Why do people like Stephanie Meyer?

Question: Why do people like Stephanie Meyer!?

I used to work at a bookstore, then I went to college for a year, came back, and now everyone is obsessed with Twilight and whatever else there is!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Twilight, written by Stephenie Meyer, is a great teenaged novel!. some argue that it wasn't very well written, that she could have done more with the characters and the plot or elaborated more on subjects!. some say that her writing is simple and unique, that she did her job as a writer well!. Twilight, along with its other books in the series New Moon and Eclipse, is a story about a plain jane, Bella Swan who moves to Forks Washington to live with her father, Charlie!. There, she meets a boy who sparks her interest, only to find out that he's a vampire!. Most girls like the idea of a plain jane finding some romantic, rich, and majorly hot guy to fall in love with them!. I suppose it's such a hit because it was on the New Yok Time's best selling list for a while, I believe over a month, but I'm not sure about how long it remained at the top!.

As for my oppinion, I really did enjoy the book mainly because of the cheesey romance!. Romance novels used to be my thing at the time, but now I find myself drifting to more angsty pieces!. You can get real book reviews online if you search it on Google or something!. I reccomend reading it if you're in to teen novels, but since you're fresh out of college, I doubt you'll be interested!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

She appeals to adolescent girls mostly: her concept is that love (with which many adolescent females are obsessed) is fraught with danger--a variation on the Byronic hero, the sexually attractive male who is dangerous!. To many girls who have not yet experienced it, love and sex are: it is a thrill toward which they are impelled, can't control, half want, and half dread!. Her Twilight books combine the two driving forces of humanity: eros and thanatos, put reductively and unfairly, sex and death!.

Stephanie Meyer is able to regress to that level of understanding (she is a mother and, from the two clips of her I've seen, looks like a suburban housewife)!. She uses her feelings without being superior to them, as a true writer must do!. You're not kissing your boyfriend, Tiffany: he's really a vampire!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Stephenie Meyer is a great writer!. The books cover a range of genres and now she has written the Host that takes on the science fiction genre in a great way!

Its just a craze!. I read the Twilight Series last year before all this popularity broke out too much

i agree that it is getting a little outa hand with the repeated questions on here like "jacob or edward" "favourite twilight character" "when is BD coming out!?"

i would love to work in a bookstore!. i love books and readingWww@QuestionHome@Com

Why do people like you!?!? That's the most irritating question ever!. Maybe some people actually like what she writes!. What if I said, why do people like J!.K Rowling!. Or why do people like Stephenie King!?!? Cause they're good writers!. It's a matter of opinion and what people like!. You might not like Ms!. meyer, or J,K Rowling, or other authors out there, but other people do!. You have no right to ask people why do they like something! Cause it's a matter of taste!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Flash back of Harry Potter and JK Rowling!.

Exactly same reason as JK being famous all of the sudden now, Stephenie Meyer is pretty much follwing the same path as JK!.

Plus!.!.!.It's a trend and her books aren't too bad!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ｗell not everyone!. I mean everyone have their own opinion!. Like not everyone likes Harry Potter!. And maybe because teens like romantic and the vocabulary is great!. SM expresses her story!. I think that's why!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

People that like Stephenie Meyer are people who used to hate reading until they read Twilight, and because they had never experienced a good book, thought that Twilight was great!.

Let me get this straight for you right now: Twilight is the worst book I have ever read!. It's for twelve year old girls!. Do not read it, it is idiotic and appallingly written!.

Anyone who likes it needs to learn what REAL literature is!.
