I think this is just wrong and childish. Stephen King decided to open his big mouth the other day and basically put author of the Twilight Saga Stephenie Meyer down. He pretty much flat out said that she can’t write worth a S@&$. To me it’s either one of two things. He is jealous of her success or he thought he needed some publicity so he would come out with this ridiculous statement.

Here’s what Stephen said:

“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.”

I really hope that Stephenie doesn’t take what he said to heart. The Twilight Saga was a great read and a great idea. If it wasn’t a good book he wouldn’t have sold as many copies as it did and it wouldn’t have been made into a film. I think he just needs to keep his mouth shut!!
