vvvvvv good.
i find him to be a writer of the highest calibre.
and no you don't have to be a ravin interlect to get the books he has done,but i think a bit of common sense is requiered.
the ppl bashing/hating on mr king with useless comments i think are quite funny.
i myself am not bashing/hating miss meyers cause i have not read or seen any of her stuff
