The Stand is fucking incredible
As is Carrie and Firestarter rly. Stephen King is the man when it comes to writing, I find a comparison between him and JK Rowling absolutely laughable let alone a comparison with Stephanie Meyer.
I'm well looking forward to his new book Under the Dome

I can imagine, bella being a hot 24 something but is playing a teenager, and meets a hot 30 something guy, named Edward and during edward's introduction, there will be pyrotechnics in the distance, followed by a guitar solo.
Well if this film was directed by Michael Bay anyway.
[/quote]I hate to say this, but I think Michael Bay's films are actually better than Twilight.
Also yeah, Stephen King is awesome.

No, you are absolutely correct. Lmao.
I'm digging through ma's old books for any Stephen King novels. She's kinda freaked with IT.

Don't do it! Your brain might melt from lack of plot, character development, and character personality!
Her books are bad, full of mistakes and plotholes and...I could keep going on. The characters are either abusive or wimpy, and I can't see why a person would even like Edward. King is a million times better.
And, yes, I've read nearly all the books. I read the first three and half of the fourth (though I know everything that happens...). I like to know the subject before I debate. Breaking Dawn isn't gonna be finished any time soon, though.

Re: Stephen King pwns Stephanie Meyer FGJ
Okay, I have the first book, but haven't read it yet.
I purchased this book because I wished to find out what all the hubbub was about; a lot of people were talking around the time the film was due to and then came out in theaters. I didn't know about this series until I started working at Borders and heard both good and bad about it.
It seems Twilight gains either haters or lovers. I've not come across anyone who thinks it's 'okay' - with good and bad in the story and with the characters, etc.
Repeatedly, from those who hate the story, I've heard that Stephanie Myers is a bad writer. What is bad about it? That's my question. It seems that it's not so much the topic she write about but how she forms the characters, and writes the story.
As for the lovers I mentioned, it does seem to be a fan base mainly of young adult women, either girls entering and in their early teens up to young women either freshly out of high school or even perhaps college, and getting into the 'adult' world more fully.
I can say that I flipped through the book and noticed a style of writing that is indeed unique to what's out there. Yes, this is me being nice, but as well being fair. Just because it's different doesn't make it bad. Perhaps I'll learn more in this thread as well as when I do get around to reading the book myself.
For my end notes, though: Vampires are so freakin' overrated! I am not impressed by vampires... It's just so - usual!

Re: Stephen King pwns Stephanie Meyer FGJ
Haha Twilight....
I hate that series. If not for the crap writing, shit Mary Sue characters and non-existant plot or the batshit insane fangirls, then it's for the abusive and sexist undertones.
"Hey girls, it's okay for your boyfriend to mentally abuse you as long as he's drop dead gorgeous!"
I went in a bookshop the other day, and saw they had a whole section dedicated to Twilight, and one of the quotes on the wall was something like
"Every girl wants her own Edward Cullen." Erm, ew. No thanks
