Stephen King explains the phenomenon of Stephanie Meyer as writing stories that only hint at more complex romance and sexuality, which is perfect for 12-year-old girls,. He says the difference between J.K. Rowling and Stephenie Meyer is Rowling is a good writer and Meyer “cannot write worth a darn.”
Tee hee. I mean, I consumed the “Twilight” series like it was a plate of doughnuts, but I’m also into calling it what it is. Unfortunately, I don’t think Stephen King is that good of a writer either. (I find him extraordinarily good at plot, but the writing itself? Meh.)
