While I don't agree with the god of writing King on his review of the writer that took the place of JK Rowling, I don't exactly disagree either. "Twilight" made a good movie, no doubt, and I consumed the entire series in a matter of a week, but who wants a book that long that they can fly through? Not I, but probably a good portion of the audience she targets. Tweens and tween mom's alike embrace the books, and I tip my hat for the very PG version of what could have been a horribly X-Rated vampire horror. I think the book that really deserves the most kudos that Meyer has penned is actually "The Host". Why? Although it's gotten mixed reviews in general from the public and media alike, I enjoy it. It was far more thought out, and intricate to boot. I like the idea of two beings cohabitating in a single body, and obviously her print agency did too. It shows that she's a varying author, and seeing another more mature literary work by her hand would be welcoming. I wonder if King even read her novels, or just let his ideology consume him.
I think one of the best books I've ever read was "The Hunger Games". Which was actually recommended on Stephenie Meyer's website. It's a pretty intricate book, and I look forward to the sequel, which is something odd, because I normally don't look forward to much in literature in general.
You can look at Suzanne Collins website here. Stephenie Meyer's website is available here.
I'm going to start cultivating a reading list, perferably sticking to the sci-fi or bizarre. I'll post anything beneficial here, for your viewing pleasure. Any recommendations? Or submissions for that matter, I'll review your work, if you want.
