| | |  Quote of the Week - Stephen King
Renowned American author Stephen King discussed his opinions on contemporary writers recently, praising Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling for her literary work. When asked if his success helped pave the way for other highly successful authors like Jo and Stephenie Meyer (of the Twilight series), Stephen stated he knew that Jo read his stories when she was younger and he believed it influenced her as a writer. Quote:
I think that I serve that purpose for some writers, and that’s a good thing. 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.

OMG STEPHEN KING, YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I totally agree with him! Twilight is turning into a phenomenon because the story line is great, and the characters, but the writing is TERRIBLE!!! I mean, I have read the Twilight series because my friends recommended them to me and I like the story line, but lets be honest here: JK Rowling is a WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better writer than Sstephanie Meyer...Way to go Stephen King, thanks for being honest!!!  | |

Thank you Mr. King for saying that, because its so true. Meyer shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence with JKR, especially if its trying to compare writing similarities.

I COMPLETELY AGREE!! Stephen is a brilliant writer, so I'm sure he can recognize other great authors when he sees them. I bet there are alot of upset Twilight fans out there.  | |

Oh ouch! 
I do have to agree with Stephen there. Compared to Jo, Stephenie Meyer isn't really that great of an author.

WoW!! The King has named the Queen!! ( we already knew that)
I read twilight books I like them, but after you finished them they get bored, I mean I can re-read them without sleeping.....I've tried.....HP is so much better!! You can read and re-read them, over and over again and you always get excited in the triwizard tournamente, you still crying with sirius's death....and with all that!! HP ROCK!!
